Jobs API

List project jobs

Get a list of jobs in a project. Jobs are sorted in descending order of their IDs.

By default, this request returns 20 results at a time because the API results are paginated

This endpoint supports both offset-based and keyset-based pagination. Keyset-based pagination is recommended when requesting consecutive pages of results.

GET /projects/:id/jobs

id integer/string Yes ID or URL-encoded path of the project owned by the authenticated user.
scope string or array of strings No Scope of jobs to show. Either one of or an array of the following: created, pending, running, failed, success, canceled, skipped, waiting_for_resource, or manual. All jobs are returned if scope is not provided.
