        ## Background
        
        The task management app Things stores all your to-dos in a SQLite database file (details [here](https://culturedcode.com/things/support/articles/2982272/#get-the-things-3-database-file)). This format is intended to be machine-readable, not human-readable. The aim of this project is let you access all your data in a human-readable way. We thereby stay as true to the database as possible while doing SQL joins and transformations to aid understanding of the data.
        
        If any aspect of the API seems overly complex or doesn't meet your needs, please don't hesitate to add a new issue [here](https://github.com/thingsapi/things.py/issues).
        
        ### Terminology
        
        Here's the technical terminology used involving the database:
        
        - area
        - tag
        - task
          - type
            - `'to-do'`: can have checklists;
            - `'project'`: can have to-dos and headings;
            - `'heading'`:  part of a project; groups to-dos.
          - status:  `"incomplete"`,  `"canceled"`, or `"completed"`
          - trashed: `True` or `False`
          - start: `"Inbox"`, `"Anytime"`, or `"Someday"`
        - checklist item (contained within a to-do)
        
        ## Documentation
        
        The full documentation can be found here: https://thingsapi.github.io/things.py/things/api.html
        
        ## Things URLs
        
        You can make good use of the `uuid` to link to to-dos, areas, tags, and more from other apps. Read more [here](https://culturedcode.com/things/blog/2018/02/hey-things/).
