Python request : download when status complete

Question

I have to write a script to catch some info in an API with python It looks like this post Tell when Job is Complete but without Kubernetes stuff

I have a json format like this :

[{'name': 'E56a, character.',
'results': '*some url link*',
'status': 'Complete',
'token': 'qFTDHYiuf514oz'}]

When I submit my job, the status is 'running' until it finished and became 'complete' but It last about one hour and depend on the file I want to submit to the website ... I wanted to know how can write in my script something that will allow me to download result when the status key is completed?

Thanks

You can write an infinite loop that checks every 60 seconds (you can change the interval) if the job is ready:

import time
while True:
    if job["status"] == "Completed":
        download_results() # implement here your logic
        break
    else:
        print("Job is not ready, waiting...")
        time.sleep(60) # you can change the check interval
