GET
Get a job, optionally waiting for a change
With wait_seconds (<= 20) the request returns as soon as the job changes or is terminal, or after the wait; with If-None-Match set to the previous ETag it answers 304 when nothing changed; a terminal job ignores If-None-Match and always answers 200. Non-terminal responses carry Retry-After (the type’s poll hint). Status is monotonic. Finished jobs can be read for 90 days, then answer 404 job_not_found. When to use: to wait for any 202 job: loop wait_seconds=20 until succeeded, failed or canceled; never poll faster than Retry-After. When estimated_finish_at is minutes away, keep the job id and check back later. Then read result (links minted at read time) or error. Side effects: None. Cost: Free. About 10 concurrent waits per key and 50 per payer (429 too_many_waiters, policy long-poll). Idempotency: safe and pure (never writes); retry freely. Required scopes: jobs:read Errors: too_many_waiters (429)

Authorizations

Authorization
string
header
required

API key from Settings -> API keys, sent as Authorization: Bearer <key> (SDK environment variable RASK_API_KEY). Bound to one workspace and one acting user. Operations list the scopes they need (OpenAPI 3.1 scopes on a bearer scheme).

Scopes

jobs:read

Headers

If-None-Match
string

The job's previous ETag (opaque; it changes when the job's status, stage, progress, result or error changes, and when the job passes estimated_finish_at or turns overdue; queue_position, a localization job's stages and an on-screen job's details can change without it): with wait_seconds the request returns when the job differs from it, else 304. A terminal job ignores it and always answers 200.

Maximum string length: 128

Path Parameters

job_id
string
required

Job id (from a 202 response's Location).

Maximum string length: 64

Query Parameters

wait_seconds
integer<int32>
default:0

Hold the request up to this many seconds until the job changes or is terminal (0 = return at once).

Required range: 0 <= x <= 20

Response

OK: Job.

Asynchronous work started through v3, and automatic follow-up work (auto-dub, on-screen auto-start, the stages of a localization run) on projects created through v3. Started by 202 responses (Location: /v3/jobs/{id}); wait with getJob wait_seconds. Finished jobs can be read for 90 days, then answer 404 job_not_found. Work started in the web app or API v2 has no job.

object
enum<string>
required

Always job.

Available options:
job
id
string
required

Job id.

workspace_id
string

Workspace that owns the job (and whose owner pays).

type
enum<string>
required

Job type. Open enum: new types are added over time.

  • media_import: registering uploaded or imported media (poll hint 3 s; cancelable)
  • project_processing: the project pipeline up to translation (poll hint 10 s)
  • translation: retranslating segments (poll hint 5 s)

  • export: rendering an export (poll hint 15 s)
  • file_restore: restoring archived files (poll hint 300 s)
Available options:
media_import,
project_processing,
translation,
segment_generation,
dub,
lipsync,
onscreen,
localization,
voice_clone,
export,
file_restore
status
enum<string>
required

Job status. Monotonic: never goes backwards and never leaves a terminal state.

  • queued: accepted, not started
  • running: in progress
  • succeeded: finished; see result
  • failed: finished; see error
  • canceled: canceled, or its project was deleted (error.code = project_deleted)
Available options:
queued,
running,
succeeded,
failed,
canceled
progress
integer<int32> | null
required

0-100; null when the type has no honest progress.

Required range: 0 <= x <= 100
stage
enum<string> | null
required

Per-type stage; for a localization job, the running stage's.

Available options:
queued,
uploading,
transcribing,
separating_audio,
detecting_speakers,
matching_voices,
translating,
voicing,
merging,
downloading,
extracting_audio,
face_check,
waiting_for_worker,
rendering,
charging,
waiting_for_runner,
starting,
preparing,
checking,
publishing,
cloning,
restoring
queue_position
integer<int32> | null
required

Queue position (1 = next).

estimated_finish_at
string<date-time> | null
required

Estimated completion from the queue position and the type's typical duration (on-screen: the runner's ETA); null when terminal or unknown. An estimate, not a deadline.

overdue
boolean
required

True once the job runs past its type's overdue threshold: Rask is alerted. Keep waiting or check back later; do not start the same work again.

project_id
string | null
required

Project.

media_id
string | null
required

Media.

parent_job_id
string | null
required

The job that started this system job: the project_processing job of an auto-dub, the dub whose merge started an on-screen auto-start, the localization job of a stage, the project_processing job of a localization block, or the failed run a resumed localization job continues.

channel
enum<string>
required

Who started a job.

  • api: REST API v3
  • mcp: the Rask MCP server
  • system: automatic (auto-dub, on-screen auto-start, the stages of a localization run)
Available options:
api,
mcp,
system
params
object
required

Normalized request echo: a union on type (= Job.type).

details
object | null
required

Live per-type state.

stages
object[] | null
required

The stages of a localization job in run order; null for other types.

cost
object
required

Quoted at creation; charged turns true once the charge is committed. A localization job has no charge of its own: minutes is the sum of its stages charged and not refunded so far, charged is true once any stage is charged, refunded is true only when every charged stage was refunded, refunded_at is the latest refund. stages[].cost holds each stage; the quote is params.expected_cost_minutes.

result
object
required

Set when succeeded; a failed segment_generation job may also list clips already voiced.

error
object | null
required

Set when failed; on a canceled job only for the cancellation reason project_deleted (the project was deleted while the job ran; its work is discarded, refunded only for on-screen); instance is /v3/jobs/{id}, detail is generic. Each code's status, retry, recommendation and hint are in components.x-rask-job-errors. Codes by type: media_import source_download_failed, unsupported_media_type, media_corrupt, media_processing_failed, media_too_large (a voice sample above its limit); project_processing media_processing_failed, source_unavailable, no_audio_track, transcription_failed, no_speech_detected, audio_separation_failed, speaker_detection_failed, translation_failed, subtitle_import_rolled_back, project_processing_timeout, internal_error; translation translation_failed, translation_dispatch_failed, translation_timeout; segment_generation (cause_code) segment_generation_failed, segment_generation_timeout; localization localization_stage_failed, localization_stage_skipped (failed_stage, cause_code); dub (cause_code) dub_voiceover_failed, dub_merge_failed, dub_failed, dub_timeout; lipsync lipsync_failed, face_check_failed, no_face_detected, lipsync_rejected (cause_code), lipsync_timeout; onscreen onscreen_queue_timeout, onscreen_runner_lost, onscreen_runner_failed, onscreen_provider_unavailable, onscreen_finalize_timeout, onscreen_invalid_result, onscreen_publish_failed, onscreen_source_unavailable, onscreen_charge_failed; voice_clone voice_clone_failed, voice_clone_timeout; export export_failed; file_restore restore_failed. A failed job refunds its minutes (onscreen_charge_failed never charged). A failed localization job refunds only the failed stage, by its type's rule: succeeded stages stay charged, and skipped or unreached stages were never charged. A failed project_processing job refunds its project credit when a stage from transcription to translation failed, when it timed out and when a copy failed, but not for media_processing_failed, source_unavailable, no_audio_track or the internal_error of a new project.

created_at
string<date-time>
required

Creation time.

started_at
string<date-time> | null
required

Start time.

finished_at
string<date-time> | null
required

End time.
