## Response Elements
If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.
The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.
** [jobs](#API_DescribeJobs_ResponseSyntax) **
The list of jobs.
Type: Array of [JobDetail](API_JobDetail.md) objects
## Errors
** ClientException **
These errors are usually caused by a client action. One example cause is using an action or resource on behalf of a user that doesn't have permissions to use the action or resource. Another cause is specifying an identifier that's not valid.
HTTP Status Code: 400
** ServerException **
These errors are usually caused by a server issue.
HTTP Status Code: 500
## Examples
In the following example or examples, the Authorization header contents (` [authorization-params] `) must be replaced with an AWS Signature Version 4 signature. For more information about creating these signatures, see [Signature Version 4 Signing Process](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-4.html) in the * AWS General Reference*.
You only need to learn how to sign HTTP requests if you intend to manually create them. When you use the [AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI)](http://aws.amazon.com/cli/) or one of the [AWS SDKs](http://aws.amazon.com/tools/) to make requests to AWS, these tools automatically sign the requests for you with the access key that you specify when you configure the tools. When you use these tools, you don't need to learn how to sign requests yourself.
### Example
This example describes a job with the specified job ID.
