# Get Transaction State

After initiating an instant sell, you should fetch the transaction to know the current status. Make a **GET** request to the following endpoint.

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```url
https://api.localramp.co/v1/transaction/swap/status/:reference
```

{% endcode %}

With the following header

```
x-auth-token: <SECRET_KEY>
```

If the API call is successful, LocalRamp returns the following response:

```javascript
{
    "status": "success",
    "data": {
        "reference": "unique-ref",
        "state": "completed",
        "from_amount": "0.038058405",
        "from_currency": "BTC",
        "to_amount": "0.12345",
        "to_currency": "LTC"
    }
}
```

The possible `state`'s are  <mark style="color:orange;">`pending`</mark> and <mark style="color:green;">`completed`</mark>

**pending** -  This means we are still processing the swap transaction

**completed** - This means that the transaction has been completed
