If you go for Asynchronous, you can use getSessionStatus. Parameters are ODI user, password, work repository name and session id(s) (you can retrieve the status for multiple session at one time I think).
Hope it helps,

The request payload is like this:-
<OdiStartScenRequest>
<Credentials>
<OdiUser>odi_user</OdiUser>
<OdiPassword>odi_password</OdiPassword>
<WorkRepository>work_repository</WorkRepository>
</Credentials>
<Request>
<ScenarioName>scenario_name</ScenarioName>
<ScenarioVersion>scenario_version</ScenarioVersion>
<Context>context</Context>
<LogLevel>log_level</LogLevel>
*<Synchronous>synchronous</Synchronous>*
<SessionName>session_name</SessionName>
<Keywords>session_name</Keywords>
<Variables>
<Name>variable_name</name>
<Value>variable_value</Value>
</Variables>
</Request>
</OdiStartScenRequest>
Now my question is for *<Synchronous>synchronous</Synchronous>* element what I have to write:-
<Synchronous>synchronous</Synchronous>
or
<Synchronous>Synchronous=1</Synchronous>
or
<Synchronous>1</Synchronous>
