# Trigger the opt-in MP4 render for a table read artifact.

`POST /artifacts/{artifactId}/render-video`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://docs.sleeperhit.studio/api/v1`
- URL: `https://docs.sleeperhit.studio/api/v1/artifacts/{artifactId}/render-video`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Queues the Remotion MP4 export for a `table_read` artifact. This output is never produced by default; calling it incurs a separate Studio Credit charge. Returns `artifact_not_ready` if the underlying share link does not exist yet. Requires `Idempotency-Key`. The same render is also reachable via POST /artifacts/{id}/finalize with `{ mode: "video" }`. Scope: `artifact:publish` (billable + mutating).

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string, required

## Response `200`

Render acknowledgement.

- ArtifactRenderAck: Acknowledgement that the opt-in MP4 render has been requested for an artifact. `render` carries the share-render status returned by the table-read share renderer.
  - `artifactId` string, required
  - `render` object, required

## Other responses

- `401`: Missing, malformed, revoked, or expired API key.
- `403`: API key is valid but lacks the scope, is blocked by IP allowlist, or the account is disabled.
- `404`: The story artifact does not exist or is owned by another account.
- `409`: The artifact is not in a state where this operation is valid yet (e.g. requesting an MP4 render before the share link exists).
- `422`: The artifact adapter failed to produce a shareable output.
- `429`: Rate limit for this API key + IP + route family was exceeded.
- `500`: The API failed unexpectedly. Safe to retry with the same Idempotency-Key.
