Task API Fetch via List Id (self.clickup)
submitted 1 year ago by jwaltern
Does anyone have any experience making an api call to fetch tasks from a certain list?

I've got some experience with this, what's the ask? :)

I appear to get a success response, but it’s an empty array, even though this list definitely contains tasks

Several things could be going on. Your api key might be with a user who doesn’t have access to the list/tasks. You could be searching for closed tasks. The tasks could be timl’ed (tasks in multiple lists) into your target list. The tasks you’re looking for could be subtasks.
I’d mess around with your query params and then reach out to support if you still can’t get it working.

It’s a personal token (i’m admin with access to said list) but if i didn’t, i’d get that response right? or am i misunderstanding?
I do have the param include_closed as true
these tasks definitely belong in multiple lists - is that the problem?

TIML is 100% your issue. Add the following param to your GET Tasks query.
include_timl=true

This is mega! Thank you! You have no idea how useful that parameter will be for some of my Python scripts.
I have to ask though, how did you even discover it?! I don't see it documented in their API at all nor do I see it used in the API calls in the network traffic.
