# Get a past-meeting import

`GET https://api.markdrop.in/api/v1/meetings/backfill/{job_id}`

One of your imports: the review before it starts, its progress after. An import is returned with its `state` (`draft`, `running`, `paused`, `waiting`, `done` or `cancelled`), `quiet`, `restricted`, `wait` (why and until when it waits: the Meetings AI budget), `counts` (`included`, `done`, `imported`, `attached`, `duplicate`, `failed`, `needs_date`…), `problems` (files that were skipped, and why), `estimate` (the AI cost of what's left, and whether today's budget covers it) and `rows`: one per meeting found, with its `date` and where it came from (`date_from`: `title`, `created`, `content` or `user`), `title`, `series`, `kinds` (`notes`, `transcript`), `include`, `needs_date`, `dup` (`new`, `duplicate` or `attach`, with the meeting already here) and, once started, its `state`, `error` and `meeting_id`.
