# Get background processes

GET https://api.brevo.com/v3/processes

Retrieves a list of background processes from your Brevo account with filtering and pagination.

**Use this to:**
- Monitor background process activity and status
- Track long-running operations and tasks
- Find process IDs for detailed status checking
- Review process history and performance
- Identify failed or stuck processes for troubleshooting

**Key information returned:**
- Process details (ID, name, status)
- Export download URLs for completed export processes
- Import details with CSV report URLs for completed import processes
- Total count of processes for pagination

**Important considerations:**
- Background processes handle long-running operations like imports and exports
- Process status indicates current state (queued, processing, completed)
- Export processes provide download URLs when completed
- Import processes provide CSV report URLs with details about problematic records
- Use pagination for accounts with many historical processes
- Sort options available for creation order (ascending or descending)
- Default limit is 10 results per page, maximum is 50
