# Bulk import status list

> 🧠 Add a short delay between creating a bulk import and calling for it's status
>
> If this endpoint is called *immediately* (less than a second) after a bulk import call, the `status` in the return may be `false` (a boolean), because the system has not yet set a status on the batch.

After using the `POST` endpoint to send bulk data, you can use this endpoint to monitor progress. This endpoint only returns aggregate progress data.  The response is a JSON map of daily summaries of `outstanding` and `recentlyCompleted` batch jobs. Recently completed is a rolling window of the last seven days.

If you want specific details, register for a `callback` when sending the bulk job OR save the `batchId` and use the `info` endpoint.

```json GET /import/bulk_import (Example RESPONSE)
{
  "outstanding":[
    {"forDate":"2021-06-01","batches":"333","contacts":"83250"}
  ],
  "recentlyCompleted":[
    {"forDate":"2021-06-01","batches":"17","contacts":"4250"},
    {"forDate":"2021-06-02","batches":"50","contacts":"12500"}
  ]
}
```
