Public API: Get a Task

Getting a specific task

The GET https://api.pneumatic.app/v2/tasks/<id> lets you get all the info about a specific task (you're gonna need to know its id).

There's no params here, you just tack the task id at the end of the handle. You can find it in the url of the task you're interested in, for example.

Whatever the case may be, you just pass it in and get the lowdown on the task. Here's what it looks like in Python:

import requests
import json


api_key = "g-DvJPOP8dJ9qme2kfQFUzwHGOIZTWDY"
#template_id = int(input("enter a template id: "))

headers = {
  'Authorization': f'Bearer {api_key}'
}
task_id = 164570
r = requests.get(
    f'https://api.pneumatic.app/v2/tasks/{task_id}',
    headers=headers
)
#g-DvJPOP8dJ9qme2kfQFUzwHGOIZTWDY
if r.ok:
  the_task = r.json()
  print(json.dumps(the_task, indent=4))

The json you get in response looks something like this:

{
   "id": int,
   "name": str,
   "description": str,
   "date_started": str,
   "date_completed": null | str,
   "due_date": null | str,
   "is_completed": bool,
   "is_urgent": bool,
   "require_completion_by_all": bool,
   "performers": [int], // users ids
   "delay": null | {
     "id": int,
     "duration": str,
     "start_date": str,
     "end_date": str,
     "estimated_end_date": str
   },
   "output": [
     {
      "id": int,
      "task_id": int | null,
      "kickoff_id": int | null,
      "type": str, // string|text|radio|checkbox|date|url|dropdown|file|user
      "api_name": str,
      "name": str,
      "value": str,
      "attachments": [
        {
          "id": int,
          "name": str,
          "url": str
        }
      ],
      "selections": [
        {
          "id": int,
          "api_name": str,
          "value": str,
          "is_selected": bool
        }
      ]
    }
   ]
}

Essentially it's all the information there is in the system about the task.
