# Get RPC operation status

> Returns the state of a prepaid (funded) operation: the 202 answer a prepaid account gets for a long request. It does not run the request again or charge for it. Other accounts never receive an operation ID, so for them this route answers 404. Limited to 30 requests per minute per organization. [Idempotency and recovery](/guides/idempotency).

  description: >-
    Lumeus RPC: Stellar JSON-RPC 2.0 over `POST /`, with Lumeus keys, metering
    and limits. Sign up at https://app.lumeus.dev: Free, Starter, Growth and
    Scale plans are self-serve, Enterprise by agreement.


    - **Pricing.** Testnet is free: Testnet requests cost no credits and are
    never billed. Each organization can make 10,000 Testnet requests a day
    across Activity, Assets and RPC (unlimited on Enterprise); the count resets
    at 00:00 UTC, and a request over it answers 429 rate_limited with
    Retry-After set to the seconds until then. Mainnet requests draw from the
    plan's monthly credits. A Mainnet call costs its method credits plus one
    credit per started 64 KiB of response. Each call of a batch counts as one
    request, and a batch that would cross the daily Testnet cap is refused
    whole. Plans, limits and credit weights: `GET
    https://api.lumeus.dev/v1/plans`.

    - **Authentication.** Send `Authorization: Bearer <key>`. Testnet:
    `lum_test_…`; Mainnet: `lum_live_…`. A key works only on its own network, so
    pick the server that matches it (the other network answers 401). Publishable
    `lum_pub_…` keys call read-only methods only, from an allowed browser
    origin. Dashboard sessions and webhook keys are not accepted.

    - **Headers.** Every response carries X-Request-Id; authenticated responses
    carry RateLimit-Limit, RateLimit-Remaining and RateLimit-Reset; 429 and 503
    carry Retry-After.

    - **Errors.** JSON-RPC 2.0 error objects. Gateway errors carry the
    machine-readable code as the string error.data and the request ID as
    error.request_id (see [errors](/guides/errors)). A JSON-RPC error can arrive
    with HTTP 200, from the node or for one call of a batch, so check error
    before reading result. The REST routes (`/operations/...`, `/healthz`,
    `/readyz`) answer flat JSON errors.

    - **CORS.** Browser calls (CORS) are allowed from https://docs.lumeus.dev
    (the Try it playground of this reference) and https://app.lumeus.dev only,
    without cookies; responses expose ETag, Link, Location, Retry-After,
    X-Request-Id, X-Lumeus-Operation-Id, X-Lumeus-Idempotency and
    RateLimit-Limit, RateLimit-Remaining and RateLimit-Reset (errors included).
    Other websites cannot read responses made with a server key: use a
    publishable key with your own allowed origins ([browser
    keys](/guides/browser-keys)).
