Hi,
I think you want to see the task details, right?
If so, you can use - POST api/enterprise/tasks/query with a request body like {"processDefinitionId": "TestProcess:1:2504","state":"active","processInstanceId":"40026" } and if you want to see the already completed tasks for this process, you can change the parameter 'state' from active to completed.

I hope this helps.
Thanks.

Hi,

I see there is a difference between Opensource REST response and the Enterprise REST response:
api/enterprise/process-instances/{processInstanceId}

api/runtime/process-instances/{processInstanceId}

Opensource (/runtime) response contains the activityId:, but enterprise (/enterprise) version doesn't.

Its confusing to understand the difference between Opensource and Enterprise version REST API.

Thanks.

It's actually pretty easy: the OSS REST API is fully there, but it should mostly be used for people that have already built stuff on the OSS API.
Otherwise, the enterprise (under api/enterprise) is the way to go?
