--- title: "Get Google Images SERP Completed Tasks" url: "https://docs.dataforseo.com/v3/serp/google/images/tasks_ready/" date: "2026-06-06" --- ## Get Google Images SERP Completed Tasks The **‘Tasks Ready’** endpoint is designed to provide you with the list of completed tasks, which haven’t been collected yet. If you use the Standard method without specifying the `postback_url`, you can receive the list of `id` for all completed tasks using this endpoint. Then, you can collect the results using the **‘Task GET’** endpoint. Learn more about task completion and obtaining a list of completed tasks in [this help center article.](https://dataforseo.com/help-center/completed-tasks) **Note:** due to the peculiarities of our architecture the queue of completed tasks is updated with a small delay, which can be an issue for high-volume users. If your system requires collecting over 1000 tasks a minute, we recommend using [pingbacks/postbacks](https://dataforseo.com/help-center/pingbacks-postbacks-with-dataforseo-api) instead, and applying the Tasks Ready endpoint only to obtain the IDs of failed postback tasks. ![checked](https://docs.dataforseo.com/v3/wp-content/themes/dataforseo/assets/img/icons/checked-circle.svg) GET https://api.dataforseo.com/v3/serp/google/images/tasks\_ready You can obtain a list of completed tasks for the selected search engine (replace `$se` with a search engine name). ![checked](https://docs.dataforseo.com/v3/wp-content/themes/dataforseo/assets/img/icons/checked-circle.svg) GET https://api.dataforseo.com/v3/serp/$se/tasks\_ready To obtain a list of completed SERP API tasks, use the following endpoint: ![checked](https://docs.dataforseo.com/v3/wp-content/themes/dataforseo/assets/img/icons/checked-circle.svg) GET https://api.dataforseo.com/v3/serp/tasks\_ready Pricing Your account is not charged when receiving results Each separate task will remain on the list until it is collected. You can make **up to 20 API calls per minute.** With each API call, you can get 1000 tasks completed within three previous days. The list will not contain the tasks which have already been collected and the tasks that were not collected **within three days** after completion. Please note that if you specify the `postback_url`, the task will not be in the list of completed tasks. The task can only be found in the list if the request to your server failed, and your server returned HTTP code response less than `200` or higher than `300`. As a response of the API server, you will receive [JSON](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON)-encoded data containing a `tasks` array with the information specific to the set tasks. **Description of the fields in the results array:** | Field name | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `version` | string | *the current version of the API* | | `status_code` | integer | *general status code* you can find the full list of the response codes [here](https://docs.dataforseo.com/v3/appendix/errors.md) **Note:** we strongly recommend designing a necessary system for handling related exceptional or error conditions | | `status_message` | string | *general informational message* you can find the full list of general informational messages [here](https://docs.dataforseo.com/v3/appendix/errors.md) | | `time` | string | *execution time, seconds* | | `cost` | float | *total tasks cost, USD* | | `tasks_count` | integer | *the number of tasks in the **`tasks`** array* | | `tasks_error` | integer | *the number of tasks in the **`tasks`** array returned with an error* | | **`tasks`** | array | *array of tasks* | | `id` | string | *task identifier* **unique task identifier in our system in the [UUID](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier) format** | | `status_code` | integer | *status code of the task* generated by DataForSEO;
