# StartNextPendingJobExecution


Gets and starts the next pending (status IN\$1PROGRESS or QUEUED) job execution for a thing.

Requires permission to access the [StartNextPendingJobExecution](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/service-authorization/latest/reference/list_awsiot.html#awsiot-actions-as-permissions) action.

## Request Syntax


```
PUT /things/thingName/jobs/$next HTTP/1.1
Content-type: application/json

{
   "statusDetails": { 
      "string" : "string" 
   },
   "stepTimeoutInMinutes": number
}
```

## URI Request Parameters


The request uses the following URI parameters.

 ** [thingName](#API_iot-jobs-data_StartNextPendingJobExecution_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="iot-iot-jobs-data_StartNextPendingJobExecution-request-uri-thingName"></a>
The name of the thing associated with the device.  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.  
Pattern: `[a-zA-Z0-9:_-]+`   
Required: Yes

## Request Body


The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

 ** [statusDetails](#API_iot-jobs-data_StartNextPendingJobExecution_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="iot-iot-jobs-data_StartNextPendingJobExecution-request-statusDetails"></a>
A collection of name/value pairs that describe the status of the job execution. If not specified, the statusDetails are unchanged.  
The maximum length of the value in the name/value pair is 1,024 characters.  
Type: String to string map  
Key Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.  
Key Pattern: `[a-zA-Z0-9:_-]+`   
Value Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1.  
Value Pattern: `[^\p{C}]+`   
Required: No

 ** [stepTimeoutInMinutes](#API_iot-jobs-data_StartNextPendingJobExecution_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="iot-iot-jobs-data_StartNextPendingJobExecution-request-stepTimeoutInMinutes"></a>
Specifies the amount of time this device has to finish execution of this job. If the job execution status is not set to a terminal state before this timer expires, or before the timer is reset (by calling `UpdateJobExecution`, setting the status to `IN_PROGRESS`, and specifying a new timeout value in field `stepTimeoutInMinutes`) the job execution status will be automatically set to `TIMED_OUT`. Note that setting the step timeout has no effect on the in progress timeout that may have been specified when the job was created (`CreateJob` using field `timeoutConfig`).  
Valid values for this parameter range from 1 to 10080 (1 minute to 7 days).  
Type: Long  
Required: No
