# Get Task

`GET /api/v1/tasks/{task_id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.badgeia.com`
- URL: `https://api.badgeia.com/api/v1/tasks/{task_id}`
- Auth: none declared

## Path parameters

- `task_id` string, uuid, required

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- TaskRead: One catalog task as every caller may see it. #1263 — this schema deliberately has NO ``expected_output`` field, for any task, secret or not. #1222/#1261 stopped the arena from *sending* the answer key, but every request still carries ``task_id`` and the anonymous ``GET /tasks`` / ``GET /tasks/{id}`` returned the key for every non-secret task, so an endpoint could look it up mid-run (confirmed on production, 2026-10-16). Removing the field — rather than nulling it per caller — is the same shape of guarantee ``RunRead`` carries: no present or future read surface that reuses this schema can leak it. The only echo is ``TaskAdminRead`` on the admin-only create endpoint. ``has_expected_output`` tells the UI whether grading compares against a reference text or only requires a non-empty response (the same fact the run trace exposes as ``expected_output_shape``). It never carries the text. RES-014-C1 — ``is_secret``/``suite_id``/``suite_version`` are surfaced so callers know a task is a holdout (the marker is public; only the ANSWER is secret).
