Is there a way to see in the api if a task is bilable? #381

I'm using /api/v8/ to get Tasks but i am not able to find the property which shows whether the Task is supposed to be billable. In other words, if the task has te $ or not. see screenshot

The short answer to your question is that you can determine if a Task if Billable by looking at the Project for that Task.

Your screenshot shows Time Entries, which can be billable (see billable property https://github.com/toggl/toggl_api_docs/blob/master/chapters/time_entries.md, also see is_billable property if using the Report API https://github.com/toggl/toggl_api_docs/blob/master/reports/detailed.md).

Tasks do not have a Billable property. However, tasks are associated to Projects. Projects have a Billable property, which sets the default Billable value of all Time Entries created under that project (see "Billable" property https://github.com/toggl/toggl_api_docs/blob/master/chapters/projects.md). Regardless of the Project Billable property setting, the Billable property on Time Entries in that Project can be changed.
