I need to export all Asana tasks within specific projects of my workspace to a csv file. I have been doing this manually via Asana's advanced search but the Asana generated csv file only supports < 2000 entries which no longer suits my needs. The following code (which I found online and slightly adapted) almost does what I want except I need an additional ‘Tags’ column (just like the Asana generated csv file has) displaying a comma-separated list of each task’s tags. I need the names of the tags not the tag IDs. I have basic knowledge of Python but I don't have experience of APIs so this really is beyond my capabilities. I would be extremely grateful if someone could help. Here is the relevant bit of the code:
import sys
import csv
import asana
def process_project_tasks(client, project, ws_dict):
"""Add each task for the current project to the records list."""
task_list = []
while True:
tasks = client.tasks.find_by_project(project['id']
{"opt_fields":"name, projects, workspace, id, due_on, created_at,
modified_at, completed, completed_at, assignee, assignee_status, parent,
notes"})
for task in tasks:
ws_name = ws_dict[task['workspace']['id']]
assignee = task['assignee']['id'] if task['assignee'] is not
None else ''
created_at = task['created_at'][0:10] + ' ' +
task['created_at'][11:16] if \
task['created_at'] is not None else None
modified_at = task['modified_at'][0:10] + ' ' +
task['modified_at'][11:16] if \
task['modified_at'] is not None else None
completed_at = task['completed_at'][0:10] + ' ' +
task['completed_at'][11:16] if \
task['completed_at'] is not None else None
rec = [task['name'], project['name'], ws_name,task['due_on'],
created_at, \
modified_at, task['completed'], completed_at, assignee, \
task['assignee_status'], task['parent'], task['notes'],
task['id']]
rec = ['' if s is None else s for s in rec]
task_list.append(rec)
if 'next_page' not in tasks:
break
return task_list
I worked out how to add the tags. You just need to add 'tags' as one of the 'opt_fields'. If you just do that it is not possible to get the names of the tags so you need to change 'opt_fields' to 'opt_expand' then created a comma-separated list of each task's tag name.
def process_project_tasks(client, project, ws_dict):
"""Add each task for the current project to the records list."""
while True:
tasks = client.tasks.find_by_project(project['gid'], {"opt_expand":"name, \
projects, workspace, gid, due_on, created_at, modified_at, completed, \
completed_at, assignee, assignee_status, parent, notes, tags"})
for task in tasks:
ws_name = ws_dict[task['workspace']['gid']]
#get a comma-separated list of the names of each tag
tags = task['tags']
if tags is not None:
tagname=''
i=0
for tag in tags:
if i==0:
tagname = tag['name']
else:
tagname = tagname + ', ' + tag['name']
i=i+1
assignee = task['assignee']['gid'] if task['assignee'] is not None else
''
created_at = task['created_at'][0:10] + ' ' + task['created_at'][11:16]
if \
task['created_at'] is not None else None
modified_at = task['modified_at'][0:10] + ' ' + task['modified_at']
[11:16] if \
task['modified_at'] is not None else None
completed_at = task['completed_at'][0:10] + ' ' + task['completed_at']
[11:16] if \
task['completed_at'] is not None else None
rec = [task['name'], project['name'], ws_name, task['due_on'],
created_at, \
modified_at, task['completed'], completed_at, assignee, \
task['assignee_status'], task['parent'], task['notes'], task['gid'],
tags]
rec = ['' if s is None else s for s in rec]
task_list.append(rec)
if 'next_page' not in tasks:
break
return task_list
