Error Handling
HTTP 400 Parameter Errors (pre-submit validation, no billing)
AutoRouter validates required fields before submitting upstream:
| Scenario | Response |
|---|---|
Missing input.media or first_frame | {"code":"InvalidParameter","message":"...","request_id":"..."} |
| Unknown model | {"code":"InvalidParameter","message":"unknown model: ...","request_id":"..."} |
HTTP 401 / 403 Auth Errors
401 Unauthorized: API Key invalid or expired403 Forbidden: API Key has no access to this model (check token's model allowlist)
HTTP 402 Insufficient Balance

Task FAILED Status
The task was accepted but upstream generation failed (output.task_status == "FAILED"). See output.code / output.message for details:
| Reason | Suggested Action |
|---|---|
| Content moderation | Adjust prompt to avoid sensitive content |
| Missing first-frame image | media must contain exactly one type: first_frame element |
| Media URL unreachable | Ensure the URL is publicly accessible and not expired |
| Media file violates specs | See image limits in Request Body |
| Illegal parameter combo | Follow the Request Body specification |
When a task enters FAILED, AutoRouter automatically refunds the billed quota. Check refund records in the logs page.
Text-to-Video
Generate video from a text prompt. Async task API: submit a request, receive a task_id, then poll for status to get the result.
Reference-to-Video
Generate video from 1–9 reference images, referencing them in the prompt with [Image N]. Supports up to 15 seconds and 1080P resolution. This is an async task-based API: submit a request to receive a task_id, poll for status, then download the video when complete.
