Create tasks on websites
Logs the same task on each website you list in sites, up to 50. Use it to record work such as “renewed the SSL certificate” on every website it touched. One task is created for each website.
Websites that cannot be processed are reported in meta.skipped, each with a reason_code and a message, and do not fail the call. Only a website your token cannot reach is skipped (PERMISSION_DENIED, with a null site_name), because a task does not need a connected website. When every website was skipped, the answer is 200 with an empty list instead of 201.
Attached files are moved onto the first task created. Every other task receives its own copy a few seconds later. A file that could not be attached is reported in meta.warnings and does not fail the call. The answer does not include the attachments: read a task with “Retrieve a task” and include=files to see them.
Your role must be allowed to create tasks; without it the request answers 404.
