Get Task for a Job

Prev Next

This tutorial demonstrates how to search for a task via RESTful API.

The steps include:

  • Getting the Job ID

  • Searching for a task using Job ID

It is similar to Searching for a task. The difference is that the job ID is being input as a query parameter in the URL.

The commands are provided in curl and can be run from the command prompt when the Synergy Server is running (or in a batch script).

Additional API documentation

To get a list of most of the API requests available, with the 12d Synergy server running, browse http://synergy.myserver.com/api-docs/ui/index.

(Replace synergy.myserver.com with the external server address and update the port numbers if necessary.)

1.1. Getting the Personal Access Token to access API

The tutorial for getting the PAT is here: Generate PAT in Web client.

1.2. Getting the Job ID

Refer to Search Jobs to get the required job ID.

After getting the Job ID, it can now be input into the API request.

1.3. Search for a Task

This request can be found in the API Documentation under Tasks marked 'Get task list for a job'.

Sample Request

curl --location 'http://localhost:8080/api/v1/tasks/getTaskList?job_id={job-id-here}' \

--header 'Authorization: Bearer <your-token-here>' \

--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
