How to add a task to Bitrix via API?

Question

API

There is a Bitrix24 box, there is a certain service on Rails. It is necessary that it is possible to somehow add tasks to Bitrix24 from the rail via the API. In which direction to dig? As I understand it, REST is supported only in the cloud, but for a corporate portal you need to dig towards SOAP? Or is it easier to write your own separate script that will insert data directly into the database?

Answer 1

There is no need to contact the database, there is an API:

Answer 2

Now that's exactly what I'm doing - creating tasks through the API. Here is my recent code for creating a task and attaching files to it.

if (CModule::IncludeModule("tasks"))
{
    $arFields = Array(
        "TITLE" => $DATA["APPEND_FIELDS"]["Тема"], 
        "DESCRIPTION" => $DATA['REQTEXT'],
        "RESPONSIBLE_ID" => $DATA['RESPONSIBLE'], //ответственный по задаче
        "GROUP_ID" => 14 //в какую группу добавляем
    );
    

    $obTask = new CTasks;
    $task_ID = $obTask->Add($arFields);
    if($task_ID>0)
    {
    if(!empty($DATA['FILES'])) 
        {
            //подцепим еще файлы к задаче
            foreach($DATA['FILES'] as $file)
            {
                $arFields = Array(
                    "TASK_ID" => $task_ID,
                    "FILE_ID" => $file
                );

                $obTaskFiles = new CTaskFiles;
                $result = $obTaskFiles->Add($arFields);
                if(!$result)
                    $files_problem=true;          
            }
        }


        return array($ID,$files_problem);
    }
    else
    {
        //if($e = $APPLICATION->GetException())
        return $res;
    }

}
