The “Executions History” tab provides some very useful information about our jobs’ performance over time.

Is there a way to programmatically query this history?

Say I want to calculate the average run time of a job over the past several weeks. How would I do that?

I am running CloverETL Server 3.4.0.23M1.

Hello,

CloverETL Server offers a simple HTTP API which let you control the CloverETL Server from external applications using simple HTTP calls. Server’s HTTP API contains also operation named **executions\_history** which is ideal for your usage.

For more details about HTTP API and **executions\_history** operation, please see documentation here:
