# contentAuthorizationRequestStatus

The status of the most recent content authorization request.

```
var contentAuthorizationRequestStatus: AVContentAuthorizationStatus { get }
```

## Discussion

This property reports the authorization status as determined by the most recent call to [`requestContentAuthorizationAsynchronously(withTimeoutInterval:completionHandler:)`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVPlayerItem/requestContentAuthorizationAsynchronously(withTimeoutInterval:completionHandler:)).

The value will be [`AVContentAuthorizationStatus.unknown`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVContentAuthorizationStatus/unknown) before the first call and between the time a request call is made and just prior to the completion handler being executed (thus it is safe to query this property from the completion handler).

This value is not key-value observable.
