Get Task Status
Poll for automation task completion and results
Use this endpoint to poll for the completion status and results of a previously submitted automation task. This is an alternative to using webhooks for receiving task results.
Authorization
Your Narada API key for authentication. Must be the same key used to create the original task.
Path Parameters
The unique identifier returned from the Remote Dispatch API when the task was created.
Response
Current status of the automation task. Possible values: - "pending" - Task
is still running - "success" - Task completed successfully - "error" -
Task failed with an error
Task response data. null when status is "pending".
ISO 8601 timestamp when the task was initially created.
ISO 8601 timestamp when the task completed. null if still pending.
Response Handling Options
This endpoint provides synchronous access to task results. For production applications, consider these alternatives:
Webhooks (Recommended)
Receive real-time notifications when tasks complete. More efficient and scalable than polling.
Polling Implementation
Complete polling implementation examples with error handling and best practices.
Rate Limiting: Implement reasonable polling intervals (5-10 seconds) to avoid overwhelming the API. Use exponential backoff for production applications.
Comparison: Polling vs Webhooks
| Feature | Polling | Webhooks |

| Setup Complexity | Low | Medium |
| Real-time Updates | No (delayed by interval) | Yes |
| Resource Usage | Higher (active requests) | Lower |
| Reliability | Medium | High (with retries) |
| Firewall Friendly | Yes | Requires open ports |
