# Getters

When jobs are added to a queue, they will be in different statuses during their lifetime. BullMQ provides methods to retrieve information and jobs from the different statuses.

#### Job Counts

It is often necessary to know how many jobs are in a given status:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="TypeScript" %}

```typescript
import { Queue } from 'bullmq';

const myQueue = new Queue('Paint');

const counts = await myQueue.getJobCounts('wait', 'completed', 'failed');

// Returns an object like this { wait: number, completed: number, failed: number }
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Python" %}

```python
from bullmq import Queue

myQueue = Queue('Paint')

counts = await myQueue.getJobCounts('wait', 'completed', 'failed')

# Returns an object like this { wait: number, completed: number, failed: number }
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Rust" %}

```rust
use bullmq::{Queue, QueueOptions};

let queue = Queue::new("Paint", QueueOptions::default()).await?;

let counts = queue.get_job_counts().await?;
// counts.waiting, counts.completed, counts.failed, counts.active, etc.
println!("waiting: {}, completed: {}, failed: {}", counts.waiting, counts.completed, counts.failed);
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

The available status are:

* *completed*,
* *failed*,
* *delayed*,
* *active*,
* *wait*,
* *waiting-children*,
* *prioritized*,
* *paused*, and
* *repeat*.

#### Get Jobs

It is also possible to retrieve the jobs with pagination style semantics. For example:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="TypeScript" %}

```typescript
const completed = await myQueue.getJobs(['completed'], 0, 100, true);

// returns the oldest 100 jobs
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Python" %}

```python
completed = await myQueue.getJobs(['completed'], 0, 100, True)

# returns the oldest 100 jobs
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Rust" %}

```rust
// get_jobs is not yet available in the Rust API.
// Use get_job(id) to fetch individual jobs by ID:
let job = queue.get_job("some-job-id").await?;
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
