# Get recording status

To get the status of a recording event, perform an HTTP POST using the `/json/records` endpoint, specifying the `_action=status` parameter in the URL:

```bash
$ curl \
--request POST \
--header "iPlanetDirectoryPro: AQIC5…​" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
https://am.example.com:8443/am/json/records?_action=status
```

If there is no active recording event, the following output appears:

```none
{
    "recording":false
}
```

If there is an active recording event, output similar to the following appears:

```none
{
    "recording":true,
    "record":{
        "issueID":103572,
        "referenceID":"policyEvalFails",
