# List jobs, newest first

> Lists jobs newest first. At a deployment's address, the jobs sent to
that deployment; at the workspace address, every job in the
caller's workspace. A caller never sees another workspace's jobs.

Filter by your own labels with `metadata[<key>]=<value>`, up to 3
times; a job is listed only when every pair matches exactly. A 4th
filter, a repeated key, a key outside the key rule, or a value with a
character no label may hold (a control character or a bidirectional
embedding, override or isolate, as on submit) is refused `400`
`invalid_metadata_filter`. A filter value must be URL-encoded; a raw
`;` or a bad `%` escape answers `400` `invalid_metadata_filter`.

Pages: pass the response's `next_cursor` back as `cursor`, with the
same filters, to read the next page. `next_cursor` is absent on the
last page. Each job appears once across the pages.

List items are a job's stored record, not the `Job` object: they
carry no `outputs` and no `urls`. Read a job with
`GET /api/v2/jobs/{id}` for its outputs.

Only the serverless platform lists jobs today. Comfy Cloud answers
`501` `not_implemented`.




## OpenAPI

````yaml /openapi-v2.yaml get /api/v2/jobs
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: Comfy API v2
  version: 2.0.0
  description: |
    The official, versioned HTTP API for running ComfyUI workflows from
    external applications: upload inputs, submit a workflow, observe
    execution, retrieve results.

    Design principles:
    - **Poll-first.** Every capability is reachable via plain GET polling;
      the SSE stream is a live enhancement, never the source of truth.
    - **Everything is resumable.** Submission is idempotent; job state and
      outputs are retrievable by ID until `expires_at`.
    - **UUID identity, content-addressed dedup.** Assets are UUID-identified
      records over blobs keyed by a server-computed blake3 hash. The hash is
      nullable and may be computed lazily.
    - **Follow links, don't build URLs.** Responses embed follow-up URLs.

    Additive changes only within v2; breaking changes require v3.

        `missing_asset` (422), `hash_mismatch` (409), `blob_not_found`
        (404), `idempotency_key_reuse` (422), `upload_timed_out` (422: an
        asset upload stopped sending or was too slow; retry from a faster
        connection),
        `queue_full` (429 + Retry-After), `rate_limited` (429 + Retry-After:
        the caller is past a request rate limit; retry), `insufficient_credits`
        (402), `not_found` (404), `unauthorized` (401), `forbidden` (403).
        Deployment-scoped surfaces add: `deployment_not_ready` (429 +
        Retry-After — the deployment can still reach ready; retry),
        `deployment_unavailable` (429 + Retry-After: the deployment is ready
        but its GPU provider is not taking work on it yet; retry),
        `deployment_lookup_unavailable` (503 + Retry-After, on any
        operation: the deployment the address names could not be looked up
        just now; nothing was done, so retry), `database_unavailable` (503 +
        Retry-After, only on a job submit: the job could not be saved just
        now and nothing was started, so retry), `auth_unavailable` (503 +
        Retry-After, on any operation: the credential could not be checked
        just now, which says nothing about the credential, so retry),
        `output_unavailable` (503 + Retry-After, only on a job status read: an
        output of the job could not be prepared just now; the job is
        unchanged, so retry after `Retry-After`, and report the job if it
        keeps answering),
        `deployment_stopped` (422 — terminal deployment state; a retry
        cannot succeed without operator action), `invalid_request` (422:
        a malformed asset upload or asset-from-hash field, or a jobs-list
        `limit` that is not a positive integer), `validation_error` (422,
        Cloud: an asset upload or asset-from-hash field was refused, e.g. a
        tag over the tag limits), `content_blocked` (451:
        content moderation flagged the asset's bytes) and `sso_required` (403:
        the key is valid, but the account must sign in through its
        organization's single sign-on, which does not accept this key).
        Comfy Cloud's asset upload adds `invalid_content_type` (422: the
        request is not `multipart/form-data` with a boundary),
        `invalid_body` (422: a malformed multipart body or upload field),
        `validation_error` (422: the platform refused the upload, for example
        an image over the size cap or a disallowed tag) and `upload_busy`
        (503 + Retry-After: the server is busy with other uploads and nothing
        was stored, so retry).
        Job labels add: `metadata_invalid` (422: a submitted `metadata` breaks a
        limit; `details.key` names the key, except for too many pairs, which
        has no `details`), `metadata_not_supported` (422:
        this surface keeps no job labels yet), `invalid_metadata_filter` (400)
        and `invalid_cursor` (400). A surface that does not list jobs yet
        answers `not_implemented` (501). A 429 is disambiguated
        by `error.code` alone; clients should treat any 429 + Retry-After
        as "back off and retry".

                Machine-readable detail for the code. When it carries
                `node_errors`, that is keyed by node id and each value is a
                `JobNodeError`, the same shape as a job's `error.node_errors`,
                whether the refusal came at submit (for example
                `unknown_node_class`, a node class the deployment's build does
                not contain) or from ComfyUI after dispatch. With
                `unknown_node_class` errors it carries `unknown_node_classes`,
                the missing classes; with `waits_for_browser` errors,
                `browser_wait_node_classes`, the classes that wait for a
                browser. A submit refusal names at most fifty nodes. For
                `invalid_node`, `invalid_inputs` and `invalid_class_type`, when
                it found more than fifty, `node_errors_truncated` is true and
                `malformed_node_count` carries the full count; for
                `waits_for_browser`, `browser_wait_node_count` does. For
                `unknown_node_class` it names only nodes whose class is one of
                the at most ten listed in `unknown_node_classes`; when those
                nodes number more than fifty, `node_errors_truncated` is true
                and `unknown_node_count` is how many nodes have a listed class.
                Nodes whose class is past those ten are neither named nor

        `Retry-After`. Every operation at a deployment's address can answer this
        way. A job submit can also answer this 503 with `database_unavailable`:
        the job could not be saved just now and nothing was started, so the same
        request can be sent again after `Retry-After`. No other operation
        answers `database_unavailable`. On Comfy Cloud an asset upload can also
        answer this 503 with `upload_busy`: the server is busy with other
        uploads and nothing was stored, so the same upload can be sent again
        after `Retry-After`. Any operation can also answer this 503 with

        can also answer it with `output_unavailable`: an output of the job could
        not be prepared just now, and the job is unchanged. A transient storage
        failure clears on a later read after `Retry-After`; an output whose
        stored address is broken answers it on every read until the platform
        repairs the output.

        `Authorization: Bearer <credential>`. The credential is one of: an
        account-scoped API key (`comfyui-…`), accepted on Cloud and serverless;
        a Comfy Cloud session JWT; or an OAuth access token issued for the Comfy
        Cloud resource. Which kinds a given deployment accepts is deployment
        configuration — an API key always works on Cloud and serverless, and a
        deployment that does not accept JWT bearers answers `401` with a message
        saying so. Self-hosted accepts unauthenticated requests by default and
        can be configured with a static bearer token.
