Hey @vnuggu,

I guess you need to be a bit more specific on what you would like to fetch here.
Are you looking for all user task instances for a specific process definition?
You could use the following API to fetch something like that:
https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.13/reference/rest/task/get-query/

You can limit the set of tasks by process definition using any of processDefinitionId, processDefinitionKey, processDefinitionKeyIn, processDefinitionName and processDefinitionNameLike.

Hope that helps,
Tobias

hi @aravindhrs/@tmetzke,

Thanks for your responses!

To be specific we want to display all the task/subprocess names in our UI.

For example, take a recruiting workflow as below and how could we retrieve stage names using Camunda APIs:

@vnuggu
That is basically how you want to fetch all your active task is your query as per my understadning.

Refer to below documentation, for all task-related activities
https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.13/reference/rest/task/get-query/

With this URL: localhost:8085/engine-rest/task
you will get all the active tasks, filter the tasks based on query parameters as per your requirement.
