Use this API to interact with to-do items.

List all to-do items

The availability of the rate limit is controlled by a feature flag. For more information, see the history.

Lists all to-do items. When no filter is applied, it returns all pending to-do items for the current user. Different filters allow the user to refine the request.

This endpoint is rate limited for each user. The default is 300 requests every minute, configurable with the todos_list_api_limit application setting. Set the limit to 0 to turn it off. After you reach the limit, you receive 429 Too Many Requests.
