List tasks
The workspace's tasks, earliest due first. Filter by board column or assignee; with neither, you get the whole queue a page at a time.
https://app.xplantpro.com/read:tasksA task's due date changes when it is rescheduled, so a task rescheduled while you page through the list can move between pages: it may appear twice, or not at all. Tasks due at the same moment keep a fixed order.
Query parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
status | "backlog" | "todo" | "in_progress" | "waiting_blocked" | "review" | "done" | No | Only tasks in this board column. |
assigned_to | string (uuid) | No | Only tasks assigned to this workspace member (user id). |
limit | integer | No | Page size. Values above 200 are capped at 200. Default 50. From 1 to 200. |
offset | integer | No | Number of records to skip. Prefer cursor where a list offers it: an offset shifts when records are added ahead of it. Default 0. At least 0. |
cursor | string | No | Continue from the previous page: pass its meta.next_cursor unchanged, with the same filters. Treat it as opaque. Not combinable with offset. Up to 2048 characters. |
Example
curl "https://app.xplantpro.com/api/v1/tasks?status=todo&limit=50" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $XPLANT_API_KEY"Response
200 with { "ok": true, "data": … }. data is an array. To get the next page, pass meta.next_cursor back as cursor; it is null on the last page. See Pagination.

category | string | null | Yes | — |
created_at | string | null | Yes | — |
entity_link | object | null | No | The plant or explant the task is about. Returned when you create, fetch or update one task; lists leave it out. |

}The envelope can also carry meta:
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
next_cursor | string | null | Yes | Pass as cursor to fetch the next page. null means this is the last page. |
| Response header | Meaning |
|---|---|
X-Request-Id | Identifies this request. Include it when you contact support. |
Errors
| Status | Code | When |
|---|---|---|
401 | UNAUTHORIZED | The key is missing, malformed or revoked, or its owner is no longer a member of the workspace. |
402 | PAID_PLAN_REQUIRED | The workspace's plan does not include the API. The full API is included with xPlant+ Teams and Enterprise; on Hobby and Pro Lab, keys can connect devices only. |
403 | FORBIDDEN | The key lacks a scope this operation requires, or its owner's current role in the workspace cannot use it — a key never does more than its owner can in xPlant. error names the scope, and for a role, the role it needs. |
403 | DEVICE_TOKEN_NOT_ACCEPTED | A device token was sent; this operation needs a workspace API key. |
422 | VALIDATION_ERROR | Both cursor and offset were sent; use one. |
422 | INVALID_CURSOR | The cursor is malformed, or came from a different list or different filters. Start again without it. |
429 | RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED | Too many requests for this key, device token or workspace. Wait Retry-After seconds. |
500 | TASK_QUERY_FAILED | The tasks could not be read. Retry later. |
Branch on code, never on the error text. See Errors.
Get a contamination
One contamination log, with the plants and explants it is linked to.
Create a task
Adds a task to the workspace. Set priority, priority_rank and assigned_to in the same call so a scheduler can place work in one request. Order set this way counts as automatic, so a later hand-reorder in the app takes precedence over your next sync.
