Hi @waghanza,

Unfortunately, we don’t have the sort of filtering in our API where you can query to a subset of tasks that match an arbitrary pattern that you specify (i.e. “only the tasks where `completed=true`”). We also don’t have an easy way to only get the completed tasks. You can get all _incomplete_ tasks fairly easily by specifying `completed_since=now` on the [tasks query](https://asana.com/developers/api-reference/tasks#query) endpoint - which is admittedly a bit strange, but works - but its converse (get only completed tasks) doesn’t exist 😕

We are evaluating use cases for this sort of thing, though, so you might see it at some point! For now, however, the only way to go about this is to get all the tasks and filter out the incomplete ones on your side.
