To handle this properly, implementing a loop that periodically polls the job status until it changes to "completed" or "failed". updated version of the polling logic:

import time

# Poll job status until it's no longer "pending"
while True:
    status_response = requests.get(f"https://api.example.com/jobs/{job_id}/status", headers=headers).json()
    status = status_response["status"]
    print("Job status:", status)

    if status in ["completed", "failed"]:
        break

    time.sleep(5)  # Wait for 5 seconds before polling again

This way, the script keeps checking the job status at regular intervals and exits the loop once the job is done.
