### 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 '{

  "args": {
    "prompt": "An anime scene: A young woman stands beneath a cherry blossom tree, her long hair gently swaying in the breeze. She wears a light summer dress and holds a book in her hands, smiling as she gazes into the distance. Sunlight filters through the branches, softly illuminating her face. The background is filled with fluttering pink cherry blossoms, creating a warm and dreamy atmosphere. The image has a cinematic feel, with a shallow depth of field and excellent image quality."
  },
  "callback_url": "CALLBACK_URL"
}')
JOB_ID=$(echo "$response" | grep -o '"job_id": *"[^"]*"' | sed 's/"job_id": *//; s/"//g')

# Step 2: Poll for results
