Listing user tasks through REST API doesnt always work

[Mariana Aires]

We're building on our front page a list of tasks for each user. For this effect, we use AJAX to call the REST API:

jQuery.ajax({
url: "/rest/mywork/1/task",
type: "GET",
dataType: "json",
success: function(data){ }

While this works, it doesn't show all the user tasks, only some of them. When I print the results, not all the user tasks are shown. Is there an way I can force it to show all the tasks?

Hi @@Mariana Aires 

REST API responses in Confluence server are, most of the times, paginated as highlighted in Pagination in the REST API .

You may want to play with the following REST API call, which is the same used for the Task Report that is found in the user's profile.

/rest/inlinetasks/1/my-task-report/?pageSize=5&pageIndex=0&reportParameters=%7B%22columns%22%3A%5B%22description%22%2C%22duedate%22%2C%22location%22%5D%2C%22assignees%22%3A%5B%22user001%22%5D%2C%22creators%22%3A%5Bnull%5D%2C%22status%22%3A%22incomplete%22%2C%22sortColumn%22%3A%22duedate%22%2C%22reverseSort%22%3Afalse%7D

You may change the pageSize and pageIndex values to get different results.

pageSize: how many tasks in the current page

pageIndex: which page to get, starting from 0

I hope that helps.

Kind regards,

When I try using the call you suggested, this is the result I get

{currentPage: 0, totalPages: 0, adaptive: false, detailLines: Array(0)}

Changing the parameters doesn't fix it.

Hi @Mariana Aires 

I forgot to give you an additional information on that URL.

Where you read user001, change it for the target username.

That should do it.

Kind regards,

Is there a way to assign it to the current user?

Hi @Thiago Masutti ,

I also need the API to read task and your solution it works for me. Thank you. 

Is there any API document or introduction of this?

rest/inlinetasks/1/my-task-report/

I want to know more detail. 

Thank you.
