# Get ad video processing status

`GET /v1/ads/videos/{videoId}`

Reads a video's processing state live from Meta (`GET /{video-id}?fields=status`).
Poll this after `POST /v1/ads/videos` with `async: true` until `status` is `ready`;
the video is only usable as `video.id` on the create endpoints from then on.

`status` is normalised: `ready`, `error` (Meta's `error` or `expired`), and
`processing` for every other Meta state. `platformStatus` carries Meta's raw
`video_status` and `processingProgress` Meta's 0-100 percentage when it reports one.
Polling every 5 to 10 seconds is plenty.
