# Get status updates with dates and times

When parsing the whole transport JSON, all the status updates are listed in the `status_updates` list of the transport.

Status updates are characterized by these fields:

* `category` : Category gives the kind of the status\_update. Most important categories are: `on_loading_site` , `loading_complete`, `on_unloading_site`, `unloading_complete`
* `site`: The status updates listed above (`on_loading_site`, ...) refer to a site, because they may complete multiple deliveries at the same time (see the article on [Transport - Segment - Deliveries](/docs/get-started/understand-the-data-model/transport-segment-delivery.md)). This field is the `uid` of the site that the status\_update refers to. You can find the right deliveries/segments by checking the `uid` of the `origin` or `destination` of the deliveries/segments of the transport.
* `created_device`: This is the date-time of the creation of the status update on the device of the trucker. On the other hand, `created` is the date-time of the creation of the status update on the server. If `created_device` is missing, use `created` (it may mean the status update was created from the web application)

Using this information, you'll be able to get real-time information on the status of transports!
