# Task APIs

**Base URL:** `/api/v1/tasks`

These endpoints allow callers to poll the status of asynchronous operations initiated by any Guardian `/push` endpoint, returning the task state, progress, and result or error detail.

**Authentication:** All endpoints require a valid JWT Bearer token (`Authorization: Bearer <token>`). Obtain a token via `POST /accounts/login`.
