Poll until ready

Reuse this loop for import, transcript, dub, or download jobs.

Terminal window
JOB_ID=import_uv_123
for i in $(seq 1 90); do
  BODY=$(curl -sS "$BRAIV_API_BASE/jobs/$JOB_ID" -H "Authorization: Bearer $BRAIV_API_KEY")
  STATUS=$(echo "$BODY" | jq -r .status)
  echo "$i $STATUS"
  if [ "$STATUS" = "ready" ] || [ "$STATUS" = "failed" ]; then
    echo "$BODY"
    exit 0
  fi
  sleep 10
done
echo "timed out" >&2
exit 1

For production, prefer webhooks so you are not polling.
