The ‘Tasks Ready’ endpoint is designed to provide you with the list of completed tasks, which haven’t been collected yet. If you use the Standard method without specifying the postback_url, you can receive the list of id for all completed tasks using this endpoint. Then, you can collect the results using the ‘Task GET’ endpoint.
Learn more about task completion and obtaining a list of completed tasks in this help center article.
Note: due to the peculiarities of our architecture the queue of completed tasks is updated with a small delay, which can be an issue for high-volume users. If your system requires collecting over 1000 tasks a minute, we recommend using pingbacks/postbacks instead, and applying the Tasks Ready endpoint only to obtain the IDs of failed postback tasks.

The above command returns JSON structured like this:
You can obtain a list of completed tasks for the selected search engine (replace $se with a search engine name).
To obtain a list of completed Merchant API tasks, use the following endpoint:
Each separate task will remain on the list until it is collected. You can make up to 20 API calls per minute. With each API call, you can get 1000 tasks completed within three previous days. The list will not contain the tasks which have already been collected and the tasks that were not collected within the three days after completion.
Please note that if you specify the postback_url, the task will not be in the list of completed tasks. The task can only be found in the list if the request to your server failed, and your server returned HTTP code response less than 200 or higher than 300.
As a response of the API server, you will receive JSON-encoded data containing a tasks array with the information specific to the set tasks.
