Unable to get list of completed todos in a project

[zcjhnsn]

I am trying to get a list of all completed todos in a project.

When running the following, the cli always returns 0 todos:

basecamp todos list -p <project-id> --completed

Same goes for using --status completed instead of the shorthand.

The recordings command would be helpful, but there's no completed field, just status: active

basecamp recordings todos -p <project-id> -j

I'm able to get the list of completed todos right now but it is a two step process:

1. call the above recordings command
2. loop through all todo ids and call basecamp todo show <todo_id> for each todo

It would be immensely helpful if either (or both!) of these commands respected the --completed flag or returned the completion status.

Thanks for the hard work on the cli!

Thanks for the detailed report — your diagnosis was spot on.

Root cause: The CLI was mapping --completed (and --status completed) to ?status=completed on the API request. But the Basecamp API's status parameter only accepts active|archived|trashed — completion is a separate ?completed=true parameter. So the server ignored the unrecognized status and returned incomplete todos, which a client-side filter then stripped out entirely, leaving 0 results.

Fixed in #456, which routes the completion filter through the correct completed=true query parameter.

Verified against a real project on current main:

• basecamp todos list -p <id> --completed → returns completed todos ✅
• basecamp todos list -p <id> --status completed → returns completed todos ✅

Both forms now work as expected. Closing as fixed — thanks again for the report and the kind words!
