Complete a Task Step in SDL WorldServer using the REST API

In this article, I would like to present a method for completing an active Task Step in SDL WorldServer using the REST API.

The method takes three parameters:

1. wsBaseUrl
2. token
3. completeTaskStepRequestBody

The wsBaseUrl must be the <serverURL>:<portnumber> where your WorldServer instance is running.

The second parameter is a security token, which can be retrieved by using the SDL WorldServer REST API as explained here.

The third parameter is a CompleteTaskStepRequestBody object containing the data to support the task step completion. This includes the id (task id), the transitionId and an optional comment to set as metadata. The task id and transition id can be retrieved by invoking the REST call described here for retrieving the tasks from a specified Project. The returned TaskDetails object provides the data.

The method returns a boolean value specifying whether the task step completion was successful.
