A task’s description is free text and is never returned. Pass `updatedSince` to read only what changed. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json get /tasks openapi: 3.1.0 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. servers: - url: https://api.scoutworks.app/api/v1 description: Live - url: https://api-demo.scoutworks.app/api/v1 description: Demo (sample data, reset weekly) security: - bearerAuth: [] tags: - name: Keys description: Check a key and see what it can reach. - name: Members description: Young people in the group. - name: Sections description: The group’s sections and units, and their ids. - name: Events description: Meetings, trips and camps, and who is going. - name: Badges description: Badge progress and awards. - name: Waiting list description: Applications waiting for a place. paths: /tasks: get: tags: - Tasks summary: List tasks description: >- Tasks on the boards `GET /task-boards` lists, oldest first.
