# getQualificationRequests
<a name="CLTReference_GetQualificationRequestsCommand"></a>

## Description
<a name="w2aab9c34b2"></a>

 The `getQualificationRequests` command retrieves the Qualification requests from Workers for your Qualifications. For more information about Qualifications and Qualification requests see the [Amazon Mechanical Turk Developer Guide](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSMechTurk/latest/AWSMechanicalTurkRequester/). 

## Arguments
<a name="w2aab9c34b4"></a>

 The following table describes the arguments for the `getQualificationRequests` command. 


| Name | Description | Required | 
| --- | --- | --- | 
|  `-help` or `-h`  |   Displays the help for this operation.  Example: `-help`  |  No  | 
|  `-outputfile [filename]`  |   Specifies the output file. This is a tab delimited text file that contains the details of Workers' Qualification. You can then approve or reject the Qualification Requests by using [approveQualificationRequests](CLTReference_ApproveQualificationRequestsCommand.md) or [rejectQualificationRequests](CLTReference_RejectQualificationRequestsCommand.md) command. For information about this file, see *The Qualification request file* in [Files Used by the Command Line Tools](CLTFilesArticle.md).  Example: `-outputfile qualification_requests.txt`  |  Yes  | 
|  `-qualtypeid [Qualification Type ID]`  |   Specifies the Qualification Type ID of the Qualification you want to retrieve requests for. This ID is in a `.success` file generated after you create the Qualification with the [createQualificationType](CLTReference_CreateQualificationTypeCommand.md) command. If this ID is not specified, all Qualification requests for Qualifications you own are included in the output file.  Example:`-qualtypeid RWFZTKZ55ZPZXN1C8TDZ`  |  No  | 
|  `-sandbox`  |   Runs this command in the Amazon Mechanical Turk sandbox for testing. This argument takes precedence even if you specify the production web site in your `mturk.properties` file.   Example:`-sandbox`   |  No  |
