The purpose of this call is to allow the user to ascertain the status of various asynchronous API calls that are available in Pinpointe's API call stack, such as:
- list-GetListSubscribersAsync
- news-GetNewsletterContactDataSummaryAsync
- seg-GetSegmentSubscribersAsync
- tag-GetTagSubscribersAsync
Asynchronous calls should be used when the user is targeting what is likely to be a large dataset. As such, and given the nature of asynchronous processing, the processing time for these calls can be relatively long. The api-asyncjobstatus call will return the status of a given call based on a job ID.
