# Status

The status endpoint is used to verify your transaction has been completed. You will pass in your refrence and intent keys. Your refrence key is used to find the transaction on chain and your intent key is used to verify it was authentic.

If you receive a message in the body of the response, the transaction is complete. If the request is successful and the body is null, the transaction did not complete.

### Example

```python
import requests

ref_url = 'http://api.mtnapi.com/ref'
ref_req = requests.get(url = ref_url)
ref = ref_req.json()['ref']

wallet='Ar7XrWtrGsB2xCnrTFLs9HyJ1bA62gXCAUZa8Fa7VMc5' #receiver
payerToken = 'usdc'
size = 0.1

intent_url = 'http://api.mtnapi.com/intent'
params = {'wallet': wallet, 'size' : size, 'payerToken' : payerToken}
intent_req = requests.get(url = intent_url, params=params)
intent = intent_req.json()['intent']

status_url = 'http://api.mtnapi.com/status'
params = {'ref': ref, 'intent': intent} 
status_req = requests.post(url = status_url, params=params)

tx = status_req.json()['tx']
safe = status_req.json()['safe']
status_intent = status_req.json()['intent']

print(tx)
print(safe)
print(status_intent == intent)


```
