Project instantiation job timeouts

English Forum Developers & API

Dear All,

I’m using the asana api to instantiate new projects from a project_template. The API returns an corresponding job and creates the new project asynchronously.

I need wait for the job to finish as I need the created project in my application before i can continue, so I’m required to poll the job status.

Question: How long can a job stay in not_started or in_progress state before it fails?

Or is there another option to synchronously create a new project?

In our Flowsana integration, I’m not aware of any cases where I’ve seen it fail or timeout. It ultimately returns the completion state once it does finish being created. FWIW we poll every 15 seconds.
