translation jobs - Is there an api/a possibility it to get its data?

Question

First of all - Hello Everyone! - joined the community just recently 
 Everything is fresh for me here right now. Apologies for any mistakes with addressing the question or if similar question was asked in the past and I did not catch it. ;) 
 
 So, yes, as the subject title says, I am wondering if I could get the translation jobs data to make my own internal calculations and statistics based on this. By 'get' I mean by for example REST api, JSON would be the perfect solution for me But of course, If not - is there any other way to get the translation jobs data in format like csv or xml? 
 Many thanks for feedback!

Hi Michal, The TranslationJob objects and information are available through the API layer of SDL Tridion Docs. The following section in our documentation portal: https://docs.sdl.com/806356/201162/sdl-tridion-docs-14-sp3/translationjob-2-5 shows the available functions. 
 The SOAP interface is using XML structures to communicate the parameters back and forth. Each function is described in the docs portal as well as some hints around working with the API layer ( https://docs.sdl.com/806356/242920/sdl-tridion-docs-14-sp3/basic-concepts-when-using-the-web-services-api ) 
 I hope this helps you already with finding what is possible and using it to meet your requirement(s). 
 Kind Regards, 
 Raf

Hi Michal, The psXMLRequestedMetadata property should always (in all API calls that it can be applied) contain an empty list of fields that you would like to retrieve for the object type. So the ishfield definition needs to point to a field existing on the object that you are querying (on the level that you are refering to). So given your sample above the structure should read like: In order to know which name/level combinations are valid for which object types, you can use the ISHRemote powershell library. Executing the following commands from it will present all of the available fields with their respective levels for the different object types. 1/ New-IshSession -wsBaseUrl "">yourmachineurl/ISHWS" -PSCredentials Get-Credentials (provide in the prompted login box username and password to connect towards SDL Tridion Docs 2/ Query for the fields defined by the object types using Get-IshTypeFieldDefintion | out-gridview (this will build the list and make it available in a filterable and sortable grid. See screenshot below. I hope this helps, Raf
