# Get query spec results (async)

Submit an assessment query specification for asynchronous execution, returning full result rows.

This is the async equivalent of [Get query spec results](/4yItIzMvkpAvMVFAamTf/developers/api/query-builder/getassessmentqueryspecresult.md), for queries that may take longer than the synchronous request timeout allows.

The response contains an `AsyncTask` with a task ID. Poll the task using `GetAssessmentAsyncTask` until `state` reaches `COMPLETE` (3), then check `status` for `SUCCEEDED` (1) or `FAILED` (2).

{% endopenapi %}

### Workflow

1. Submit the query using this endpoint. The request body uses the same `GetAssessmentQuerySpecResultRequest` as the synchronous endpoint.
2. The response includes an `AsyncTask` with an `id` field.
3. Poll the task status using [GetAssessmentAsyncTask](/4yItIzMvkpAvMVFAamTf/developers/api/query-builder/getassessmentasynctask.md) (`GET /api/v1/assessments/async_tasks/{id}`).
4. When `state` = `3` (COMPLETE) and `status` = `1` (SUCCEEDED), the `result` field contains the query output.

### AsyncTask state and status values

**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   |
| 2     | FAILED          | See `error_reason` |
| 3     | CANCELED        | Task was canceled  |

### Migration note

Several fields on `GetAssessmentQuerySpecResultRequest` are deprecated. Use `relates_to_exp` instead of `destination_node_types`, `required_intermediate_node_types`, `avoided_intermediate_node_types`, `raw_permissions`, `effective_permissions`, and `no_relation`.
