# Get a task

> Retrieve a task by ID, including its current schedule and assignees.

Retrieve a task by ID, including its current schedule and assignees.

Use a developer access key. See [authentication, errors, and rate limits](/api-reference/authentication).

Required scopes: `tasks:read`.

Task access uses the owner’s current workspace role. Non-admin members can access tasks they created or are assigned to; inaccessible tasks return `404`. See [task visibility](/api-reference/tasks/overview#visibility). A visible archived task can be retrieved. Response names include `dueDate` and `estimatedTime`, unlike the snake\_case write parameters.

## Parameters

<ParamField path="taskId" type="string" required>
  Task ID accessible to the key owner.
</ParamField>

## Response

**200** — Returns the resource under `data`. Example IDs and values are illustrative.
