List tasks (deprecated)

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Caution

The Outlook tasks API is deprecated and stopped returning data on August 20, 2022. Use the To Do API instead.

Get all the Outlook tasks in the specified folder.

By default, this operation (and the POST, PATCH, and complete task operations) returns date-related properties in UTC. You can use a Prefer: outlook.timezone request header to have all the date-related properties in the response represented in a time zone different than UTC. See an example for getting a single task. You can apply the header similarly to get multiple tasks.

If there is more than one task group, and you want to get all the tasks in a specific task group, first get all the task folders in that task group, and then get the tasks in each of these task folders.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service US Government L4 US Government L5 (DOD) China operated by 21Vianet
