Jobs

Overview

Various XPKit requests trigger long running tasks that are processed asynchronously. This means you will not receive an immediate result back from calling certain endpoints. Instead you will receive a Job ID back in the response.

The Job ID can be used with this service to request the current status of the running job. This is helpful if you need to await the result of a request before you can continue with a particular task.

Jobs and callbacks

Various XPKit services such as the Notifications and VCC APIs allow you to specify callback URLs. It is recommended you use these where possible rather than continually pinging the Jobs service as there are rate limits in place.
