# Sample Checkpoints

`GET /checkpoints`

Retrieve a **sample of** all checkpoints currently in the database, in descending `slot_no` order.
This is useful to know where the synchronization is at. On restart, the synchronization will continue from the most recent
checkpoints that is also valid on the network.

## Response `200`

OK

## Other responses

- `304` — Not Modified Returned when a `If-None-Match` request header matches the current `ETag` for the response. This is meant to provide efficient caching and polling. The `ETag` corresponds to the most recent block header hash processed by Kupo.
