I'm using node.js and the api key for auth. All my get actions work, and I've been able to post a new project, but new tasks always return 'server error'. Here's the object I'm sending to the /tasks endpoint:
data: {
name: 'Figure this out',
notes: '',
assignee: null,
completed: false,
assignee_status: 'later',
completed_at: null,
due_on: null,
tags: [],
parent: null,
followers: [ { id: 5622986387066 }, { id: 5622895459066 } ],
projects: [ 6156399090409 ],
workspace: 1707039411020
}
Any ideas? I've tried passing those ID values a variety of ways, and I've tried creating a more simple task, always fails with a 'server error' response.
Seems like it's the "parent": null that's causing the unhelpful Server Error, which definitely seems like a bug on our side - I've filed it and will hopefully get time to look into it soon. Trim that out, and it gives you actual error messages.
Just to save you some time: you can't set completed_at or tags, and followers should be just an array of integers ("followers": [ 5622986387066, 5622895459066 ]).
You can set completed: [true/false], and the completed_at will be set to the time at which it was marked complete. Not being able to attach tags to a task is a known issue, and one we're hoping to rectify.
Additionally, it's just a little annoying that the format of a response doesn't map 1-1 to the format for posting/updating. We're hoping to do a pass on the overall design of the API to unify those parts a bit more.
