# Export tasks as Markdown

`GET /api/boards/{boardId}/tasks.md`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://cnvs.app`
- URL: `https://cnvs.app/api/boards/{boardId}/tasks.md`
- Auth: none declared

Export a `todo`-mode board's columns + tasks as a Markdown checklist grouped by column. Done cards render as `[x]`, open as `[ ]`; priority / assignee / due_date ride inline as trailing tags. Mirrors the MCP `export_tasks` tool (default `format: "markdown"`). A `draw` board (no columns) still returns 200 with just the board heading.

## Response `200`

Markdown document.

## Other responses

- `400`: Invalid input (missing or malformed board id).
- `401`: Board is access-locked and the request did not carry a valid key. `lockMode` tells the client whether to prompt for a code or just disable write UI.
- `404`: Board does not exist or was deleted within the 30-day tombstone window.
- `429`: Rate limit exceeded. Standard REST/MCP: 60 requests/10s/board; valid X-Import-Token infrastructure tier: 600/10s/board; browser WebSocket always 60/10s/board. REST/MCP enforcement is soft per-isolate; WebSocket enforcement is strong per Durable Object.
