# GET /v1/image-generations/{jobId}

`GET /v1/image-generations/{jobId}`

<Warning>

This API is currently provided as a preview. Be aware of the following:

- There might be unannounced breaking changes.
- Any breaking changes to preview APIs won't produce a new [API version](https://www.canva.dev/docs/apps/rest-apis/versions/).
- Public apps that use preview APIs will not pass the review process, and can't be made available to all Canva users.

</Warning>

Gets the result of an image generation job that was created using the [Create image generation job API](https://www.canva.dev/docs/apps/rest-apis/reference/generations/create-image-generation-job/). Only the app and user that created the job can get it.

If the job is successful, the job's `result` contains a download URL for the generated image. The download URL is only valid for 24 hours. If the job was created with `asset_upload` set to `type: upload`, the `result` also contains the image asset that the image was saved as. These jobs stay `in_progress` until the asset has finished importing, so the returned asset is ready to use.

You might need to make multiple requests to this endpoint until you get a `success` or `failed` status. For more information on the workflow for using asynchronous jobs, see [API requests and responses](https://www.canva.dev/docs/apps/rest-apis/requests-responses/#asynchronous-job-endpoints).
