​
Overview

This endpoint returns the current state of a Deep Search task. It is the primary status endpoint for polling progress, checking counters, and seeing whether the task is exhausted.

​
Example request

export EXTRUCT_API_TOKEN="YOUR_API_TOKEN"
export TASK_ID="YOUR_TASK_ID"

curl --get "https://api.extruct.ai/v1/discovery_tasks/${TASK_ID}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${EXTRUCT_API_TOKEN}"

​
Key parameters

  • task_id (required): Task identifier returned by create-task.
Track these fields while polling:
  • status
  • is_exhausted
  • num_results_discovered
  • num_results_enriched
  • num_results_evaluated
  • num_results
Interpret them like this:
  • num_results_discovered: candidates gathered from the selected data sources.
  • num_results_enriched: discovered candidates that passed the relevance pre-filter and were enriched with company profiles.
  • num_results_evaluated: enriched candidates that have been fully scored across all criteria.
  • num_results: evaluated candidates currently counted as high-fit, meaning at least 75% of criteria are graded 4 or 5.

​
Success signal

The task is complete when status=done or is_exhausted=true.

​
Common errors

​
401 Unauthorized

Check that your header is Authorization: Bearer ${EXTRUCT_API_TOKEN}.

​
404 Not Found

The task ID is invalid or unavailable in your workspace. Re-check TASK_ID from create-task response.

​
status=failed

The task did not complete. Inspect returned error details, then retry create-task or use resume if appropriate.
