The API requires an access token issued by Finch. By default, Organization and Payroll requests use Finch's [Data Syncs](/developer-resources/Data-Syncs). If a request is made before the initial sync has completed, Finch will request data live from the provider. The latency on live requests may range from seconds to minutes depending on the provider and batch size. For automated integrations, Deductions requests (both read and write) are always made live to the provider. Latencies may range from seconds to minutes depending on the provider and batch size. Employer products are specified by the product parameter, a space-separated list of products that your application requests from an employer authenticating through Finch Connect. Valid product names are— - `company`: Read basic company data - `directory`: Read company directory and organization structure - `individual`: Read individual data, excluding income and employment data - `employment`: Read individual employment and income data - `payment`: Read payroll and contractor related payments by the company - `pay_statement`: Read detailed pay statements for each individual - `benefits`: Create and manage deductions and contributions and enrollment for an employer [![Open in Postman](https://run.pstmn.io/button.svg)](https://god.gw.postman.com/run-collection/21027137-08db0929-883d-4094-a9ce-dbf5a9bee4a4?action=collection%2Ffork&collection-url=entityId%3D21027137-08db0929-883d-4094-a9ce-dbf5a9bee4a4%26entityType%3Dcollection%26workspaceId%3D1edf19bc-e0a8-41e9-ac55-481a4b50790b) servers: - url: https://api.tryfinch.com description: '' security: [] tags: - name: Organization - name: Payroll - name: Deductions - name: Management - name: Sandbox paths: /jobs/automated/{job_id}: parameters: - schema: type: string name: job_id in: path required: true get: tags: - Management summary: Retrieve an Automated Job description: Get an automated job by `job_id`. operationId: get-jobs-job_id parameters: - $ref: '#/components/parameters/API-Version' - $ref: '#/components/parameters/Content-Type' responses: '200': description: OK content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/AutomatedAsyncJob' examples: Example 1: value: job_id: 453bd7d7-5355-4d6d-a38e-d9e7eb218c3f job_url: >- https://api.tryfinch.com/job/automated/453bd7d7-5355-4d6d-a38e-d9e7eb218c3f type: data_sync_all status: complete created_at: '2019-08-24T14:15:22Z' scheduled_at: '2019-08-24T14:15:22Z' started_at: '2019-08-24T14:15:22Z' completed_at: '2019-08-24T14:15:22Z' Example 2: value: job_id: 453bd7d7-5355-4d6d-a38e-d9e7eb218c3f job_url: >- https://api.tryfinch.com/job/automated/453bd7d7-5355-4d6d-a38e-d9e7eb218c3f type: w4_form_employee_sync status: pending created_at: '2019-08-24T14:15:22Z' scheduled_at: '2019-08-24T14:15:22Z' params: individual_id: '12345' '404': description: Not Found security: - bearerAuth: [] x-codeSamples: - lang: JavaScript source: >- import Finch from '@tryfinch/finch-api'; const client = new Finch({ accessToken: 'My Access Token', }); const automatedAsyncJob = await client.jobs.automated.retrieve('job_id'); console.log(automatedAsyncJob.job_id); - lang: Python source: |- from finch import Finch client = Finch( access_token="My Access Token", ) automated_async_job = client.jobs.automated.retrieve( "job_id", ) print(automated_async_job.job_id) - lang: Go source: "package main\n\nimport (\n\t\"context\"\n\t\"fmt\"\n\n\t\"github.com/Finch-API/finch-api-go\"\n\t\"github.com/Finch-API/finch-api-go/option\"\n)\n\nfunc main() {\n\tclient := finchgo.NewClient(\n\t\toption.WithAccessToken(\"My Access Token\"),\n\t)\n\tautomatedAsyncJob, err := client.Jobs.Automated.Get(context.TODO(), \"job_id\")\n\tif err != nil {\n\t\tpanic(err.Error())\n\t}\n\tfmt.Printf(\"%+v\\n\", automatedAsyncJob.JobID)\n}\n" - lang: Java source: |- package com.tryfinch.api.example; import com.tryfinch.api.client.FinchClient; import com.tryfinch.api.client.okhttp.FinchOkHttpClient; import com.tryfinch.api.models.AutomatedAsyncJob; import com.tryfinch.api.models.JobAutomatedRetrieveParams; public final class Main { private Main() {} public static void main(String[] args) { FinchClient client = FinchOkHttpClient.builder() .fromEnv() .accessToken("My Access Token") .build(); AutomatedAsyncJob automatedAsyncJob = client.jobs().automated().retrieve("job_id"); } } - lang: Kotlin source: |- package com.tryfinch.api.example import com.tryfinch.api.client.FinchClient import com.tryfinch.api.client.okhttp.FinchOkHttpClient import com.tryfinch.api.models.AutomatedAsyncJob import com.tryfinch.api.models.JobAutomatedRetrieveParams fun main() { val client: FinchClient = FinchOkHttpClient.builder() .fromEnv() .accessToken("My Access Token") .build() val automatedAsyncJob: AutomatedAsyncJob = client.jobs().automated().retrieve("job_id") } - lang: Ruby source: |- require "finch_api" finch = FinchAPI::Client.new(access_token: "My Access Token") automated_async_job = finch.jobs.automated.retrieve("job_id") puts(automated_async_job) components: parameters: API-Version: name: Finch-API-Version in: header required: true schema: type: string default: '2020-09-17' format: date pattern: ([12]\d{3}-(0[1-9]|1[0-2])-(0[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01])) description: >- Header used to specify the version for a given API request.
