Overview
A polling pattern for monitoring the progress and completion status of an asynchronous batch processing job.
Description
Batch Status Polling involves periodically querying the batch API to check if a batch job has completed processing. The status transitions through: validating -> in_progress -> finalizing -> completed (or failed/expired/cancelled).
When status reaches completed, the output_file_id field becomes available for downloading results.
Usage
Use after creating a batch job. Poll at regular intervals (e.g., every 30-60 seconds) until status is completed or a terminal state.
Theoretical Basis
# Abstract polling pattern
import time
while True:
batch = api.get_batch(batch_id)
if batch.status == "completed":
output_file_id = batch.output_file_id
break
elif batch.status in ("failed", "expired", "cancelled"):
raise Error(f"Batch {batch.status}")
time.sleep(60)
