Ansible Tower REST API: Is there any way to get the logs/output of a job?

I have a Ansible job started by another Process. Now I need to check the status of the current running job in Ansible Tower.

I am able to track the status whether it is running/success/failed/canceled with /jobs/{id} using REST API.

But I would also need the information of the console logs/ouputs of the task for processing as well. Is there any direct API call for the same?

You can do this via their restful call. To get the job number use a GET against https://yourtowerinstance/api/v2/job_templates/ this will return your templates, and their IDs

To get the output in real time I use this powershell code

    $stdouturl = "https://yourtowerinstance/api/v2/jobs/$($templateResult.id)/stdout/?format=txt"

$resultstd = Invoke-Restmethod -uri $stdouturl -Method 'Get' -Headers $authHeader
while ($resultstd -notmatch 'PLAY RECAP') {
    $resultstd = Invoke-Restmethod -uri $stdouturl -Method 'Get' -Headers $authHeader
    start-sleep -s 5
}
$resultstd
