TotalPageCountinteger

Number of pages for the whole result with your pageSize. Keep calling with page + 1 until you have read them all.

ReturnProjectTaskFlat[]

Response<ProjectTaskFlat>: one page; IsReturnPaged = true, TotalPageCount = -1; 'Successfully called' message. ResponseState Success, empty Return - also for an unknown projectGuid.

Example response

Errors

All errors come back with HTTP 200: check ResponseState, ErrorCode and Messages. The errors every operation can return (expired or invalid token, API not enabled, HTTPS required, general errors) are listed once in Responses and errors.

This operation has no errors of its own beyond the shared ones.
