​
Poll a Single Job

Fetch the current state of a job at any time with GET /jobs/:id. 
curl -X GET https://api.nexrender.com/api/v2/jobs/01JTRDF7HCR8QAHYW8GPCP4S9Y \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

​
List Jobs

Use GET /jobs to fetch multiple jobs at once, with optional filters for status, date range, and sort order. 
curl -X GET "https://api.nexrender.com/api/v2/jobs?states=queued,render:dorender&limit=50&sort=oldest_first" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Query Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
statesstringComma-separated list of statuses to include (e.g. queued,finished)
exclude_statesstringComma-separated list of statuses to exclude
fromintegerPagination offset (0-indexed)
limitintegerMax jobs to return (1-1000)

to_datestringFilter jobs created before this ISO 8601 date
sortstringoldest_first (default), newest_first, random, or priority
tagsstringComma-separated tags to filter by
minimalbooleanReturn stripped-down job objects (excludes stats and assets) for faster responses
Rather than polling, configure a webhook on the job to receive a notification the moment rendering completes or fails. 
{
  "template": { "id": "YOUR_TEMPLATE_ID", "composition": "main" },
  "webhook": {
    "url": "https://yourdomain.com/webhooks/render-complete"
  }
}
Nexrender will POST the full job payload to your endpoint when the job reaches a terminal state. 
{
  "id": "01JTRDF7HCR8QAHYW8GPCP4S9Y",
  "status": "finished",
  "outputUrl": "https://nx1-outputs-eu.nexrender.com/.../job.mp4",
  "stats": {
    "finishedAt": "2025-08-14T08:01:10.304Z",
    "renderDuration": 22.304
  }
}
Your webhook endpoint must return a 2xx response. Make it idempotent - Nexrender retries failed deliveries up to 3 times with exponential backoff.

​
Webhook Retry Logic

If your server is unavailable or returns a non-2xx response, Nexrender retries delivery up to 3 times with exponential backoff. To maximise reliability:
  • Respond with 200 OK immediately and process the payload asynchronously
  • Keep response time under 2 seconds to avoid timeout-triggered retries
  • Log all incoming webhook payloads for auditability
