The call to the new API differs by the addition of the /api/ parameter in the request:

https://{installation_address}/rest/api/{user_id}/{webhook_token}/tasks.task.add

curl -X POST \
        -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
        -H "Accept: application/json" \
        -d '{"fields":{"title":"Task Title","deadline":"2025-12-31T23:59:59+02:00","creatorId":29,"responsibleId":1,"crmItemIds":["L_1000959"]}}' \
        https://**put_your_bitrix24_address**/rest/api/**put_your_user_id_here**/**put_your_webhook_here**/tasks.task.add
        
curl -X POST \

        -H "Accept: application/json" \
        -d '{"fields":{"title":"Task Title","deadline":"2025-12-31T23:59:59+02:00","creatorId":29,"responsibleId":1,"crmItemIds":["L_1000959"]},"auth":"**put_access_token_here**"}' \

The SDK does not yet support calls to the address /rest/api/. Use direct HTTP requests, for example, via curl or fetch.
