Get Job (API) | Dyn Help Center

The GetJob (JOB/ GET in REST) command retrieves the results of another command. This is used for checking jobs that are running for more than the default 5 seconds. This command is special in that its response structure depends on the job being retrieved.

The response looks like any other, including the job_id, msgs, status, and data fields, but the data field will be the type of whatever job was running.

GetJob (JOB/ GET in REST) will return a success if it manages to find the job in question, even if the requested job has returned a failure. This means that no faults will be generated for results retrieved this way. However, GetJob (JOB/ GET in REST) may still throw faults if it can’t find the job in question or other issues arise.
