# SpecialCollectionsRequestJob Class Reference

`from PyKDE4.akonadi import *`

Inherits: Akonadi.TransactionSequence → Akonadi.Job → KCompositeJob → KJob → QObject
Namespace: Akonadi

## Detailed Description

A job to request SpecialCollections.

Use this job to request the SpecialCollections you need. You can request both default SpecialCollections and SpecialCollections in a given resource. The default SpecialCollections resource is created when the first default SpecialCollection is requested, but if a SpecialCollection in a custom resource is requested, this job expects that resource to exist already.

If the folders you requested already exist, this job simply succeeds. Otherwise, it creates the required collections and registers them with SpecialCollections.

This class is not meant to be used directly but as a base class for type specific special collection request jobs.
