# Validation Status

The validation status endpoint allows you to check the progress of a list previously uploaded through the bulk validation API.

Once processing is complete, the response includes a link to download the results as a `.csv` file.

## When to Use This Endpoint

* After uploading a list via the bulk upload API
* To monitor validation progress (queued, processing, completed)
* To retrieve the final downloadable results file

<Note>
  This endpoint works only for lists uploaded through the bulk API.\
  Dashboard uploads do not return an API-accessible status.
</Note>
