# Get response

GET https://api.moveworks.ai/assistant/v1/conversations/{conversation_id}/responses/{response_id}

Retrieves the current state and output of a response. Only returns assistant outputs. Use Get messages in a conversation or response to retrieve the full set of messages including user messages. Clients can poll this endpoint to watch for response completion by repeatedly calling until the status reaches a terminal state (`COMPLETED` or `FAILED`). Clients can wait up to **120 seconds** for a response to reach a terminal state.
