# Get a deletion job

GET https://example.ada.support/api/v2/jobs/{job_id}

Returns the current state of a deletion job, including the per-identifier dispositions. A job for an unknown or unowned `job_id` returns `404`.

Reference: https://docs.ada.cx/reference/end-users/bulk-deletion/get-a-deletion-job

## Request

### Path parameters

- `job_id` (string, required) — Identifier of the deletion job returned when the request was submitted.

## Response

### 200

The deletion job was found.

- `job_id` (string, optional) — Identifier of the deletion job.
- `type` (string, optional) — The job type.
- `client_reference` (string, optional, nullable) — The caller-supplied reference from the original request, or null.
- `status` (enum, optional) — Lifecycle state of a deletion job. `queued` and `in_progress` are non-terminal; `completed`, `partial`, and `failed` are terminal.
  - Allowed values: `queued`, `in_progress`, `completed`, `partial`, `failed`
- `identifiers` (list of IdentifierDisposition, optional) — Per-identifier outcomes. Inspect this array to understand exactly what was erased, rather than relying on the top-level status alone.
- `created_at` (string, optional) — Time the job was created, in ISO 8601 format.
- `completed_at` (string, optional, nullable) — Time the job reached a terminal state, in ISO 8601 format, or null while the job is still running.
- `failure_reason` (string, optional, nullable) — Opaque, machine-readable diagnostic present only when `status` is `failed`, or null otherwise. This value is subject to change; to understand outcomes per identifier, inspect each identifier's `disposition` and `reason`.

## Errors

### 401 Unauthorized Error

Authentication token is missing or invalid. Try generating a new token.

- `any`

### 404 Not Found Error

No deletion job exists for the supplied `job_id` under this AI Agent.

- `any`

### 429 Too Many Requests Error

Too many requests. Retry after slowing the request rate.

- `any`

### 500 Internal Server Error

Something went wrong on Ada's end.

- `any`

## Types

### IdentifierDisposition

The outcome for one submitted identifier.

- `type` (enum, optional) — The kind of identifier supplied. `variable_match` selects every end user whose stored variable equals the value.
  - Allowed values: `email`, `chatter_id`, `external_id`, `end_user_id`, `variable_match`
- `value` (string, optional) — The identifier value as submitted.
- `variable` (string, optional, nullable) — The matched variable name, or null when not applicable.
- `disposition` (enum, optional) — How the identifier was handled. `accepted` identifiers are queued for erasure; the other values indicate the identifier contributed no erasure.
  - Allowed values: `accepted`, `not_found`, `invalid`, `exceeds_limit`, `duplicate`
- `matched_chatters` (integer, optional) — Number of end users matched by this identifier.
- `reason` (string, optional, nullable) — Human-readable explanation for a non-accepted disposition. Always set for `invalid` and `exceeds_limit`, and for `not_found` on ID-based identifiers; may be null for a `not_found` `email` or `variable_match` selector, and for `accepted`/`duplicate`. Do not assume it is non-null from `disposition` alone.
