• At least one media file must be uploaded (POST /job/add_media)
• Job must be in "Pending" status
• Required metadata must be set

Monitoring Progress

Two options for tracking job status:

1. Polling:

   • Periodically call GET /job/info
   • Check job_status field
   • Download results when status is "Completed"

2. Webhook:

   • Configure webhook URL in profile or per-job
   • Receive automatic notification on completion
   • See Webhook section for setup details

Sandbox Testing

In sandbox mode:

• No real processing occurs
• Job stays "In Progress" by default
• Use finish_in parameter to simulate completion
• Use finish_with_error to simulate failures
