# Get URL import job

Get the status and results of a URL import job, including the imported design.

Gets the result of a URL import job created using the [Create URL import job API](https://www.canva.dev/docs/apps/rest-apis/reference/design-imports/create-url-import-job/).

You might need to make multiple requests to this endpoint until you get a `success` or `failed` status. For more information on the workflow for using asynchronous jobs, see [API requests and responses](https://www.canva.dev/docs/apps/rest-apis/requests-responses/#asynchronous-job-endpoints).

## HTTP method and URL path

GET https\://api.canva.com/rest/v1/url-imports/\{jobId}

This operation is rate limited to 120 requests per minute for each user of your app.

## Authentication and authorization

This endpoint requires a valid access token that acts on behalf of a user. For more information, see [Generate an access token](/docs/apps/rest-apis/reference/authentication/generate-access-token).

### Scopes

The access token must have all the following [scopes](/docs/apps/rest-apis/scopes) (permissions):

* `design:content:write`

## Header parameters

<Prop.List>
  <Prop name="Authorization" type="string" required>
    Provides credentials to authenticate the request, in the form of a `Bearer` token.

    For example: `Authorization: Bearer {token}`
  </Prop>
</Prop.List>

## Path parameters

<Prop.List>
  <Prop name="jobId" type="string" required>
    The ID of the URL import job.
  </Prop>
</Prop.List>
