## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Authentication using Personal Access Token (PAT) token
- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — OAuth2 authentication using JWT tokens

## Request

### Path parameters

- `simulationId` (string, required) — The simulation id

## Response

### 200

The simulation status

- `entity_id` (string, optional, nullable) — The identifier of the entity the simulation is associated with (for example: shipment id).
- `entity_type` (string, optional, nullable) — The type of entity the simulation is associated with (for example: Order).
- `simulation` (Simulation.actionStatusResponseModel, optional) — The current status of the simulation action(s), including any chained next actions.
- `simulation_id` (string, optional, nullable) — The unique identifier of the simulation run.

## Types

### Simulation.actionStatusResponseModel

Represents the current status of a simulation action, optionally including a chained next action status.

- `action` (enum, optional, nullable) — The name of the action performed in the simulation (for example: ShipOrder, DeliverOrder).
  - Allowed values: `ShipOrder`, `DeliverOrder`
- `message` (string, optional, nullable) — Additional details about the action status, such as progress information or an error message.
- `next` (Simulation.actionStatusResponseModel, optional) — The status for the next action in the sequence, if actions are chained.
- `schedule_time` (datetime, optional, nullable) — The scheduled time for the action to run, in ISO 8601 date-time format (UTC).
- `status` (string, optional, nullable) — The current execution state of the action.
