--- title: "Service: /members/{member}/tasks/find [GET]" source: https://dev.pageseeder.com/api/services/find-tasks-GET.html description: "Retrieves a paginated list of non-archived tasks accessible to a specific member, filtered by various parameters like status, priority, due date, and assignment. Results are sorted by most recent comment." last_updated: 2026-09-02T11:36:19+10:00 document_type: api_endpoint operation_id: comment-GET resource_id: comment path_template: /members/{member}/tasks/find http_method: GET api_category: comment implementation_version: 6.2008 api_since: 5.3001 deprecated_since: null obsolete_since: null api_support: supported cache_control: null generated_at: 2026-09-02 tokens: ~1615 --- # /members/\{member\}/tasks/find \[GET\] ## Description Load a list of non-archived tasks using filter parameters. The last [comment](../../reference/glossary/comment.md) in the [task](../../reference/glossary/task.md) must match all filter parameters. The tasks with the most recent last comment are returned first. This service performs the same as [Service: /tasks/find \[GET\]](find-tasks-public-GET.md) but returns any tasks that `{member}` has access to. > **Note:** The @status, @priority, @due attributes and \ element might not be included if comments=first or none and the last comment in the task is not loaded. ### Performance The performance of this service declines as the number of task or workflow comments increases. So when you have a large number of tasks or workflows, you might need to consider an alternative such as using an index search which includes the filter `pssubtype:task` or `pssubtype:workflow`. The main differences with this service is that the index: 1. Is updated asynchronously after a task is created or updated. 2. Returns search results that include less data fields than the corresponding objects. 3. Does not return results from workflows on archived documents as these are not indexed. If using the index isn’t possible, you can do the following: - If you don’t need the contents of the comment, consider using `contents=none`. - If you don’t need the attachments, consider using `attachments=none`. - Use the `createdafter` or `pagesize` parameters to reduce the number of results. ## Parameters | Name | Description | Required | Type | Default | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | assignedafter | The date time after which the tasks were assigned last, format is ISO-8601 e.g. `2010-10-25T12:26:00+10:00` | no | datetime | | | assignedbefore | The date time before which the tasks were assigned last, format is ISO-8601 e.g. `2011-08-25T10:20:00-04:00` | no | datetime | | | assignedto | The `ID` of the member the tasks are assigned to (`0` means Nobody) | no | long | | | attachments | The attachments to include (can be `none`, `context`, `all`) | no | enum | `all` | | author | The ID of the tasks author | no | long | | | comments | Which comments should be loaded for each task (can be: `none`, `first`, `last`, `all`, `archive`) | no | enum | `last` | | contents | The contents to include (can be `none`, `all`) | no | enum | `all` | | contentrole | The contentrole for the tasks, can be `comment`, `workflow`, `all` (`comment` includes `file attachment`) | no | enum | `all` | | context | The context for the tasks (can be `group`, `uri`, `all`) | no | enum | `all` | | createdafter | The date time after which the tasks were created, format is ISO-8601 e.g. `2010-10-25T12:26:00+10:00` | no | datetime | | | createdbefore | The date time before which the tasks were created, format is ISO-8601 e.g. `2011-08-25T10:20:00-04:00` | no | datetime | | | dueafter | The date time after which the tasks are due, format is ISO-8601 e.g. `2010-10-25T12:26:00+10:00` | no | datetime | | | duebefore | The date time before which the tasks are due format is ISO-8601 e.g. `2011-08-25T10:20:00-04:00` | no | datetime | | | emails | The email addresses to include, can be `none`, `all` (admin only) | no | enum | `none` | | groups | Comma-separated list of groups the tasks **MUST** belong to (if not specified, the user's current groups are used) | no | string | | | labels | Comma-separated list of label values – task **MUST** have all (not recommended for filtering large data sets) | no | string | | | modifiedafter | The date time after which the tasks were modified, format is ISO-8601 e.g. `2010-10-25T12:26:00+10:00` | no | string | | | page | The page to load | no | integer | `1` | | pagesize | The number of results per page | no | integer | `1000` | | paths | The context URI paths for the tasks - **MUST** be URL encoded (comma-separated list with optional `*` suffix) | no | string | | | priorities | Comma-separated list of priorities | no | string | | | project | Return only tasks from the current user’s groups that are under this project (only if groups not specified) | no | string | | | publicationid | Return only tasks for documents in this publication. *Requires PageSeeder 5.9907 or higher.* | no | publicationid | | | statuses | Comma-separated list of statuses | no | string | | | tasksize | The maximum number of comments to return per task (0 = unlimited) | no | integer | `100` | | title | The title of the tasks (optional wildcard `*` suffix, use `**` to escape) | no | string | | | type | The type of the tasks (optional wildcard `*` suffix, use `**` to escape) | no | string | | | types | Comma-separated list of the types the task can have (empty string means no type) | no | strings | | ## Permission This service can only be invoked by the member or an administrator. If the parameter emails is set to `all`, the permission is restricted to administrator only. The other restriction is that the groups parameter can only list groups that have public access or in which the current user is a guest or higher. ## Response The output has the following format: ```xml ... [ ... ] My thread Some text ... ... ... ``` > **Note:** The `@replycount` , `@lastcommentid` and `@lastcommentdate` are only included and `@title` is from the last comment, if the `comments` parameter is `last`, `all` or `archive`, otherwise `@title` is from the first comment. ## Error Handling | Code | Cause / Description | | --- | --- | | 0x1306 | The Group is invalid or not accessible | | 0x1312 | The createdafter or createdbefore date is invalid | | 0x1313 | The author is invalid |
