Use this recipe when your application needs the smallest production-safe text-to-video loop without introducing webhooks yet.

​
Goal

  • Submit a video generation job.
  • Poll until terminal.
  • Download the result or fetch the binary content.

​
1. Create the job

curl https://api.phaseo.app/v1/videos \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "google/veo-3.1-lite",
    "prompt": "A cinematic sunrise over a mountain lake",
    "duration": 8,
    "aspect_ratio": "16:9"
  }'
The create call returns an async job record immediately. Persist the returned id as soon as you receive it.

​
2. Respect the polling guidance

Poll the status endpoint and respect the gateway guidance where possible. 
curl https://api.phaseo.app/v1/videos/VIDEO_ID \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
Watch for:
  • status
  • poll_after_seconds
  • content_url
  • download_url
  • outputs
Terminal states include:
  • completed
  • failed
  • cancelled
  • expired

​
3. Fetch the final output

When the job completes, choose the retrieval path that matches your app. Use content bytes directly: 
curl https://api.phaseo.app/v1/videos/VIDEO_ID/content \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  --output result.mp4
Or request a short-lived download URL when your application needs a handoff link: 
curl -X POST https://api.phaseo.app/v1/videos/VIDEO_ID/download_url \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

​
4. Treat failed jobs as first-class outcomes

Do not build only for the happy path. Capture:
  • the final job status
  • any surfaced provider or error detail
  • the gateway request id
That gives you enough context to distinguish provider-side failures from polling bugs in your own application.

​
5. When to switch to webhooks

Move to a webhook flow when:
  • users do not stay connected while the job runs
  • you need server-side delivery to another system
  • polling load becomes noisy at scale
