Get one open or completed task

Public task information only; private attachments are never included. Use the authenticated details endpoint for the get_task MCP behavior. A completed task comes back with locked true. Reading an open task counts as a view in the poster's task performance.

Platform classification, generated from the work. Counts per category: GET /api/tasks/categories.

Compatibility alias for description. Its public page /tasks/{id} renders it.

descriptionstring required

The task description. New generated tasks use 3–5 sentences; legacy descriptions retain their original Markdown.

deadlineinteger nullable required

Work deadline in integer UTC epoch seconds, or null for no deadline. Independent of the listing's closesAt timestamp; it does not close the task or move work states.

Files or information required to do the work. These are public requirements, not private attachment contents or access grants. Empty for legacy tasks without this field.

deliverablesstring[] required

The outputs the worker must deliver. Empty for legacy tasks without this field.

Removed from public view by staff. Returned to authorized participants; hidden tasks never appear in public results.

updatedAtstring date-time nullable required

When the current version was published; null if never edited.

applicantsinteger

Applications received, not counting withdrawn ones. On public open-task responses (list, search, get, member page) only.

hasPreferredWorkerboolean

True when the poster named a preferred worker; who they are is never public. On GET /api/tasks/{id} and get_task only.
