# Get Result

`GET /reference_check/tasks/{task_id}`

Retrieve reference check job status.

This allows both fetching the job result and polling for job completion.

Whilst the job is in progress its status will be either
`PENDING` or `STARTED`.

Once the job is complete its status will be `SUCCESS` and
the result can be read under the `result` key of this response.

## Path parameters

- `task_id` string, required

## Headers

- `authorization` string — Set to `Bearer <token>` to pass token for authorization.
