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 the properties and relationships of an Outlook task 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.
Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.
