## API Information

This model can be used via our HTTP API or more conveniently via our client libraries.
See the input and output schema below, as well as the usage examples.

### Input Schema

The API accepts the following input parameters:

_No specific input schema provided._

### Output Schema

The API returns a JSON response with a `job_id` for tracking the request status.

**Create Job Response:**
```json
{
  "code": 0,
  "data": {
    "amount": "0.02",
    "job_id": "<JOB_ID>"
  }
}
```

**Query Job Result (when status is 2, meaning succeeded):**
```json
{
  "code": 0,
  "data": {
    "status": 2,
    "result": {
      "images": [{ "url": "https://..." }]
    }
  }
}
```

## Use Example

To use this model, make an HTTP POST request to the API endpoint, then poll for results using the returned `job_id`.

### Bash (cURL)
```bash
# Step 1: Create a job
response=$(curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.shortapi.ai/api/v1/job/create \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $SHORTAPI_KEY" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
  "model": "anthropic/claude-opus-4.6",
  "args": {
    "prompt": "Your request here"
  },
  "callback_url": "CALLBACK_URL"
}')
JOB_ID=$(echo "$response" | grep -o '"job_id": *"[^"]*"' | sed 's/"job_id": *//; s/"//g')

# Step 2: Poll for results
curl --request GET \
  --url "https://api.shortapi.ai/api/v1/job/query?id=$JOB_ID" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $SHORTAPI_KEY"
```

### JavaScript (Fetch API)
```javascript
// Step 1: Create a job
const response = await fetch(`https://api.shortapi.ai/api/v1/job/create`, {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${SHORTAPI_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "model": "anthropic/claude-opus-4.6",
    "args": {
      "prompt": "Your request here"
    },
    "callback_url": "CALLBACK_URL"
})
});
const data = await response.json();
const JOB_ID = data.job_id;

// Step 2: Poll for results
const result = await fetch(`https://api.shortapi.ai/api/v1/job/query?id=${JOB_ID}`, {
  method: "GET",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${SHORTAPI_KEY}`
  }
});
const resultData = await result.json();
console.log(resultData);
```

### Python (Requests)
```python
import requests

# Step 1: Create a job
url = "https://api.shortapi.ai/api/v1/job/create"
payload = {
  "model": "anthropic/claude-opus-4.6",
  "args": {
    "prompt": "Your request here"
  },
  "callback_url": "CALLBACK_URL"
}
headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {SHORTAPI_KEY}",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload)
data = response.json()
JOB_ID = data.get("job_id")

# Step 2: Poll for results
result_url = f"https://api.shortapi.ai/api/v1/job/query?id={JOB_ID}"
result = requests.get(result_url, headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {SHORTAPI_KEY}"})
print(result.json())
