Response

Every response describes a run. Read result once run_status is succeeded.

run_id
The run to track. Keep it when contacting support.
run_status
Queued, running, waiting for sign-in, succeeded, or failed. Check this even after an HTTP 200.
status_url
Poll this URL while the run is pending. Keep the same run instead of starting another request.
result
The endpoint’s returned data. The example is illustrative; actual fields may be empty or unavailable.
error
On failure, inspect its code, message, retryable and action fields.
