Use this endpoint to retrieve status and results of

If you specified optional parameter replyUrl you technically do not need to use this endpoint to retrieve results since API will call provided replyUrl once job generation completed.

Important API periodically polls (checks) Discord every 15 to 60 seconds (depending on the load) and updates all currently executed jobs statuses and results. Polling interval is used for safety reasons, aiming to prevent any potential issues with Discord and Pika, such as bans or excessive requests.

Jobs lifespan guaranteed to be at least 31 days, after that they will be expired and may be recycled.
