# GetDocumentStatus

Returns the status of a document.

Type: synchronous

Parameter Name | Description
--- | ---
`reference` | The reference of the document that you want to retrieve the status for. For example, if the document was retrieved by the File System Connector the reference is a file path. If the document was retrieved by a Web Connector, the reference is a URL.

## Response

The following XML is a sample response:

    <autnresponse xmlns:autn="http://schemas.autonomy.com/aci/">
      <action>GETDOCUMENTSTATUS</action>
      <response>SUCCESS</response>
      <responsedata>
        <statuses>
          <status>Awaiting indexing.</status>
        </statuses>
      </responsedata>
    </autnresponse>

The `status` element can contain one of the following values:

- `Awaiting import.`
- `Awaiting indexing.`
- `Indexing complete.` - This status does not guarantee that a document is available from the Content component. The document could be queued for indexing, for example.
- `Unknown reference, or one still in the async queue, or one finished indexing sufficiently long ago.` - CFS cannot report the status of a document if the document is waiting in the ingest action queue or if the document was indexed a long time ago. (To avoid unreasonable memory use, CFS keeps a list of the last 100,000 references in the "Indexing complete" state).
