Saving a semantic type in sandbox status as a draft is an asynchronous task. The status of the operation can be checked.

## Procedure

1. If you do not have a personal access token yet, generate one. For further information, see [Generating a Personal Access Token](https://help.qlik.com/talend/r/en-US/Cloud/management-console-user-guide/cloud-access-token).
2. Open Talend API Tester in your browser.
3. From the Repository tab, select Get in the Method drop-down list.
4. Enter the following URL: https://tds.{region}.cloud.talend.com/semanticservice/v2/categories/{{categoryId}}/draft/status

   You'll find a list of the URLs to use for each data center in [Accessing Talend Cloud applications](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/installation-guide-windows/Cloud/talend-cloud-application-url).

   {{categoryID}} is the identifier returned when you created the semantic type, for example: 5f80848e51b6b16703a4318d.
5. Click the Add header button and enter Authorization in the name field and Bearer followed by a whitespace and your token in the value field.
6. Click the Add header button and enter Cookie in the name field, then leave the value field empty.
7. Click Send.

## Results

When the asynchronous "save as a draft" operation completes, the API returns a 200 HTTP. The response has a status field with the value FINISH, for example:

```
{
    "id": "5f80848e51b6b16703a4318d",
    "errors": [],
    "status": "FINISH"
}
```
