# Check the card issuer link

`GET /get-card-issuer-status`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://laso.finance`
- URL: `https://laso.finance/get-card-issuer-status`
- Auth: API key in header `Authorization`

Reports whether this account has linked the card issuer, the one-time setup every reloadable card route needs first. Until it is linked, those routes answer `400` with `No card issuer account is linked to this wallet.`

`status` is one of `not_started`, `code_sent`, `linked`, or `kyc_required`. Linking is held to Laso identity verification, so an account that has not linked and is not verified reads `kyc_required`, with a `kyc_url` to hand the account holder.

**The account holder, never the agent, receives and enters the code.** Send your human to their own inbox (or phone) and have them type the code into your interface. Never try to read the account holder's email or messages yourself, and never ask for their email password or access.

**This route is free.**

## Response `200`

The link status.

- object
  - `status` 'not_started' | 'code_sent' | 'linked' | 'kyc_required', required: `not_started`: no link in progress. `code_sent`: a code is waiting for the account holder. `linked`: done. `kyc_required`: the account must complete Laso identity verification first.
  - `channel` 'email' | 'phone': `code_sent` only. Where the code went.
  - `sent_to` string: `code_sent` only. The destination, masked (e.g. `j***@e***.com`). The full address is never returned.
  - `expires_at` integer: `code_sent` only. When the code stops working, in milliseconds since the epoch. Codes last 10 minutes.
  - `attempts_left` integer: `code_sent` only. Incorrect entries still allowed before this code is discarded.
  - `linked_at` integer, nullable: `linked` only. When the link was made, in milliseconds since the epoch.
  - `kyc_url` string, nullable: `kyc_required` only. A one-time identity-verification link to hand the account holder.
  - `note` string, required: What to do next.
