# Get Flow Run Status

> Get a lightweight status check for a flow run

A lightweight endpoint to check the current status of a flow run.
This returns minimal information compared to the full [Get Flow Run](/api/runs/get) endpoint, making it ideal for quick status checks.

<Warning>
  **We recommend using callbacks instead of polling this endpoint.** Callbacks are more efficient and reliable. Configure a `callback` URL when creating a flow run to receive results automatically.
</Warning>
