# Get crawl status

> Poll a running or finished crawl job.

```http theme={null}
GET https://v2-api.scrapegraphai.com/api/crawl/:id
```

Returns progress and lightweight per-page metadata for a crawl job started with [`POST /api/crawl`](/api-reference/endpoint/crawl/start). Use [`GET /api/crawl/:id/pages`](/api-reference/endpoint/crawl/pages) to fetch paginated pages with resolved scrape results.

## Path parameters

<ParamField path="id" type="string" required>
  The crawl job UUID returned by `POST /api/crawl`.
</ParamField>

## Example request

```bash theme={null}
curl -X GET https://v2-api.scrapegraphai.com/api/crawl/79694e03-f2ea-43f2-93cc-7c6fc26f999a \
  -H "SGAI-APIKEY: $SGAI_API_KEY"
```

## Example response

```json theme={null}
{
  "id": "79694e03-f2ea-43f2-93cc-7c6fc26f999a",
  "status": "completed",
  "total": 3,
  "finished": 1,
  "pages": [
    {
      "url": "https://example.com",
      "depth": 0,
      "title": "",
      "status": "completed",
      "parentUrl": null,
      "contentType": "text/html",
      "links": ["https://iana.org/domains/example"],
      "scrapeRefId": "83a911ed-c0bc-4a8c-ad62-8efeeb93f33a"
    }
  ]
}
```

| Field                 | Description                                             |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| `status`              | `"running"`, `"completed"`, `"failed"`, or `"stopped"`. |
| `total` / `finished`  | Progress counters.                                      |
| `pages[]`             | Lightweight per-page metadata, ordered by crawl time.   |
| `pages[].scrapeRefId` | UUID of the underlying Scrape call.                     |

<Note>
  Poll at a reasonable cadence (every 1–5 seconds) until `status` is `"completed"`, `"failed"`, or `"stopped"`. Or use [Monitor](/services/monitor) with a webhook to avoid polling entirely.
</Note>

## Fetching page content

The status response intentionally stays lightweight for polling. Use [`GET /api/crawl/:id/pages`](/api-reference/endpoint/crawl/pages) to fetch crawl pages with the underlying scrape result resolved into each page:

```bash theme={null}
curl -X GET "https://v2-api.scrapegraphai.com/api/crawl/79694e03-f2ea-43f2-93cc-7c6fc26f999a/pages?limit=50&cursor=0" \
  -H "SGAI-APIKEY: $SGAI_API_KEY"
```

The response is `{ data, pagination }`, where each `data[]` item includes crawl metadata and a `scrape` payload when available.
