# GetNetworkConnector
<a name="API_GetNetworkConnector"></a>

Retrieves the current configuration, state, and metadata of a network connector. The `Identifier` parameter accepts the connector ID, name, or full ARN. Use this operation to poll connector state after creation or update, or to inspect the current VPC configuration and any failure reasons.

The response includes the full connector configuration, current state, and — if the connector has been updated — the `LastUpdateStatus` and `LastUpdateStatusReasonCode` fields that indicate whether the most recent update succeeded or failed.
