To-Do service API

Tutorial: Get all tasks

This tutorial shows how to use the GET method to retrieve the data for all tasks in the service.

This tutorial takes about 15 minutes to complete.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have completed the Add a new task topic and that you have added tasks to your service.

Get all tasks

Use the GET method to fetch all of your tasks in the service.

  1. Start your local service by using the following command:
{
     cd <your-github-workspace>/to-do-service/api
 json-server -w to-do-db-source.json
}
  1. Open the Postman app on your desktop.
  2. Create a new request with the following values
    • METHOD: GET
    • URL: /tasks
    • Headers:
      • Content-Type: application/json
  3. In the Postman app, choose Send to make the request.
  4. Watch for the response body.

NOTE: The names should be the same as the ones used in your Request body and the response should include the user_id for each task. For example:


{
    "user_id": 1,
    "title": "Grocery shopping",
    "description": "eggs, bacon, gummy bears",
    "due_date": "2025-02-20T17:00",
    "warning": "-10",
    "id": 1
}

For details, refer to the task resource.
