Translating drawing through API

I am wondering if there is a way to have a translation post request for a drawing only return results when the translation status is "DONE"? For now, it seems I need to call the translation, and then I call the status of the translation and keep calling it in a loop until the status is "DONE". Then I use the id from that status call to call out a stream of the file. This would be a lot simpler if the initial translation call waited to return results until the translation was "DONE".

Because the translation endpoint is a bit of a catch all, there are scenarios where that wouldn't work.
Sure a drawing is pretty quick to translate, but the same endpoint can be used to export a 1,000 part assembly in fine detail. A process like that would exceed the request timeout before finishing.
It probably isn't what you want, but there is a way to register a webhook to receive a notification when a translation is complete.
