The Extract Tasks endpoint returns task data from Microsoft Project files in JSON format. This includes details such as task names, durations, start and end dates, dependencies, and resource assignments, allowing for comprehensive project management insights.
Key fields in the response data include `id`, `uniqueId`, `name`, `duration`, `start`, `finish`, `percentageComplete`, and `resourceAssignments`. These fields provide essential information for tracking and managing project tasks.
The response data is organized as an array of task objects, each containing multiple attributes. Each task object includes fields like `id`, `name`, `start`, and `finish`, allowing users to easily access and manipulate task information.
The Extract Tasks endpoint provides information on task names, durations, start and finish dates, dependencies, resource assignments, and task types. This comprehensive data supports effective project planning and execution.
Users can customize their data requests by specifying the MPP file URL in the API request. This allows for targeted extraction of task data relevant to specific projects, enhancing the utility of the API.
For example, `duration` indicates the total time allocated for a task, while `percentageComplete` shows the progress of the task. Understanding these fields helps users assess project status and resource allocation.
Typical use cases include integrating task data into project management software, generating reports for analytics, synchronizing tasks across tools, and creating custom dashboards for project visibility.
Data accuracy is maintained through standardized extraction processes from Microsoft Project files. Regular updates and quality checks ensure that the task data remains reliable and consistent for users.

To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
