Monitoring progress of extraction job of file in a bucket?

Question

I want to monitor the progress of an extraction job of a file stored in a bucket.

I've gone through the Webhooks API documentation, and if I understood everything correctly, the events only work for files stored in a folder, so it can't be used with a bucket. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

So, besides polling the GET :urn/manifest endpoint in the Model Derivate API, and assuming the Webhooks API can't be used with a bucket, is there any other way to monitor the progress of an extraction job?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Webhook now supports the Model Derivative event extraction.finished. This type is exactly used in the scenario of translating model of the bucket. This is a blog on the API. I copied it as a reference on SO:

Webhook now supports the Model Derivative event extraction.finished, so your app can be notified when translation job finishes. To use it, (1) create a hook specifying a scope.workflow:

{
  "callbackUrl": "http://bf067e05.ngrok.io/callback",
  "scope": {
   "workflow": "my-workflow-id"
 }
}

And (2) when posting a translation job, specify the misc.workflow:

{
  "input": {
     "urn":  
      "dXJuOmFkc2sub2JqZWN0czpv...."
  },
  "output": {
  "formats": [{
    "type": "obj"
  }]
 },
"misc": {
  "workflow": "my-workflow-id"
 }
}

With my test, the workflow can be guid of your WebHook.The post body from Forge will tell you which file is translated and its urn, location etc.

Hope it helps.
