Returns the current state of an export job. Poll this until `status` is
`success`, `failure` or `cancelled`.

## Path parameters

## Response `200`

The export job.

- ExportJob
  - `jobId` string, uuid
  - `createdAt` string, date-time
  - `connection` string — Name of the connection. Falls back to its identifier if the connection has since been deleted.
  - `source` string
  - `format` 'geoparquet' | 'geojson' | 'shapefile' | 'geopackage' | 'csv' | 'tab' | 'kml' | 'kmz'

  - `error` string — Empty string when the job hasn't failed.
