List tasks (deprecated)

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Caution

The Outlook tasks API is deprecated and stopped returning data on August 20, 2022. Use the To Do API instead.

Get all the Outlook tasks in the user's mailbox.

By default, this operation (and the POST, PATCH, and complete task operations) returns date-related properties in UTC. You can use the Prefer: outlook.timezone header to have all the date-related properties in the response represented in a time zone different than UTC. See an example for getting a single task. You can apply the header similarly to get multiple tasks.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet
✅	✅	✅	❌
