### Example input

```json

  "department_id": "60966"
}
```

## Response

Successful output is returned in `results[0].data`. Raw platform output is intentionally open-ended and may evolve with the upstream source.

### Illustrative sample output

This redacted fixture is an example, not a fixed response schema.

```json
{
  "board": "airbnb",
  "department": {
    "child_ids": [
      "85549",
      "73701",
      "73703"
    ],
    "id": "60966",
    "job_count": 0,
    "name": "1. Technical"
  }
}
```
### Illustrative output fields

Derived from the sample above for orientation only. These fields are not a fixed response schema.

| Path | Observed type | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `board` | `string` | airbnb |
| `department` | `object` | 4 fields |
| `department.child_ids` | `array` | 3 items |
| `department.id` | `string` | 60966 |
| `department.job_count` | `integer` | 0 |
| `department.name` | `string` | 1. Technical |

## Execution behavior

A `200` response completed inline. A `202` response was queued; poll `GET /jobs/{id}` until the job reaches `completed` or `failed`. Use an `Idempotency-Key` when retrying must not create a duplicate logical job.
