# Receiving Delivery Reports (DLRs)

DLRs (short for delivery reports) are status reports that hold information about the status of a message that you have sent through our API. Status reports are requests that are sent to your platform through a GET request. Status reports are only provided for SMS messages that have a reference and accounts that have configured their [status report URL](https://dashboard.messagebird.com/en/developers/settings).

To configure the status report URL, first go to the [MessageBird Dashboard](https://dashboard.messagebird.com/en/user/index). Then navigate to the API settings tab in the [Developers section](https://dashboard.messagebird.com/en/developers/settings). Here you can configure the URL where the status reports of SMS messages need to be sent to. Note: enter the full address (including http\://). 

 

You can check the full documentation on handling status reports [here](https://developers.messagebird.com/api/sms-messaging#handle-a-status-report).

Keep in mind that it is not possible to whitelist the IP range for our REST API since our IP addresses are dynamic. However, you can create a sign-in key to verify HTTP requests. You can read more about this in our [authentication documentation](https://developers.messagebird.com/api/#authentication).
