  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" 

# For example
curl https://media.onerouter.pro/v1/videos/tasks/8ada867638bb42a299f287ad994b026d \

  "code": 200,
  "message": "success",
  "data": {
    "task_id": "8ada867638bb42a299f287ad994b026d",

    "finish_time": 0,
    "outputs": [],
    "created_at": "2026-06-22 08:47:03"
  }
}

Possible statuses:

  • created
  • in_progress
  • processing
  • completed
  • failed

created -> in_progress → processing → completed | failed

Poll every 1-2 seconds until status is "completed" or "failed"

Get the result (when status is "completed")

Once the request is completed, you can fetch the result. See the Output Schema for the expected result format.
