# Jobs

The `job` endpoint allows the scheduling of a job to extract data and fetch the results once complete. Jobs will protect you from hitting rate limits and will ensure a smoother data retrieval experience. This feature has been built into the [ReportExport](/brand-api-reference/reference/report-export/report-export.md) and [ClickExport](broken://pages/3846740ffc696d811e9e9d7d3bad7a10c77eef0e) where a job is scheduled automatically for you when you use this endpoint.

## Job runtime

The job runtime depends on the requested data and averages around 5 seconds. The job runs as follows:

1. The job is `Scheduled`.
2. The job is `Queued` to process. Jobs with large data set requests can wait in the queue and impact the execution time.
3. The job will `Run.`
4. The job `Results` become available for download.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://integrations.impact.com/brand-api-reference/reference/jobs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
