I have a usecase, wherein I want to fetch the Tasks from Task Table, and take some action on them.

Is there some API exposed by Flowable that can help in interacting with the Task Table?

Fetching data directly by running sql query on my db seems cubersome.

Can someone please help?

@Mahima If you need REST API you will find docs to task related methods here: [REST API · Flowable Open Source Documentation](https://www.flowable.com/open-source/docs/bpmn/ch15-REST#tasks)  
If you mean engine API you need to check TaskService object: [The Flowable API · Flowable Open Source Documentation](https://www.flowable.com/open-source/docs/bpmn/ch04-API)
