Jobs API (v2.0)

Use the Jobs API to retrieve, create, update, and delete job targets or the job description. This REST API lets you interact with:

  • M.Target entities, which are targets of a job.
  • The M.JobDescription entity, which contains information about what to do and what is in progress.

Note
To help you switch to the Jobs API, we provide guidance on how to update calls in your code.

Authentication

To use the Try it feature of the Jobs API, you need:
