How can you get the subtasks using the Asana REST API? - asana

Last week Asana anounced the new sub tasks capability (http://blog.asana.com/2012/10/introducing-asana-subtasks/). Does anyone know how to access subtasks using the REST api? They are not documented at http://developer.asana.com/documentation
When I emailed Asana api-support, they said to ask the question here! ...not sure what that is about.

You can use the tasks API to get a list of the subtasks, e.g.
https://app.asana.com/api/1.0/tasks/2139407382883/subtasks
and then use the subtask IDs you get back with the tasks API. That is, a subtask is treated as a bono fide task by the API.

Microsoft Graph API batch request with dependencies?

Can I make several requests batched that rely on each other? For example, get the recent items and get the embed link for each of them. The second request relies on the first because it requires the ID of the item to get the link.
Is that even possible?
Thanks
I don't think is possible in Microsoft Graph today but I encourage you to submit a UserVoice feature request at https://microsoftgraph.uservoice.com/forums/920506-microsoft-graph-feature-requests?category_id=359563

Export tasks with Comments from Asana

I want to export all the details from Asana i.e all workspaces, its projects and all tasks along with the comments. I tried exporting in Asana but I could only get the tasks without comments.
Is there any way we can export all the tasks with the comments either through Asana developer APIs or any other third party tools/modules available?
[Full disclosure: I work at Asana :-)]
First off, there's a full-workspace export feature for premium organizations (https://asana.com/guide/help/faq/security#sts=Export)
But assuming you're looking for programming help (which is what stackoverflow is for), check out the documentation of the API, especially the documentation on comments aka stories. You can fetch the comment thread for a task, but it will obviously take a while to make all the calls if you have many tasks.
You can use bridge24.com/asana This product allows you to connect your asana account and see all your tasks and export them to Excel. In the exported file, you have a sheet for the tasks and also a sheet for the comments.

Build custom query to retrieve tasks using asana api

I am using asana api to retrieve tasks to build a dashboard. For that I need to build custom query like retrieving tasks within a date range or due_on 'some date' etc.
Is there anyway to achieve this using asana api? or any other alternative?
If not when can we expect this feature added to asana api?
Thanks in advance,
We plan to offer a Search API (which would let you query tasks in a similar way to the search tool in-product, though it may actually expose a few more tricks), but there's no ETA on that just yet.

Possible to add attendee via api?

Prior to making an elance job ad, I'm hoping to confirm it's possible to add an attendee to an event via the eventbrite api. As a non-programmer it's not at all clear in reading the dev eventbrite site that this is in fact possible. Here is what I want to do:
Create an event in Eventbrite
(and get the event id or whatever is needed)
Create a product in Infusionsoft
(using event id from eventbrite)
Upon product sale in Infusionsoft, make an http post with information similar to:
http://eventbrite-api-sample.com/ (add attendee command)?(event id command)?(customer name, email, etc)
Happily let eventbrite do it's thing in regards to reminders, checking, followup!
I apologize if my question is obvious! Thanks for any help! If this seems doable my hope is to make an elance job ad and provide the developer resource page for eventbrite!

Based on my research and attempts to work with the API, it seems unlikely Eventbrite will ever open up that option. Importing attendees and using API to add attendees is crippled, likely so that no one uses their own site/payment processing to circumvent Eventbrite fees.
It looks like this is not possible to create a new attendee through the API. Their workflow page also suggests this:
http://developer.eventbrite.com/doc/workflows/#orders
This is not currently a feature available through the API, but there is an option to add attendees manually through the UI. Instructions are here: http://help.eventbrite.com/customer/en_us/portal/articles/428370-add-attendees-manually

Tasks and Box API

Does anyone know if there are any plans to add tasks to the api? Like the ability to add or complete tasks? Attach tasks to documents?
Thanks and cheers,
Chad
Yes, there are plans to add tasks to the V2 API. It is not part of our short list to get the V2 API to GA status, but will probably come shortly afterwards.
If you have specific uses for tasks that you'd be willing to share with us, you can let us know more details via email at api at Box dot com.
