# Mint a workspace (project + imported source) in one call

`POST /v1/workspace`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.cueframe.ai`
- URL: `https://api.cueframe.ai/v1/workspace`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - OAuth 2 (authorization code, authorization URL `https://api.cueframe.ai/api/auth/mcp/authorize`, token URL `https://api.cueframe.ai/api/auth/mcp/token`, scopes: `projects:write`, `media:write`)
  - API key in header `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE`

The one-call editing handle: create a project and import the source video URL into it. Returns { projectId, mediaId } — the handle a (paying or keyed) agent threads through the compose/render loop. The import is async; poll GET /v1/media/:mediaId for readiness.

## Request body

- WorkspaceCreateRequest
  - `videoUrl` string, uri, required
  - `format` Format
    - `aspectRatio` '16:9' | '9:16' | '1:1' | '4:5', required
    - `fps` union
      - 24
      - 25
      - 30
      - 60
    - `resolution` 'hd' | 'fhd' | '4k'
    - `platform` string

## Response `202`

Workspace minted; source import enqueued.

- object
  - `projectId` string, required
  - `mediaId` string, required

## Other responses

- `400`: Bad request — validation_error / invalid_cursor / invalid_query.
- `401`: Missing or invalid Authorization header.
- `402`: Payment required. Returned when the caller presents no API key on a priced operation: the body AND the `Payment-Required` header carry the x402 v2 challenge (accepted scheme, network, USDC asset, amount, payTo). Sign the EIP-3009 authorization and retry with a `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE` header. A KEYED caller sees this status instead when their plan lacks or has exhausted the feature (`billing_required`).
- `403`: Forbidden — permission insufficient.
- `422`: Unprocessable — invalid_composition / media_in_use / session_in_use / render_not_cancellable.
- `429`: Rate limited. Retry-After header present.
- `500`: Internal error.
- `503`: Service unavailable — billing_unavailable / honest-503 for runtime deps.
