# Import status: running/complete/failed (provider errors verbatim)

`GET /preview/nodes/{name}/imports/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://autoresearch.sfcompute.com`
- URL: `https://autoresearch.sfcompute.com/preview/nodes/{name}/imports/{id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Status of an import (import_data): "running" (with bytes_transferred and files_done/files_total when the provider enumerates up front), "complete" ({total_bytes, files, dest_path}), or "failed" with the provider's real error relayed verbatim - an auth failure names the connection so a human can fix it (autor connection get <name> shows what to repair); a missing object is the provider's own 404, not ours. A transfer that breaks mid-object resumes itself with a ranged re-read from the byte that landed rather than restarting the file, so one upstream hiccup no longer costs a multi-hour transfer its progress; bytes_transferred stays monotonic across that. Status checks never wake a stopped node; an import interrupted by node stop or worker loss reports "failed" honestly and is safe to re-run (re-call import_data; completed files are overwritten, never doubled, and a file that failed part-way is kept as <name>.part rather than published truncated).

## Path parameters

- `name` string, required: Node name (from `list_nodes`).
- `id` string, required: Import id from import_data (e.g. "imp-4kd93").

## Query parameters

- `workspace` string

## Response `200`

The capability's JSON result.

- Result: The capability's result: the same object the MCP tool returns as structuredContent. Resources carry an `object` type discriminator and an immutable id; money is integer micro-dollars in `*_usd_micros` fields.
  - `object` string: The resource type, when the result is one resource.

## Other responses

- `400`: Malformed request: bad JSON, a parameter that does not parse, or a value outside its range. Code `invalid`.
- `401`: No bearer token, or one this API cannot verify. Code `unauthenticated`.
- `403`: Authenticated, but the token's scopes or the account's role do not reach this operation. The message names the scope word to request. Code `forbidden`.
- `404`: No such route. Code `not_found`; the body names the OpenAPI document.
- `422`: A well-formed request the platform declined: no such node, a cap reached, a state that forbids the move. The message says which, and what to do instead. Code `refused`.
- `429`: Over this door's per-customer budget. Wait `Retry-After` seconds. Code `rate_limited`.
- `500`: Our fault. Retry; if it persists, quote the request-id. Code `internal`.
