Direct API calls

# Note: API requires all fields including id, completed, labels, etc.
curl -X POST "$TASKTROVE_HOST/api/v1/tasks" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "id": "<uuid>",
    "title": "Task title",
    "priority": 4,

    "recurringMode": "dueDate"
  }'

Complete/Update Task

  -d '{"id": "<task-id>", "completed": true}'
