Using this method, you can retrieve the results after our system collects them. <\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can specify <code>pingback_url<\/code> or <code>postback_url<\/code> when setting a task, and we will notify you on completion of tasks or send them to you respectively.<\/p>\n<p>If you do not specify <code>pingback_url<\/code> or <code>postback_url<\/code>, you can receive the list of <code>id<\/code> for all completed tasks using the &#8216;Tasks Ready&#8217; endpoint. It is designed to provide you with the list of completed tasks, which haven&#8217;t been collected yet. Then, you can retrieve the results using the <strong>\u2018Task GET\u2019<\/strong> endpoint.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about task completion and obtaining a list of completed tasks in <a href=\"https:\/\/dataforseo.com\/help-center\/completed-tasks\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">this help center article.<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>You can send up to 2000 API calls per minute.
