REST API - cant see tasks listed via the localhost connection

Post by swilkinsUK »

Hi, i'd like to use the built in REST api server to report on task progress but it only seems to list task via the GET /api/tasks that are local tasks how would i see tasks created under the localhost:5501 in the below tree for example?

Is "localhost:5501" your local service, right?
It is not enough to register the RoboTask system service. The RoboTask service and the RoboTask application in your user session have different task sets.
If you have registered the service, it has no tasks. You must create or import the necessary tasks for the service.
Application and Service are different isolated instances of RoboTask running in different sessions and have different sets of tasks.

You can configure a REST API server for the service using RoboTask service manager (menu Remote -> RoboTask Service manager)
