curl -X GET 'https://api.narada.ai/fast/v2/remote-dispatch/responses/req_abc123def456' \
  -H 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY'
{
  "status": "pending",
  "response": null,
  "createdAt": "2024-12-19T00:00:00.000000+00:00",
  "completedAt": null
}
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

x-api-key
string
required
Your Narada API key for authentication. Must be the same key used to create the original task.

Path Parameters

requestId
string
required
The unique identifier returned from the Remote Dispatch API when the task was created.

Response

status
string
required
Current status of the automation task. Possible values:
  • "pending" - Task is still running
  • "success" - Task completed successfully
  • "error" - Task failed with an error
  • "input-required" - Task requires additional user input to continue
browserWindowId
string | null
The browser window ID where the task was executed. null if not applicable.
response
object | null
Task response data. null when status is "pending".
createdAt
string
required
ISO 8601 timestamp when the task was initially created.
completedAt
string | null
ISO 8601 timestamp when the task completed. null if still pending.
usage
object | null
Usage statistics for the task. null if not yet available.

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.
