Asana Jobs API

Asana Jobs API is an application programming interface that allows developers to access and interact with job-related data and functionality within the Asana platform. This API enables users to programmatically create, retrieve, update, and delete job postings, as well as access information about job applicants, interviews, and job statuses.

Operations 1

Each operation below carries the questions people ask an LLM about it and the instructions they give an agent to run it. Generated by API Evangelist overlay

GET /jobs/{job_gid} Check an asynchronous job's status · Get a job by id #
Ask an LLM
“Has my project duplication job finished?”
“Where can I check the progress of a background job?”
Tell an agent
Check the status of job {job}.
Show whether job {job} has succeeded.

Work with this as data

Every API here is available over the APIs.io API and to AI agents over MCP.

  description: 'Jobs represent processes that handle asynchronous work. A job created when an endpoint requests an action that will be handled asynchronously, such as project or task duplication.


    Only the creator of the duplication process can access the duplication status of the new object.


    *Note*: With any work that is handled asynchronously (e.g., project instantation from a template, duplicating a task or project, etc.), the *intermittent states* of newly-created objects may not be consistent. That is, object properties may return different values each time when polled until the job `status` has returned a `succeeded` value.'
