monitoring notebook via API

[Yacine911]

Hello everyone,

I'm running a notebook using the Fabric API, and while the execution works fine, I haven't found a way to monitor its status. Specifically, I can't retrieve the Job Instance ID that would allow me to track the notebook's execution progress

POST https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXXX/items/XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXXX/jobs/inst...

this is what i get 

{
"itemId":"xxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxxx",
"jobType":"RunNotebook",
"invokeType":"Manual",
"status":"NotStarted",
"failureReason":null,
"rootActivityId":"xxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxxx",

"endTimeUtc":null,

},

}

Hi @Yacine911,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.

The response from the POST request to run a notebook will not include a field like named job Instance Id. But we can use the rootActivityId which we get from the response to monitor the notebook's execution status.

Run this below to get the rootActivityId:

POST https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/{workspaceId}/items/{notebookId}/jobs/instances

Run this below one to get the status:

GET https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/{workspaceId}/items/{notebookId}/jobs/instances/{root...

{workspaceId} – your workspace Id

{notebookId} – the notebook item Id

{rootActivityId} – from the POST response

hi,

The rootActivityId didn’t work, but funnily enough, the id is back, and it worked using that.
