# Log time manually (/docs/reference/rest-api/time-logs/createTimeLog)

Creates a manual time entry. Give either `durationSeconds` or both `startedAt`
and `endedAt` (never both forms). Classification defaults from the item's
priority — `URGENT` items log as `INTERRUPTION`, everything else as `PLANNED` —
and can be overridden per entry. Requires `work:write`.
