Request example

The platform origin is filled in at build time. Set API_KEY to your server-side key before running.

curl "https://newrouters.com/v1/tasks" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
  --data '{
  "model": "minimax-h3-max-turbo",
  "input": {
    "seconds": 5,
    "resolution": "480P",
    "aspect_ratio": "16:9",
    "prompt": "A small red house in a quiet garden"
  }
}'

Retrieve the result

The creation response accepts a task, not the final output. Replace TASK_ID with its returned ID and poll until succeeded or failed.

curl "https://newrouters.com/v1/tasks/TASK_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY"

Read result on success and error on failure. Keep the original task ID when the upstream outcome is unknown; do not submit a duplicate paid generation.
