# Check Job

Not all our APIs are synchronous, usually a potentially long-running process will be handled by a job. To check whether job is finished or to get any other information, use this query.

* Query: [getJob](https://docs.datasaur.ai/#query-getJob)
* Input: `$jobId: string`
* Response: [Job](https://docs.datasaur.ai/#definition-Job)

### **Example Request via cURL**

```javascript
curl --location --request POST 'https://app.datasaur.ai/graphql' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <access_token>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{"operationName":"AutoLabelTokenBasedProjectMutation","variables":{"input":{"labelerEmail":"demo@datasaur.ai","options":{"numberOfFilesPerRequest":0,"serviceProvider":"CUSTOM"},"projectId":"HvdyIL2iwZn","targetAPI":{"endpoint":"https://custom-model.api.com/predict","secretKey":"secret"}}},"query":"mutation AutoLabelTokenBasedProjectMutation($input: AutoLabelTokenBasedProjectInput!) {  result: autoLabelTokenBasedProject(input: $input) {    id  status  progress  }}"}'
```

Below is the more readable version of request body from cURL command above.

```javascript
{
    "operationName": "GetJobQuery",
    "variables": {
        "jobId": "AutoLabelQueue:dcbf6ed3-3841-46c1-8f6a-2affb53ac637"
    },
    "query": "query GetJobQuery($jobId: String!) {  result: getJob(jobId: $jobId) {    id  status  progress  }}"
}
```

* **operationName**: you can fill any alphanumeric string in as the operationName. GetJobQuery is fine as a default. Refer [this page](https://graphql.org/learn/queries/#operation-name) to structure operationName properly.
* **query:** Copy it from cURL example.

### Example Response

Here is the response when you execute the cURL command above.

```javascript
{
    "data": {
        "result": {
            "id": "AutoLabelQueue:dcbf6ed3-3841-46c1-8f6a-2affb53ac637",
            "status": "DELIVERED",
            "progress": 0
        }
    },
    "extensions": {}
}
```

If the status is already **DELIVERED**, then the job is finished.
