Get job status

Overview

Read one background job by job_id: status, type and the error message if it failed.

A successful HTTP response can mean that a request was accepted rather than completed. For background work, save the returned ID and check the same operation until it finishes. A scheduled or accepted post is published only when the platform confirms it; a client timeout does not establish the result.

Authentication and permissions

Accepted credential classes

user_session, delegated_oauth, personal_access_token

Delegated capability

agent:operate

Minimum workspace role

No workspace-role minimum in this contract; ownership and grant checks still apply.

Access scope

Resources this user is authorized to access

All-workspace consent required

No

Changes state

No

When the operation is complete

synchronous_http_response

A token can use only the rights held by its owner. Each request checks workspace membership, resource ownership, selected workspaces and granted capabilities. Core and full profiles change which tools are displayed; they do not grant access.

Request fields

Required means required inside its parent object and selected branch. A required child does not make an optional parent required. Rules and field names below are copied from the contract.

Response and completion

Success HTTP statuses: 200. When the operation is complete: synchronous_http_response.

Errors and safe retries

Check the HTTP status and response body. A 400 validation error may contain a ZodError; handler errors use error, message and code fields. Keep request_id or x-request-id for diagnosis, without credentials. Fix 401/403 access errors before retrying, and follow Retry-After for 429. If a write is uncertain or returns 5xx, read the existing result first. Reuse an idempotency key only where supported; retry behaviour varies by operation and does not guarantee exactly-once delivery.

Examples

These examples use fictional values checked against the schemas. Replace the IDs with ones you are authorized to use, the media with ready assets and the dates with your confirmed publishing time. Check the account’s eligibility before submitting a write. This page sends no API requests.

Set SOSOAPI_ACCESS_TOKEN on your server to a credential accepted by this operation, and keep it out of browser code. For an agent, use sosoapi auth login to sign in through the browser and let the CLI refresh its credentials.
