# Get Job Metadata

> Get the full metadata blob for a job.

Returns the JSON contents of the job's ``metadata.json.gz`` blob in the
``job-files`` Supabase Storage bucket. API clients use this to access
fields that are too large for the ``result`` column — for example, the
``validation_results`` and ``validation_plot_config`` payloads written by
pipeline validation jobs.
