# View Channel Status

To view the status of a channel you have to make a GET request to the [`channels`](/raiden-network/raiden-api-1/resources/channels.md#info-about-one-of-your-channels) endpoint and provide:

1. The address of the W-ETH token as a path parameter.
2. The address of the partner node as a path parameter.

```
curl -i \
http://localhost:5001/api/v1/channels/0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C
```

This will return the following response object:

```
HTTP/1.1 201 CREATED
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "token_network_address": "0xE5637F0103794C7e05469A9964E4563089a5E6f2",
    "channel_identifier": "0xa24f51685de3effe829f7c2e94b9db8e9e1b17b137da5",
    "partner_address": "0x61C808D82A3Ac53231750daDc13c777b59310bD9",
    "token_address": "0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2",
    "balance": "3958",
    "state": "open",
    "settle_timeout": "500",
    "reveal_timeout": "50"
}
```

As you can tell by the response, the current balance in the channel is `3958` which matches the two deposits and one payment you've just made (`2000` + `2000` - `42` = `3958` ).
