# Discover pipelines and their tasks

Before extending a pipeline, you need to know which one to extend. To make it easier to discover our pipelines, an endpoint is available from the backoffice with the URL `http(s)://{yourdomain}/ucommerce/api/v1.0/pipelines`

{% hint style="info" %}
The endpoint uses [authentication](/readme/backoffice-authentication.md) like the rest of the backoffice.
{% endhint %}

Calling the endpoint will return JSON containing all pipelines that are registered in the service collection of your app with input and output types, namespace, tasks (in order of execution), and the interface each task implements. The result will be grouped by entity and look like this:

```json
"order": [
    {
        "tasksImplement": "IPipelineTask<GetOrderInput, GetOrderOutput>",
        "inputType": "GetOrderInput",
        "name": "GetOrderPipeline",
        "namespace": "Ucommerce.Web.Core.Pipelines.Order.GetOrder",
        "outputType": "GetOrderOutput",
        "tasks": [
            "GetOrderPipelineTask"
        ]
    },
    {
        "tasksImplement": "IPipelineTask<GetOrderNumberInput, GetOrderNumberOutput>",
        "inputType": "GetOrderNumberInput",
        "name": "GetOrderNumberPipeline",
        "namespace": "Ucommerce.Web.Core.Pipelines.Order.GetOrderNumber",
        "outputType": "GetOrderNumberOutput",
        "tasks": [
            "GetOrderNumberPipelineTask"
        ]
    },
    ...more order-related pipelines
],
...more entities
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Using [Postman](https://www.postman.com/) to call the endpoint makes it easy to collapse irrelevant parts of the response or search for the things you need.
{% endhint %}

The endpoint will also reflect your own changes to the app, and will help you know if your custom tasks have been registered correctly, as your pipeline tasks will be shown in the appropriate list after registration.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://dev.ucommerce.net/readme/how-to/discover-pipelines-and-their-tasks.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
