# Get Registration Status

registrar.registration\_status.get(strdomain\_name, RegistrationStatusGetParams\*\*kwargs) -> [WorkflowStatus](<https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/python/resources/registrar#(resource)%20registrar%20%3E%20(model)%20workflow_status%20%3E%20(schema)>)

GET/accounts/{account\_id}/registrar/registrations/{domain\_name}/registration-status

Returns the current status of a domain registration workflow.

Use this endpoint to poll for completion when the POST response returned `202 Accepted`. The URL is provided in the `links.self` field of the workflow status response.

Poll this endpoint until the workflow reaches a terminal state or a state that requires user attention.

**Terminal states:** `succeeded` and `failed` are terminal and always have `completed: true`.

**Non-terminal states:**

- `action_required` has `completed: false` and will not resolve on its own. The workflow is paused pending user intervention.
- `blocked` has `completed: false` and indicates the workflow is waiting on a third party such as the extension registry or losing registrar. Continue polling while informing the user of the delay.

Use increasing backoff between polls. When `state: blocked`, use a longer polling interval and do not poll indefinitely.

A naive polling loop that only checks `completed` can run indefinitely when `state: action_required`. Break explicitly on `action_required`:

```js
let status;
do {
  await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 2000));
  status = await cloudflare.request({
    method: 'GET',
    path: reg.result.links.self,
  });
} while (
  !status.result.completed &&
  status.result.state !== 'action_required'
);

if (status.result.state === 'action_required') {
  // Surface context.action and context.confirmation_sent_to to the user.
  // Do not re-submit the registration request.
}
```

domain\_name: str

Provides a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), including the extension (e.g., `example.com`, `mybrand.app`). The domain name uniquely identifies a registration. Cloudflare permits only one registration per domain, making the domain name a natural idempotency key for registration requests.

<summary>

state: Literal\["pending", "in\_progress", "action\_required", 3 more]

Describes the workflow lifecycle state.

- <code>pending</code>: The workflow awaits processing.
- <code>in_progress</code>: Processing started. Continue polling <code>links.self</code>. An internal deadline limits the duration of this state.
- <code>action_required</code>: The workflow pauses for user action. See <code>context.action</code> for details. Stop automated polling until the user completes the required action.
- <code>blocked</code>: A third party, such as the domain extension’s registry or a losing registrar, prevents progress. Continue polling because the block may resolve when the third party responds.
- <code>succeeded</code>: Terminal state. The operation completed successfully. <code>completed</code> equals <code>true</code>. For registrations, <code>context.registration</code> contains the resulting registration resource.
- <code>failed</code>: Terminal state. The operation failed. <code>completed</code> equals <code>true</code>. See <code>error.code</code> and <code>error.message</code> for the reason. Require user review before retrying.
