- **Path** `GET https://api.sylphx.com/v1/orgs/acme/projects/shop/envs/production/distributed_jobs/distributed-job`
- **Scope** `workflows:read`
- **Effect** `read` — nothing is written.
- **Collection** [distributed_jobs](/docs/api/distributed_jobs)

## Request

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | `string` | The name of the distributed job to get. Required. |

## Response

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | `string` | `orgs/{org}/projects/{project}/envs/{env}/distributed_jobs/{distributed_job}`. |
| `uid` | `string` | `djob_<cell><ulid>`; never reused. Output only. |
| `meta` | `ResourceMeta` | Resource metadata. |
| `spec` | `DistributedJobSpec` | Desired state. Required. |
| `status` | `DistributedJobStatus` | Observed state. Output only. |

### ResourceMeta

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `generation` | `int64` | Increases by one on every change to `spec`. Output only. |
| `etag` | `string` | Strong ETag (AIP-154): changes on any change to spec, status, or metadata. Send it back as `If-Match` or `etag` to make Update and Delete conditional; a mismatch fails with ABORTED / 409 `ETAG_MISMATCH`. Output only. |
| `create_time` | `timestamp` | When the Resource was created. Output only. |
| `update_time` | `timestamp` | When the Resource last changed. Output only. |
| `delete_time` | `timestamp` | Set while the Resource is being deleted. Output only. |
| `labels` | `map<string, string>` | Caller-writable, indexed labels (AIP-122 label rules). |
| `annotations` | `map<string, string>` | Caller-writable, unindexed annotations. |
| `display_name` | `string` | Caller-writable human-readable name. |
| `creator` | `string` | The principal that created the Resource. Output only. |

### DistributedJobSpec

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `worker` | `JobSpec` | The worker container: its image, command, env and instance type. `timeout` is the longest one worker lives, so the pool turns over; `max_retries` and `concurrency` do not apply. Required. |
| `worker_class` | `WorkerClass` | Price and preemption class; default scavenger. One of `scavenger`, `standard`. |
| `scale` | `WorkerScale` | Elastic bounds of the worker pool. |
| `scratch_gib` | `int32` | Local scratch disk at `/scratch` per worker, GiB; 0 is none. |
| `shard_count` | `int64` | A run that brings no shards of its own gets this many index-only shards. |
| `shard_timeout` | `duration` | The longest one lease may live without the shard ending; default 30m. |
| `shard_retries` | `int32` | Attempts a shard gets after a failure; a preemption is not one. Default 3. |
| `max_failed_shards` | `int64` | Failed shards the run tolerates before it fails; default 0. |
| `run_timeout` | `duration` | The whole run's deadline; default 48h. |
| `checkpoint_uri` | `string` | `data://<bucket>/<prefix>/`: checkpoints go under `<run>/<shard>/`. |
| `output_uri` | `string` | `data://<bucket>/<prefix>/`: outputs go under `<run>/<shard>/`. |

### DistributedJobStatus

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `observed_generation` | `int64` | The generation this status was computed from. Output only. |
| `conditions` | `Condition[]` | Ready, Reconciling, Stalled. Output only. |

### JobSpec

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `service` | `string` | The Hosting Service whose env and Secret bindings every run takes, and whose live Release image it runs unless `image` or `build` names another, so a Job never runs code the environment does not serve. Required. |
| `image` | `string` | A digest-pinned image from this org's Artifacts, in place of the service's image. Exclusive with `build`. |
| `command` | `string[]` | The entrypoint; empty keeps the image's. |
| `args` | `string[]` | Arguments; a run may replace them. |
| `env` | `map<string, string>` | Environment overrides on top of the service's env and Secret bindings. |
| `instance_type` | `string` | A Hosting instance type; default `standard`. |
| `timeout` | `duration` | One attempt's deadline, 10s to 24h; default 1h. |
| `max_retries` | `int32` | Re-runs after a non-zero exit, 0 to 10; backoff 30s doubling. |
| `concurrency` | `JobConcurrency` | What a start does while a run is active; default forbid. One of `forbid`, `queue`, `allow`. |
| `build` | `string` | A build the project declares: its latest built image, in place of the service's; the image needs no running service of its own. Exclusive with `image`. |

### WorkerScale

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `min_workers` | `int32` | Workers kept while shards remain; default 1. |
| `max_workers` | `int32` | The most workers at once; the Cell and the org quota cap it too. Default 1. |

### Condition

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `type` | `string` | The condition type, for example `Ready`. |
| `status` | `ConditionStatus` | Whether the condition holds. One of `true`, `false`, `unknown`. |
| `observed_generation` | `int64` | The generation this observation was made against. |
| `reason` | `string` | A machine-readable UpperCamelCase reason. |
| `message` | `string` | A customer-safe human-readable message. |
| `severity` | `Severity` | How severe a FALSE condition is. One of `info`, `warning`, `error`. |
| `transition_time` | `timestamp` | When `status` last changed. |
