# Jobs

> Manage Unstructured workflow jobs with the Python SDK or REST endpoints. List jobs, monitor processing status, inspect failed files, and cancel running jobs.

A workflow job is created automatically whenever:

* A workflow runs on a schedule. For more details see [Create workflow](/api-reference/api/workflow/create-workflow).
* You run a workflow manually. For more details see [Run workflow](/api-reference/api/workflow/run-workflow).

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

| Task | Python function | curl |
| - | - | - |
| Get a list of available jobs | `jobs.list_jobs` | `GET` [`/jobs`](/api-reference/api/job/list-jobs) |
| Get basic information about a job | `jobs.get_job` | `GET` [`/jobs/<job-id>`](/api-reference/api/job/get-job) |
| Get information about a job's current processing status | `jobs.get_job_details` | `GET` [`/jobs/<job-id>/details`](/api-reference/api/job/get-job-details) |
| Get the list of any failed files for a job and why those files failed | `jobs.get_failed_files` | `GET` [`/jobs/<job-id>/failed-files`](/api-reference/api/job/get-job-failed-files) |
| 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 | | `POST` [`/jobs/`](/api-reference/api/job/create-job) |
| Cancel a running job | `jobs.cancel_job` | `POST` [`/jobs/<job-id>/cancel`](/api-reference/api/job/cancel-job) |

A workflow job is created automatically whenever:

* A workflow runs on a schedule. For more details see [Create workflow](/api-reference/api/workflow/create-workflow).
* You run a workflow manually. For more details see [Run workflow](/api-reference/api/workflow/run-workflow).
