When embedding Census, your customers will be interested in seeing the status of their sync runs. Typically, apps that embed Census will show statuses like “Running” or “Completed”, along with information about sync progress. Our product docs cover the different data points and their meanings.
Each of the pieces of information in the image above is retrievable via API. To fetch the latest sync run for a given sync configuration, query the List Sync Runs endpoint with the per_page: 1. This will return the most recent sync run. The response for the sync run will look like
