tasks

Get a task

Fetch a task's status. Pass wait (seconds) to long-poll: the request holds until the task reaches a terminal status (completed/failed/cancelled) or the hold elapses, then returns the current status — one call instead of a poll loop. When it returns still in-flight, Retry-After: 0 is set; re-call to keep waiting.

get/v1/tasks/{task_id}

Request

  • Base URL: https://api.framelane.io
  • URL: https://api.framelane.io/v1/tasks/{task_id}
  • Auth: HTTP bearer

Path parameters

task_idstring required

Query parameters

waitinteger

Seconds to block until the task is terminal (capped server-side; values above the cap are clamped). 0 (default) returns immediately.

Response

Successful Response

idstring required

Unique job ID. Prefix indicates type: render_ or task_.

kind'render' | 'task' required
is_previewboolean

True for a cheap preview render. Previews are not billed and are excluded from the renders list.

editor_urlstring nullable

Open the project this job was submitted from in the authenticated console. Absent for a job with no project.

task_type'transcribe'

The AI task types the API offers.

Values:

  • transcribe — Speech-to-text transcription (via AssemblyAI) with optional analysis. Returns the transcript inline on the task's result object — there is no file artifact, so output is null and /v1/tasks/{id}/download returns 404.
workspace_idstring required

ID of the workspace that owns this job.

status'ingesting' | 'queued' | 'processing' | 'completed' | 'failed' | 'cancelled' required

Values:

  • ingesting — External source files are being probed for duration before the render is queued.
  • queued — Accepted and waiting for a worker to pick it up.
  • processing — Actively rendering or processing.
  • completed — Finished successfully; the output artifact is available.
  • failed — Terminated with an error (see error).
  • cancelled — Cancelled by the caller before completion.
progress_percentinteger

0–100 progress indicator updated by the render engine.

progress_stage'downloading' | 'compositing' | 'encoding' | 'uploading'

Values:

  • downloading — Fetching source media.
  • compositing — Compositing the scene on the GPU.
  • encoding — Encoding the output video.
  • uploading — Uploading the finished artifact to storage.
resultobject nullable

Structured JSON result for tasks that return data rather than a file — transcribe returns the transcript here (text, words, utterances, and any requested analysis). Populated once status == completed; null for renders and for any job whose only artifact is the file at output.url.

metadataobject

Caller-supplied key-value pairs echoed back on every webhook and response.

created_atstring date-time required

ISO-8601 UTC timestamp when the job was created.

updated_atstring date-time required

ISO-8601 UTC timestamp of the last status change.

completed_atstring date-time nullable

ISO-8601 UTC timestamp when the job reached a terminal state.
