Get Task by ID tasks.task.get

If you are developing integrations for Bitrix24 using AI tools (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor), connect to the MCP server so that the assistant can utilize the official REST documentation.

Scope: task

Who can execute the method: any user

The method tasks.task.get returns information about a task by its ID.

Access to the data depends on permissions:

  • Administrators can see all tasks,
  • Managers can see their employees' tasks,
  • Others can only see tasks available to them.

Method Parameters

Name
type

Description

taskId
integer

Task ID.

The task ID can be obtained when creating a new task or by using the get task list method.

select
array

An array of record fields that will be returned by the method. You can specify only the fields you need. If the array contains the value "*", all available fields will be returned.

By default, it returns all fields except for custom ones. It is recommended to specify particular fields in the selection, as default fields may change.

System fields UF_CRM_TASK, UF_TASK_WEBDAV_FILES, and UF_MAIL_MESSAGE are not returned by default. Specify one of these fields in SELECT to get their values.

To retrieve custom fields, specify them in SELECT. You can find the names of custom fields using the tasks.task.getFields method.

The CHAT_ID field, which is the chat ID for the new task card, is returned by default. Use its value to work with chat methods.
