InfluxDB

InfluxDB Tasks API

Process and analyze your data with [tasks](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/reference/glossary/#task) in the InfluxDB task engine. Use the `/api/v2/tasks` endpoints to schedule and manage tasks, retry task runs, and retrieve run logs. To configure a task, provide the script and the schedule to run the task. For examples, see how to create a task with the [`POST /api/v2/tasks` endpoint](#operation/PostTasks). ### Properties A `task` object contains information about an InfluxDB task resource. The following table defines the properties that appear in this object: ### Related guides - [Get started with tasks](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/process-data/get-started/) - [Common data processing tasks](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/process-data/common-tasks/) - [Create a script](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/api-guide/api-invokable-scripts/#create-an-invokable-script)
