1There is nothing like a full list of German verbs, so there also can't be a subset for verbs that take akkusativ object. German is a living language. Some verbs become extinct (volvieren, dünken, maledeien) and some other verbs suddenly appear that never before was part of German Wortschatz (barfen, dissen, zappen). Not to forget verbs like twittern, googeln, whatsappen. So, the set of German verbs is changing all the time. You never will be able to get complete list of all of them.– Hubert SchölnastAug 30, 2018 at 7:02

I'm not exactly sure why people always ask for full lists of verbs (do you have a full dictionary of German?) ...
One way to get a list is through the dictionary of verb valence, https://grammis.ids-mannheim.de/verbvalenz. Select Kakk (accusative complement) on the left and click "Search". This will give you a list of verbs for which a meaning exists in which the verb can be used with an accusative complement (~ object). (If you check "verbspezifische Suche", it will list each verb only once). By chosing specific sentence structures (Satzbaupläne) on the left, you can further narrow down your results, say, to verbs with a meaning where an accusative complement is required (for that, you would need to go through all entries that include Kakk [where the Kakk is not in parantheses because that indicates optionality]).
The dictionary dictionary of verb valence is not that comprehensive as yet but it may still be a starting point :).

1Der erste Satz ist der wichtigste. Hier könntest du noch ergänzen, dass die meisten deutschen Verben ein Akkusativ-Objekt fordern. Das würde unterstreichen, dass es die "full list" hierfür nahezu nicht geben kann.– IQVAug 30, 2018 at 5:46
