Check whether a specific job exists
Check whether a specific background job was created on your system based on its ID.

sessionId in the response is your session token. Use this token in all the other calls that you make.
Also, make sure that you have the appropriate user type permissions to perform this API call. To view or update your permissions, in WorldServer, go to and then select your user type.
