# Get Job Metadata

`GET /jobs/{job_id}/metadata`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.ionworks.com`
- URL: `https://api.ionworks.com/jobs/{job_id}/metadata`

Get the full metadata blob for a job.

Returns the JSON contents of the job's ``metadata.json.gz`` blob in the
``job-files`` Supabase Storage bucket. API clients use this to access
fields that are too large for the ``result`` column — for example, the
``validation_results`` and ``validation_plot_config`` payloads written by
pipeline validation jobs.

## Path parameters

- `job_id` string, uuid, required

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- unknown

## Other responses

## Changes

- **2026-09-30** `ea3d377fec1a`: 1 breaking
  - for the `path` request parameter `job_id`, the format changed from no format to `uuid`
