# Job status & Cancellation
On the project overview page, you can see all project-relevant details and the status of your running and finished jobs.
### Jobs
When you start a job manually or automatically (based on the project's settings) it will appear in the first row of your jobs table. The job status indicates what stage the job is currently in:
* **Started:** Your job started and is in progress. You can see the progress and how many scrapes were finished and how many are still being processed.
* **Finalizing:** Before your job finishes (or returns an error), the status switches to finalizing. This means that all responses were processed and the final information and the results are being prepared.
* **Completed:** All responses were processed and your job has finished successfully. There might be responses with errors. You can learn more about the reasons behind the failed responses when you download the error report from column "No. of responses".
* **Error:** If more than 50% of your responses failed, we will show the status "Error". You can learn more about the reasons behind the failed responses when you download the error report from column "No. of responses".
* **Cancelling:** When you choose to cancel your running job, we stop sending new requests but it still waits for the running requests to finish. It might take a few minutes to finalize the job and to prepare the results.
* **Cancelled:** This is the status for cancelled jobs.
Clicking on "Progress details" inside the "Finished At" column triggers a pop-up window that displays the scraping progress in real time

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.scraperapi.com/data-pipeline/jobs-and-costs-management/job-status-and-cancellation.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
