# Document conversion job status

GET https://api.uploadcare.com/convert/document/status/{token}/

Once you get a conversion job result, you can acquire a conversion job status via token. Just put it in your request URL as `:token`.

Reference: https://uploadcare.com/docs/api/rest/conversion/document-convert-status

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (required) — Every request made to `https://api.uploadcare.com/` MUST be signed. HTTPS SHOULD be used with any authorization scheme. Requests MUST contain the `Authorization` header defining `auth-scheme` and `auth-param`: `Authorization: auth-scheme auth-param`. Every request MUST contain the `Accept` header identifying the REST API version: `Accept: application/vnd.uploadcare-v0.7+json`. There are two available authorization schemes: * For production: `Uploadcare`, a scheme where a `signature`, not your Secret API Key MUST be specified. Signatures SHOULD be generated on backend. * For quick tests: `Uploadcare.Simple`, a simple scheme where your [Secret API Key](https://app.uploadcare.com/projects/-/api-keys/) MUST be specified in every request's `auth-param`.
