# WhatsApp check status

> Reconcile a WhatsApp check using its operation ID. Rate limit: No endpoint-specific GET throttle.

Read a WhatsApp check in the authenticated workspace using the returned `operation_id`. This read-only lookup has no request body and does not start another check or charge additional credits. There is no endpoint-specific GET throttle.

## Reading the result

* HTTP `200` with `status: "completed"`, `whatsapp`, and `credits_consumed: 1` confirms a definitive result. The phone number is not returned.
* HTTP `202` with `status: "pending"` or `"unknown"` means the outcome is not yet confirmed. Poll with bounded backoff; do not infer a yes/no result or final charge.
* HTTP `200` with `status: "unavailable"` or `"rejected"` reports a terminal operation state without a WhatsApp result or credit amount.
* A completed state without result fields does not confirm a definitive result.
* HTTP `404` means the operation was not found in this workspace.

## Next step

Return to [WhatsApp checker](/api-reference/miscale-news/whatsapp-check). Keep the original idempotency key when reconciling the same logical check.

        This lookup does not start another check or charge credits. A completed
        result omits the phone; unavailable and rejected are terminal states
        returned with HTTP 200. Pending or unknown states return HTTP 202.
