#### get\_tasks

```python theme={"dark"}
def get_tasks(
    *,
    assignee: Union[List[str], str, None] = None,
    data_hash: Union[List[UUID], UUID, List[str], str, None] = None,
    dataset_hash: Union[List[UUID], UUID, List[str], str, None] = None,
    data_title: Optional[str] = None,
    status: Union[AnnotationTaskStatus, List[AnnotationTaskStatus],
                  None] = None
) -> Iterable[AnnotationTask]
```

Retrieves tasks for the AnnotationStage.

**Parameters**

* `assignee` (Union\[List\[str], str, None]): A list of user emails or a single user email to filter tasks by assignee.
* `data_hash` (Union\[List\[UUID], UUID, List\[str], str, None]): A list of data unit UUIDs or a single data unit UUID to filter tasks by data hash.
* `dataset_hash` (Union\[List\[UUID], UUID, List\[str], str, None]): A list of dataset UUIDs or a single dataset UUID to filter tasks by dataset hash.
* `data_title` (Optional\[str]): A string to filter tasks by data title.
* `status` (Optional\[AnnotationTaskStatus | List\[AnnotationTaskStatus]]): A status or a list of statuses to filter tasks by their status.

**Returns**
