Description

Might be related to https://github.com/openml/OpenML/issues/160 or https://github.com/openml/OpenML/issues/451

Some tasks are not listed by task/list api calls. For instance,
https://www.openml.org/api/v1/task/list/tag/study_1
does not list task 1, while
https://www.openml.org/t/1
does have the correct tag and does not seem private or inactive...

I could replicate this behaviour with all kind of task/list filters.

Research direction

Start by comparing the task/list API response for task 1 with the task page and the related issues 160 and 451. Trace how task/list filters select tasks; done means task 1 and other valid tagged, non-private tasks appear consistently across the filters.
