Request

This endpoint expects an object.
filters
objectOptional

Filters to apply on tasks. You can use the helper class Filters from this page to create Data Manager Filters.
Example: {"conjunction": "or", "items": [{"filter": "filter:tasks:completed_at", "operator": "greater", "type": "Datetime", "value": "2021-01-01T00:00:00.000Z"}]}

selectedItems
unionOptional

Task selection by IDs. If filters are applied, the selection will be applied to the filtered tasks.If “all” is false, "included" must be used. If “all” is true, "excluded" must be used.
Examples: {"all": false, "included": [1, 2, 3]} or {"all": true, "excluded": [4, 5]}

ordering
list of enumsOptional

List of fields to order by. Fields are similar to filters but without the filter: prefix. To reverse the order, add a minus sign before the field name, e.g. -tasks:created_at.
