There is no way to get the workflow status via the api. There was an existing issue but it was closed, without actually providing an api: [https://discuss.circleci.com/t/get-workflow-status-from-api/14336/3](https://discuss.circleci.com/t/get-workflow-status-from-api/14336/3) Currently we use this to get the last build status: API\_URL=“[https://circleci.com/api/v1.1/project/bitbucket/$CIRCLECI\_USERNAME/tiqetsweb/tree/$BRANCH?circle-token=$CIRCLECI\_TOKEN](https://circleci.com/api/v1.1/project/bitbucket/%24CIRCLECI_USERNAME/tiqetsweb/tree/%24BRANCH?circle-token=%24CIRCLECI_TOKEN)” #curl --silent API\_URL #exit 0 circleci\_data=( (curl --silent $API\_URL | jq -r .[0].outcome,.[0].vcs\_revision) ) But since we use workflows, we want the status of the whole workflow. How do we do this? ---

I think there is an API call to get the status of the last number of jobs. I wonder if you could programmatically read what jobs were run as part of a workflow, and then derive a workflow status by checking to see if all jobs in a workflow were successful. (It’s not completely elegant, but sticky-tape solutions now are often better than an ideal one promised for the future!).
