# Query payment status recovery

Send a request to find out the current status of your payment after it has been authorized using the events action link. 
 
 
 Important: 

 Only use this for recovery purposes for example when your authorization request has timed out or you are unable to locate a payment through our Payments Queries API. If the query returns results, you can manage the payment using the next action links returned in the response of your GET request.
