Job Result

Retrieve the status and results of your data extraction jobs. Jobs from Autogenerate Extraction Config are retrieved the same way; their result format is described on that page. Use this endpoint to check processing progress and download your extracted data once complete.

GET /job-result

Overview

After submitting a file for extraction, use the returned job ID to periodically check the processing status. Once complete, this endpoint returns your structured data in a clean, organized format.

Polling Best Practices

• Wait at least 10 seconds before your first status check
• Use exponential backoff: start with 2-second intervals, increasing to 5-10 seconds
• Most jobs complete within 30 seconds
