How to query deleted tasks?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if there was a way to query deleted tasks(which are currently in the Recycling Bin) through the Wrike API.

I found a way to do it, but it might not work very well (ran into internal server error, likely due to huge recycle bin).

Try these following steps:

Create a task and get its v4 id via API (using ID conversion or retrieve task using permalink)
Delete the task
Use the Task API to get the task supplying the v4 Id (GET /tasks/{taskIds})
You will find that the parent folder of this deleted task is ID similar to "IEAC7PTTI7777776", this v4 ID is the recycle bin folder.

Then you can use the Task API (GET /folders/{folderId}/tasks), to retrieve tasks from your recycle bin folder, for example:

https://app-eu.wrike.com/api/v4/folders/IEAC7PTTI7777776/tasks?status=Cancelled&descendants=false

Hope it helps!
