# Getting network connection status with vendors API endpoints

You can now get the BILL network connection status of a vendor when you create a vendor (`POST /v3/vendors`) or get vendor details (`GET /v3/vendors` or `GET /v3/vendors/{vendorId}`).

In the API response, `networkStatus` is now available for providing information about the BILL network connection status. This field can have one of four status values.

| Value            | Description                                                                                    |
| :--------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `NOT_CONNECTED`  | Not connected with a vendor in the BILL network                                                |
| `PENDING`        | Invitation is sent to the vendor in the BILL network                                           |
| `CONNECTED`      | The vendor in the BILL network has accepted the invitation. You are connected with the vendor. |
| `CONNECTED_RPPS` | Connected with a verified national vendor                                                      |
