# Get Text-to-Speech Job

GET https://api.sync.so/v2/tts/jobs/{id}

Retrieve a text-to-speech job by id. While the job is PENDING or PROCESSING, the response carries a `Retry-After: 3` header. The header is absent once the job reaches a terminal state (SUCCESS or FAILED).

Reference: https://sync.so/docs/api-reference/api/tts-api/get-job

## Authentication

- `x-api-key` header (required) — API Key authentication via header

## Servers

- `https://api.sync.so` (Default, default)
- `https://dev-api.sync.so` (dev)
- `http://localhost:3001` (local)

## Request

### Path parameters

- `id` (string, required) — The job id returned when the job was submitted.

## Response

### 200

Job retrieved successfully

- `id` (string, required) — Unique identifier for the job.
- `status` (enum, required) — The current lifecycle status of the job.
  - Allowed values: `PENDING`, `PROCESSING`, `SUCCESS`, `FAILED`
- `createdAt` (datetime, required) — When the job was created.
- `url` (string, optional) — The hosted URL of the synthesized audio. Null unless status is SUCCESS.
- `duration` (double, optional) — Duration of the synthesized audio in seconds. Null unless status is SUCCESS.
- `error` (TtsJobError, optional) — Error detail. Null unless status is FAILED.
- `startedAt` (datetime, optional) — When synthesis started. Null until synthesis starts.
- `finishedAt` (datetime, optional) — When the job reached a terminal state. Null until the job is SUCCESS or FAILED.

## Errors

### 401 Unauthorized Error

Unauthorized - Invalid or missing authentication

- `message` (GenerationErrorMessage, required) — A message describing the error.
- `statusCode` (double, required) — The type of error that occurred.
- `errorCode` (string, optional) — Stable, machine-readable error code (e.g. project_not_found, voice_not_found, concurrency_limit_reached). Branch your error handling on this, not on the message text. The full catalog of codes with messages and suggested fixes is served unauthenticated at GET /v2/errors.
- `suggestion` (string, optional) — A suggested fix an agent can act on.
- `field` (string, optional) — The request field the error refers to, when the failure is tied to a specific field (e.g. projectId, voiceId, input[].assetId).
- `docsUrl` (string, optional) — Link to the documentation page for the failing operation.
- `requestId` (string, optional) — Present on unexpected 500 responses. Include it when contacting support so the failing request can be located directly.
- `generationId` (string, optional) — Original generation ID when available for an uncertain keyed submission. Poll this ID; do not create another action to bypass IDEMPOTENCY_OUTCOME_UNKNOWN.
- `dialogueEditSection` (DialogueEditRetimeFailureSection, optional) — For dialogue_edit_removal_too_large: the section to change, when it can be identified. Create a new dialogue edit preview before submitting again.

### 404 Not Found Error

Job not found

- `message` (GenerationErrorMessage, required) — A message describing the error.
- `statusCode` (double, required) — The type of error that occurred.
- `errorCode` (string, optional) — Stable, machine-readable error code (e.g. project_not_found, voice_not_found, concurrency_limit_reached). Branch your error handling on this, not on the message text. The full catalog of codes with messages and suggested fixes is served unauthenticated at GET /v2/errors.

- `generationId` (string, optional) — Original generation ID when available for an uncertain keyed submission. Poll this ID; do not create another action to bypass IDEMPOTENCY_OUTCOME_UNKNOWN.

## Types

### TtsJobError

Error detail for a failed text-to-speech job.

- `code` (enum, required) — The machine-readable error code.
  - Allowed values: `CREATE_FAILED`, `PROVIDER_FAILED`, `PROVIDER_TIMEOUT`, `PROVIDER_RESULT_UNKNOWN`, `UPLOAD_FAILED`, `TIMEOUT`, `UNKNOWN`
- `message` (string, required) — A human-readable description of the failure.

### GenerationErrorMessage

A message describing the error.

### DialogueEditRetimeFailureSection

The dialogue-edit section that removes too much speech to stay in sync.

- `slotIndex` (integer, required) — Zero-based index of the section in the preview's `resultSlots`.
