# List task boards

> The group’s task boards, oldest first, each with its columns left to right and its labels: the ids a task is added with. A key reaches every board in its group, restricted boards and the trustee duties board included. A change is recorded as made by the admin who created the key, and Scoutworks marks the task with the key’s name. On the trustee duties board every task is a trustee duty: adding one needs a `dueDate`, and creates the duty with it.

info:
  title: Scoutworks public API
  version: 1.10.0
  description: >-
    Read your Scout group’s data from your own tools: spreadsheets, scripts,
    Zapier or n8n, and keep its task boards up to date. Every request is scoped
    to the group that owns the key.


    **Authentication.** Send a group API key as a Bearer token. Keys are created
    by a group admin and shown once.


    **Scopes.** Each operation names the scope it needs. Area scopes
    (`members:read`, `events:read`, `badges:read`, `waiting-list:read`,
    `tasks:read`) open an area; a `.contacts` scope adds dates of birth and
    parent details to that area’s responses. `tasks:write` is the one scope that
    changes data: it adds and updates tasks, as the admin who created the key.
    Fields a key may not see are left out, not sent as null. Health, bank
    details and free-text notes are never available.


    **Pagination.** Lists return `{ data, nextCursor }`. Pass `nextCursor` back
    as `?cursor=`, with the same filters, until it is null. `limit` is 1 to 200.


    **Errors.** Every error is `{ error: { code, message } }`. Branch on `code`;
    `message` is for people and may change.


    **Compatibility.** We aim to change v1 only by addition: new endpoints, new
    optional parameters, new response fields and new enum values. Ignore fields
    you do not know and treat an unknown enum value as “other”. We will try to
    warn you before a breaking change, but one can still happen without notice,
    so check responses and fail loudly on an error. Changes are listed in the
    changelog at https://developers.scoutworks.app/changelog.


    **Rate limits.** 120 requests a minute per key. `RateLimit-*` headers report
    what is left.
