# Jobs

To use the [Unstructured API's workflow operations](/api-reference/workflow/overview) to manage jobs, do the following:

* To get a list of available jobs, use the `UnstructuredClient` object's `jobs.list_jobs` function (for the Python SDK) or
  the `GET` method to call the `/jobs` endpoint (for `curl` or Postman). [Learn more](/api-reference/workflow/overview#list-jobs).
* To get basic information about a job, use the `UnstructuredClient` object's `jobs.get_job` function (for the Python SDK) or
  the `GET` method to call the `/jobs/<job-id>` endpoint (for `curl` or Postman). [Learn more](/api-reference/workflow/overview#get-a-job).
* To get information about a job's current processing status, use the `UnstructuredClient` object's `jobs.get_job_details` function (for the Python SDK) or
  the `GET` method to call the `/jobs/<job-id>/details` endpoint (for `curl` or Postman). [Learn more](/api-reference/workflow/overview#get-processing-details-for-a-job).
* To get the list of any failed files for a job and why those files failed, use the `UnstructuredClient` object's `jobs.get_failed_files` function (for the Python SDK) or
  the `GET` method to call the `/jobs/<job-id>/failed-files` endpoint (for `curl` or Postman). [Learn more](/api-reference/workflow/overview#get-failed-file-details-for-a-job).
* To run a workflow that takes one or more local files only as input, and the workflow exists only for the duration of
  that job's run (known as an *on-demand job*), use the `POST` method to call the `/jobs/` endpoint for `curl` or Postman. [Learn more](/api-reference/workflow/overview#run-an-on-demand-job).
* A job is created automatically whenever a workflow runs on a schedule; see [Create a workflow](/api-reference/workflow/workflows#create-a-workflow).
  A job is also created automatically whenever you run a workflow manually; see [Run a workflow](/api-reference/workflow/overview#run-a-workflow).
* To cancel a running job, use the `UnstructuredClient` object's `jobs.cancel_job` function (for the Python SDK) or
  the `POST` method to call the `/jobs/<job-id>/cancel` endpoint (for `curl` or Postman). [Learn more](/api-reference/workflow/overview#cancel-a-job).
