Is there a Service M8 API which retrieves Admin Time logged against a particular job?

Cheers.

Hi Anthony,

Admin Time is recorded automatically against each job, and it’s currently something we show inside the job card (rather than a value you can retrieve via the REST API).

You can view it by opening the job and going to the Quotes and Invoicing tab, then clicking the Admin Time total to see the breakdown by staff member and day:

> **[What is 'Admin Time' and how does it work? - ServiceM8 Help Center](https://support.servicem8.com/help-center/desktop/faq/what-is-admin-time-and-how-does-it-work)**
>
> Understand what 'Admin Time' and how does it work is and how it works in ServiceM8.

For reference, the REST API “Retrieve a Job” endpoint (GET /job/{uuid}.json) returns the Job fields defined in the Job schema (for example: status, job\_description, total\_invoice\_amount), and Admin Time isn’t listed as a field in that schema:

> **[Retrieve a Job](https://developer.servicem8.com/reference/getjobs)**

If you need Admin Time available via API for an integration, use the Help menu in the Online Dashboard to contact Support via chat or email.

Thanks,
