Log a call using REST API

I need to "log a call" for an account using REST API.

I can access the account details using REST - that works.

However I am unable to seach for the existing call logs that I created using the SalesForce UI using any REST query. What am I missing?

I understand I need to create a Task object for logging a call.

Once I create a task for the call, how do I associate it with a particular account so that it would show up in the UI in the Account page?

Thanks and would be great if you could point me in the right direction if something like this already exists. Didnt find it and hence thought of posting.

While creating task you can add what id to associate account to the task

Thanks Swati.

Any idea how do I get a list of tasks that are already created using REST?

I beleive I can retrieve task details using "/services/data/v20.0/sobjects/Task/{ID}" once I have the task ID, but how do I get the task IDs for already created tasks (created using Salesforce web UI)?
