# Get async task status

Fetches the current status and result of a generic async task by ID.

Use this endpoint to poll async operations that return a `job_id` or task ID (for example, `SyncRisksOwnerFromGraphAsync` or `EvaluateReportAsync`).

For typed query results from [Create async query from query spec (nodes)](/4yItIzMvkpAvMVFAamTf/developers/api/query-builder/createqueryspecnodesasync.md), use [Get async query results (nodes)](/4yItIzMvkpAvMVFAamTf/developers/api/query-builder/getqueryspecnodesasync.md) instead.

### Path parameter

| Parameter | Description                                                    |
| --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `id`      | The async task ID returned by the originating async operation. |

### Polling workflow

1. Submit an async operation (e.g., [Get query spec results async](/4yItIzMvkpAvMVFAamTf/developers/api/query-builder/getassessmentqueryspecresultasync.md)).
2. Copy the `task.id` from the response.
3. Poll `GET /api/v1/assessments/async_tasks/{id}` until `state` = `"COMPLETE"`.
4. Check `status` to determine the outcome.

### AsyncTask state and status values

The API returns string enum names in JSON responses. The numeric values are shown for reference only.

**State** (task lifecycle):

| Value | Name            | Description               |
| ----- | --------------- | ------------------------- |
| 0     | `UNKNOWN_STATE` | Default/unset             |
| 1     | `PENDING`       | Queued, not yet started   |
| 2     | `IN_PROGRESS`   | Executing                 |
| 3     | `COMPLETE`      | Finished (check `status`) |

**Status** (outcome when complete):

| Value | Name             | Description                           |
| ----- | ---------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| 0     | `UNKNOWN_STATUS` | Default/unset                         |
| 1     | `SUCCEEDED`      | Result available in `result` field    |
| 2     | `FAILED`         | See `error_reason` and `error_status` |
| 3     | `CANCELED`       | Task was canceled before completion   |
