Get a Schedule Baseline (Detailed)

Returns a detailed representation of a specific schedule baseline in your ConstructionOnline company account

get https://api.constructiononline.com/api/baselines/ID={ID}&detailed=true

This endpoint allows users to obtain a single baseline for a specific schedule in their ConstructionOnline company account. The baseline's ID is stored in the baseline property ID. If a baseline in the user's company account matches the provided ID, information about the baseline will be returned—specifically, the baseline's ID, name, creation date, and all schedule tasks/groups captured within the baseline. 

This endpoint returns a detailed representation of the tasks/groups within the schedule baseline. In addition to the basic properties returned in the compact endpoint (NAME, START_TIME, END_TIME, TYPE, TYPE_NAME), this endpoint will return other properties such as ASAP, COMPLETED, CREATED_BY, and more for each schedule task and group.
