hashmi-masif,

 

If you include parameterValues as an item in your query string that will pull all custom fields on that object (task), if you need that info. 

The approval processes used on an object (tasks, requests, projects, etc.) are much more complicated to pull via the API.  You may have some luck with an approval report with your obj type being task to get a better result.
