<Note>
  **Beta.** This endpoint is not in production yet and may change before it ships.

Requires an API key with the `read` scope.

## Path Parameters

<ParamField path="job_id" type="string" required>
  The job identifier.
</ParamField>

## Response

<ResponseField name="data" type="object">
  The job.

  <Expandable title="Job object">
    <ResponseField name="id" type="string">Job identifier.</ResponseField>
    <ResponseField name="type" type="string">Job type, for example `lead_import` or `email_verification`.</ResponseField>
    <ResponseField name="status" type="string">`pending`, `running`, `completed` or `failed`.</ResponseField>
    <ResponseField name="progress" type="integer">Percent complete, 0 to 100.</ResponseField>

    <ResponseField name="completedItems" type="integer">Number of items processed so far.</ResponseField>
    <ResponseField name="result" type="object">Result counters once the job has produced them, otherwise `null`. A lead import returns `imported`, `restored`, `failed` and, when it started a verification run, `verificationJobId`. A verification run returns `good`, `risky`, `bad`, `errors` and `billableCount`. A bulk lead action (`lead_bulk`) returns `deleted` or `updated`. A lead export (`lead_export`) returns `rows`, `downloadUrl` and `expiresInSeconds`. Raw rows and failed-row details are never returned.</ResponseField>
    <ResponseField name="error" type="string">Error summary when the job failed, otherwise `null`.</ResponseField>
    <ResponseField name="startedAt" type="string">ISO 8601 timestamp, or `null`.</ResponseField>

## Errors

| Status | Description |

## Rate Limit

- **600 requests per minute, shared by every `poll` call in your workspace.** Fixed 60-second window.
- Every response includes `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining`, `X-RateLimit-Reset` (unix epoch seconds) and `X-RateLimit-Bucket` (`poll`).
- A `429` response includes a `Retry-After` header (seconds until the bucket resets).

For client-side patterns (`Retry-After`, exponential backoff, monitoring `X-RateLimit-Remaining`), see [Rate Limiting](/rate-limiting).
