# Get Output Progress

`GET /outputs/{output_id}/progress`

Get the progress of processing for an output file. The current_event_progress number is the percent complete of the current event – so if the event is Transcoding, and current_event_progress is 99.3421, then the file is almost finished transcoding, but hasn't started uploading yet.

The progress number is the overall percentage of completion for the output. The progress number is the percent complete of the current event – so if the event is Transcoding, and progress is 99.3421, then the file is almost finished transcoding, but hasn't started Uploading yet.

- `waiting`
- `queued`
- `assigning`
- `processing`
- `finished`
- `failed`
- `cancelled`
- `no input`
- `skipped`

Events include:
