# Get a connection request

`GET /v1/connections/{username}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.taplio.com`
- URL: `https://api.taplio.com/v1/connections/{username}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

The latest connection request this account queued for `username`, whatever became of it. `pending` while it waits in the send queue, `sent` once it left, `failed` or `cancelled` with the reason otherwise. LinkedIn treats an already-connected recipient and an invitation already pending as success, so both read as `sent`. A recipient this account never requested answers `404 connection_not_found`.

## Path parameters

- `username` string, required

## Response `200`

The latest connection request for that recipient.

- Connection
  - `created_at` string, date-time, required
  - `failure_code` string
  - `failure_reason` string
  - `message` string
  - `scheduled_for` string, date-time
  - `status` 'pending' | 'sent' | 'failed' | 'cancelled', required
  - `username` string, required
