When you do a GET for the https://localhost:8089/services/search/jobs endpoint you should get a list of all current running dispatch jobs. More detail information can be found at http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/RESTAPI/RESTsearches#REST_endpoints_for_searches

note that if it's a job id for a search that you're dispatching yourself, the sid value is itself returned from the dispatch POST and you can just use that.
