Good day to all.

I am new to the API and managed to create a project in my workspace, with several tasks, sections, custom fields and tags…

However, the tasks are hidden on completion because the project’s view is on “incomplete tasks” by default, so it seems.

Can this be changes by the API to “all tasks”?

Or is this a setting somewhere in the board?

Thank you.

Not by the API. The Asana API works strictly on a data-model basis; there is no UI element to it.

Yes - you can filter a project so as to view all tasks, incomplete tasks only, or several variations of incomplete plus recently completed tasks - for info on this, see:
