You can debug this API through automatic authentication in API Explorer or use the SDK sample code generated by API Explorer.

URI

GET /v5/iot/{project_id}/batchtasks/{task_id}

**Table 1** Path Parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
task_id	Yes	String	Parameter description: batch task ID. It is allocated by the platform during batch task creation. Value: The value can contain a maximum of 24 characters. Only lowercase letters a to f and digits are allowed.
project_id	Yes	String	Parameter description: project ID. For details about how to obtain the project ID, see Obtaining a Project ID.

**Table 2** Query Parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
task_detail_status	No	String	Parameter description: Indicates the execution status of a subtask. This parameter is optional. Options: Success: The task is executed. Fail: The task execution failed. Processing: The task is being executed. FailWaitRetry: The task is waiting for retry after execution failure. Stopped: The task is stopped. Waitting: The task is waiting to be executed. Removed: The task is removed.
target	No	String	Parameter description: Indicates the target of a batch operation. When task_type is set to firmwareUpgrade, softwareUpgrade, deleteDevices, freezeDevices, unfreezeDevices, createCommands, createAsyncCommands, createMessages, or updateDeviceShadows, set this parameter to device_id. Value: The value can contain a maximum of 128 characters. Only letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-) are allowed.
limit	No	Integer	Parameter description: number of records to display on each page. Value: The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 50. The default value is 10.
marker	No	String	Parameter description: ID of the last record in the previous query. The value is returned by the platform during the previous query. Records are queried in descending order of record IDs (the marker value). A newer record will have a larger ID. If marker is specified, only the records whose IDs are smaller than marker are queried. If marker is not specified, the query starts from the record with the largest ID, that is, the latest record. If all data needs to be queried in sequence, this parameter must be filled with the value of marker returned in the last query response each time. Value: The value is a string of 24 hexadecimal characters. The default value is ffffffffffffffffffffffff.
offset	No	Integer	Parameter description: If offset is set to N, the query starts from the N+1 record after the last record in the previous query. The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 500. The default value is 0. If offset is set to 0, the output starts from the first record after the last record in the previous query. To ensure API performance, you can use this parameter together with marker to turn pages. For example, if there are 50 records on each page, you can directly specify offset to jump to the specified page within page 1 and 11. If you want to view records displayed on pages 12 to 22, you need to use the marker value returned on page 11 as the marker value for the next query. Value: The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 500. The default value is 0.

Request Parameters

**Table 3** Request header parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
X-Auth-Token	No	String	Parameter description: user token. You can obtain the token by calling the IAM API Obtaining a User Token Through Password Authentication. X-Subject-Token in the response header returned by the API is the desired user token. For details about how to obtain the token, see Token Authentication.
Instance-Id	No	String	Parameter description: instance ID. Unique identifier of each instance in the physical multi-tenant scenario. Mandatory for professional editions and recommended in other cases. Log in to the IoTDA console and choose Overview in the navigation pane to view the instance ID. For details, see Viewing Instance Details.

Options: softwareUpgrade: software upgrade task firmwareUpgrade: firmware upgrade task createDevices: batch device creation task deleteDevices: batch device deletion task freezeDevices: batch device freezing task unfreezeDevices: batch device unfreezing task createCommands: task for creating synchronous commands in batches createAsyncCommands: task for creating asynchronous commands in batches createMessages: batch message creation task updateDeviceShadows: task for configuring device shadows in batch updateDevices: batch device update task
task_mode	String	Parameter description: batch task mode. Currently, only the gateway mode is supported. This parameter is supported when task_type is set to firmwareUpgrade or softwareUpgrade. In the software/firmware upgrade scenario, if the device to be upgraded is a child device of a gateway, the version information obtaining notification and upgrade notification delivered by the IoT platform carry task_id (ID of the software/firmware upgrade batch task) and sub_device_count (number of child devices to be upgraded in a batch task). Value: GATEWAY (gateway mode).
task_ext_info	Object	Parameter description: extended information of batch tasks This parameter is supported when task_type is set to firmwareUpgrade or softwareUpgrade. In the software/firmware upgrade scenario, this parameter is carried in the version information obtaining notification and upgrade notification delivered by the IoT platform. Value: a maximum of 512 characters.
targets	Array of strings	Batch task targets. When task_type is set to firmwareUpgrade, softwareUpgrade, deleteDevices, freezeDevices, unfreezeDevices, createCommands, createAsyncCommands, createMessages, or updateDeviceShadows, set this parameter to a device ID list.
targets_filter	Map<String,Object>	Parameters for filtering task targets. The value is in JSON format (key-value pairs). Supported filter key is group_ids and its value is a list of group IDs, for example, ["e495cf17-ff79-4294-8f64-4d367919d665"]. Devices matching the filter will become the task targets.
