# API Functionality and Error Handling
**API Functionality and Error Handling**
1. How can I check my payout transaction status?
* **Webhook Notifications**: Set up a [webhook URL ](https://coda-payments.gitbook.io/coda-payout-merchant-documentation/bNCsHz5i7637XdvIol0d/api-reference/notification)with us. We will send notifications to your webhook for any status updates regarding your transactions
* **Check Status API**: Utilize our [Check Status API ](https://coda-payments.gitbook.io/coda-payout-merchant-documentation/bNCsHz5i7637XdvIol0d/api-reference/check-status-of-payout)to retrieve the latest status of your transactions. This method provides real-time updates on the current state of each transaction
* **Publisher Portal**: Log into our [Publisher Portal](https://portal.codapayments.com/login) and navigate to the Payout section. Here, you can view the status of all your transactions at a glance.
***
2. What should I do if I encounter a 401 Unauthorized error?
* Ensure the JWT token’s `iat` value is valid and within 5 minutes of generation.
***
3. Does the payout API return a channel order ID? Can I use the transaction ID to check the status?
* The returned ID is the Coda payout ID (similar to Codapay's transaction ID). You can use our status check API to verify the request status.
***
4. Can I use my own payout request ID to check the status?
* Merchant-generated request IDs might overlap with others. Use the Coda transaction number for accurate status queries, as Coda-generated payout IDs ensure uniqueness.
***
5. Is the Balance API's value real-time?
* Yes, upon configuration on the Coda side. Otherwise, updates are made daily
***
6. What is the interval for webhook notifications?
* Webhooks are triggered immediately upon status updates.
