Filtering tasks

Querying the get tasks endpoint returns all tasks that have not been deleted. This unfiltered list may be difficult to parse in large projects.

This guide shows you how to use query parameters to filter tasks and obtain a more readable list of asynchronous operations.

• a command-line terminal
• a running Meilisearch project

Use the get tasks endpoint to fetch all canceled tasks:

curl \
  -X GET 'http://localhost:7700/tasks?statuses=failed'

Use a comma to separate multiple values and fetch both canceled and failed tasks:

curl \
  -X GET 'http://localhost:7700/tasks?statuses=failed,canceled'

You may filter tasks based on uid, status, type, indexUid, canceledBy, or date. Consult the API reference for a full list of task filtering parameters.

Use the ampersand character (&) to combine filters, equivalent to a logical AND:

curl \
  -X GET 'http://localhost:7700/tasks?indexUids=movies&types=documentAdditionOrUpdate,documentDeletion&statuses=processing'

This code sample returns all tasks in the movies index that have the type documentAdditionOrUpdate or documentDeletion and have the status of processing.
