# Get job status

GET https://ocr.emtelligent.com/jobs/{job_id}

The job's state, its per-stage page counters, and service load gauges.

``timings=true`` adds ``page_timings``: duration statistics per stage and
a timeline per page.

Reference: https://docs.emtelligent.com/ocr/api/get-job

## Types

### RenderStage

- `total_pages` (integer, optional, nullable)
- `rendered` (integer, optional, default: 0)
- `failed` (integer, optional, default: 0)
- `loaded_from_log` (integer, optional, default: 0)

- `in_flight` (integer, optional, default: 0)

### PageTimingReport

Per-page timings for the render and OCR stages.

- `render` (PageTimingStats, optional) — Distribution of per-page durations for one stage, in milliseconds. ``count`` is the number of pages that finished the stage. The other fields are null until at least one page finishes.
- `ocr` (PageTimingStats, optional) — Distribution of per-page durations for one stage, in milliseconds. ``count`` is the number of pages that finished the stage. The other fields are null until at least one page finishes.
- `span_ms` (double, optional, nullable)
- `pages` (list of PageTiming, optional)

### ValidationError

- `loc` (list of ValidationErrorLocItems, required)
- `msg` (string, required)
- `type` (string, required)
- `input` (any, optional)
- `ctx` (ValidationErrorCtx, optional)

### PageTimingStats

Distribution of per-page durations for one stage, in milliseconds. ``count`` is the number of pages that finished the stage. The other fields are null until at least one page finishes.

- `count` (integer, optional, default: 0)
- `total_ms` (double, optional, default: 0)
- `min_ms` (double, optional, nullable)
- `max_ms` (double, optional, nullable)
- `mean_ms` (double, optional, nullable)
- `p50_ms` (double, optional, nullable)
- `p95_ms` (double, optional, nullable)
- `slowest_page` (integer, optional, nullable)

### PageTiming

One page's timeline. The ``*_start_ms`` and ``*_end_ms`` values are offsets in milliseconds from the start of the earliest page work in the job. The other ``*_ms`` values are durations. A field is null for a stage that the page has not finished.

- `page` (integer, required)
- `render_start_ms` (double, optional, nullable)
- `render_end_ms` (double, optional, nullable)
- `render_ms` (double, optional, nullable)
- `ocr_start_ms` (double, optional, nullable)
- `ocr_end_ms` (double, optional, nullable)
- `ocr_ms` (double, optional, nullable)
