## Example Usage

After creating a job (either through the [extract-document](/extract/endpoints/extract-document.md) or [guess-shape](/extract/endpoints/guess-shape.md) endpoint), you can check its status with a GET request. If the job is finished, the result will be in the `result` field of the returned JSON.

```bash
curl "https://waveline.ai/api/v1/jobs/a5ecc735-c48e-43ea-a739-d42bfb19edb3" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
```
