# Training period status

API Behavioral Security (ABS) training status is checked using the ABS Admin application programming interface (API) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">
\<p>A specification of interactions available for building software to access an application or service.\</p>
\</div>)* which returns the training duration and prediction mode.

If the prediction variable is set to `true`, ABS has completed training and is discovering attacks. A `false` value means that ABS is still in training mode. The API Uniform Resource Locator (URL) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">
\<p>Identifies a resource according to its internet location.\</p>
\</div>)* for Admin API is: `https://<ip>:<port>/v4/abs/admin`. Here is a snippet of the Admin API output:

```
"message": "training started at Thu Jul 30 12:32:59 IST 2018",
"training_duration": "2 hours",
"prediction": true
```
