Get task's Data

// URL of the Pyramid installation and the path to the API 2.0 REST methods
var pyramidURL = "http://mysite.com/api2/";

// step 1: authenticate admin account and get token
// NOTE: callApi method is a generic REST method shown below.
let token = callApi("auth/authenticateUser",{
	"data":{
		"userName":"adminUser",
		"password":"abc123!"
	}
},false);
log("got token "+token);

// step 2: get all the schedules in the system based on name search
let findSchedule= callApi("tasks/findSchedule ",{
	"searchCriteria": {
		"searchCriteria":{
			"searchValue":"My Demo Schedule",
			"searchMatchType":2
		},
		"scheduleType":1
	},
	"auth": token
});

// step 3: extract the schedule ID property from the returned schedule that matches "My Demo Schedule"
let scheduleId = findSchedule.data[0].scheduleId

// step 4: launch a run of the chosen schedule now, without triggers
let runSchedule = callApi("tasks/runSchedule ",{
	"data":{"scheduleId": scheduleId,"checkTriggers":"false"},
	"auth": token
});

if(runSchedule.error!=null){
	throw new Error(runSchedule.error);
}
				
				

// step 5A: OPTIONAL: get details to check running status of scheduled event. First, get execution ID
let executionId=runSchedule.data;
				
//stet 5B: get execution item's status. 
let taskData= callApi("tasks/getScheduleExecutionStatus ",{
	"executionId": executionId,
	"auth": token
});
log("executionId status is "+executionStatus[taskData.data.status]);

//step 5C: check status every 3 seconds
if(taskData.data.status!=1){
	setTimeout(getStatus,3000);
}
			
				
////############ alternative approach #################
//step 6a: get task items in that execution. 
let tasks= callApi("tasks/getTasksIds ",{
	"executionId": executionId,
	"auth": token
});

//step 6B: get the ID of the single task in that execution. 
let taskId = tasks.data[0].id
log("got task "+taskId);

//step 6C: get status of the task. 
getStatus();



function getStatus(){

	});
	log("task status is "+taskData.data.status);

////############ other methods #################

//step 7: pause the schedule
let suspend= callApi("tasks/suspendSchedule",{
	"scheduleId": scheduleId,
	"auth": token
});

//step 8: restart the schedule
let resume= callApi("tasks/resumeSchedule",{
