Changes to the Tasks API

Hi there

I’m just wondering if the docs are up to date (I’m hoping not!).

At present, if I want to get all the tasks, I need to loop over
projects and ask for the tasks for each one.

Which, if someone has 50 projects, but only 5 have tasks, it badly
inefficient. 50 http calls, esp over a mobile connection.

Can we get a (paged?) list of tasks? eg /tasks without the project=:id
bit, and it just returns all the tasks in one go? Or is that there
already, and just not documented?

Nic,

You are correct, the API only supports getting tasks on a per-project basis
at this time.

Nic,

Sorry, I only answered half of your question.

I’ve noted your feature request, but to be frank, it’s unlikely to change
anytime soon.
