# Query a payment

## Query payment status

 - [GET /payments/events/{linkData}](https://worldpay-portal.eu.redocly.app/access/products/card-payments/openapi/query-a-payment/eventquery.md): Send a request to find out the current status of your payment after it has been authorized using the events action link. 
 Note: It can take up to 15 minutes for a payment event to update.

## Query payment status recovery

 - [GET /payments/events](https://worldpay-portal.eu.redocly.app/access/products/card-payments/openapi/query-a-payment/eventrecovery.md): 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.
