# Retrieve an import

`GET https://app.stoqapp.com/api/v2/external/account/imports/{id}`

Read one CSV import: its state (queued, running, stalled, failed, completed) and row progress.

**Note:** state is queued (accepted, waiting in the job queue for a worker), running (rows are finishing), stalled (nothing moved for stall_after_seconds; stalled_reason not_started means it never left the queue, no_progress means it started and stopped), failed or completed. A queued import with rows_done 0 is waiting, not broken: when the queue is busy an import can wait several minutes before its first row. Stalled imports are retried automatically within about 10 minutes. rows_done = rows_succeeded + rows_failed; a completed import can have failed rows (bad SKU, invalid email). Timestamps are UTC; waited_seconds is the time from created_at to started_at (or until now while queued), idle_seconds the time since anything last moved. state=open lists every import not yet completed or failed.
