# Retrieve an Assembly Status

GET`https://api2.transloadit.com/assemblies/{ASSEMBLY_ID}`

In the response after creating an Assembly you will find a field: `assembly_ssl_url`. You can poll this URL every few seconds (or what is a sensible interval for your use case) to get the latest Assembly Status. Alternatively, you can subscribe to the[updates stream](/docs/api/assemblies-assembly-id-stream-get.md) to receive live notification about how the Assembly is progressing.

The `assembly_ssl_url` will contain the machine name responsible for managing the Assembly. It knows in realtime how many bytes have been uploaded. An example URL would be:`<https://api2>**-jane**.transloadit.com/assemblies/{ASSEMBLY_ID}`.

Due to scaling algorithms we cycle though machines quickly, so you can also fall back to removing the machine name and using: `https://api2.transloadit.com/assemblies/{ASSEMBLY_ID}`. This will also get you the Assembly Status.

This request can be issued by anyone who knows the `assembly_ssl_url`. Hence, make sure to not share your `assembly_ssl_url`s or `assembly_id`s with anybody. More on this in our FAQ under:[Are Assembly IDs secure?](/docs/faq/uuid.md)

###### Note

There is a rate limit implemented that will return a`ASSEMBLY_STATUS_FETCHING_RATE_LIMIT_REACHED` error when you send more than 3 Assembly status requests for the same Assembly ID per second.
