After a task is successfully executed or has exhausted its retry attempts, the task is deleted. A tasks.get request for a deleted task returns a NOT_FOUND error.
HTTP request
GET https://cloudtasks.googleapis.com/v2/{name=projects/*/locations/*/queues/*/tasks/*}
The responseView specifies which subset of the Task will be returned.
By default responseView is BASIC; not all information is retrieved by default because some data, such as payloads, might be desirable to return only when needed because of its large size or because of the sensitivity of data that it contains.
Authorization for FULL requires cloudtasks.tasks.fullViewGoogle IAM permission on the Task resource.
Request body
The request body must be empty.
Response body
If successful, the response body contains an instance of Task.
