## Example Request

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.eachlabs.ai/v1/prediction/ \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "model": "xai-grok-imagine-image-to-video",
  "input": {
    "prompt": "An astronaut walking on the moon collecting glowing flowers from the lunar surface, slow motion movements, soft space dust floating, Earth visible in the sky, cinematic lighting, calm and dreamy atmosphere, ultra-realistic, smooth camera tracking, high detail.",
    "image_url": "https://storage.googleapis.com/magicpoint/inputs/xai-grok-imagine-video-image-to-video-input.png"
  }
}'
```

## Output Schema

Response returned by `GET /v1/prediction/{id}` when the job completes:

```json
{
  "status": "success",
  "predictionID": "string",
  "output": "string (URL of generated video)",
  "metrics": {
    "predict_time": "number (seconds)"
  }
}
```

## Polling

```bash
curl https://api.eachlabs.ai/v1/prediction/{PREDICTION_ID} \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
```

| Status | Meaning |
|--------|---------|
| `processing` | Still running — poll again |
| `success` | Done — read `output` |
| `error` | Failed — read `message` / `details` |

## Webhook (alternative to polling)

Pass `"webhook_url": "https://your.host/path"` in the create request. Eachlabs POSTs this payload when the job ends:

```json
{
  "exec_id": "prediction-uuid",
  "status": "succeeded",
  "output": "https://...",
  "error": ""
}
```

`status` is `"succeeded"` or `"failed"`. `exec_id` equals the `predictionID` from create. Return 2xx within 30 seconds.

## Errors

Error body: `{ "status": "error", "message": "...", "details": "..." }`

| Code | Meaning |
|------|---------|
| `400` | Invalid input |
| `401` | Missing / invalid `Authorization` bearer token |
| `404` | Unknown model or prediction id |
| `429` | Rate limit — 100 creates / min, 10 concurrent per key |
| `5xx` | Retry with backoff |

## Usage Notes

- API Base URL: `https://api.eachlabs.ai/v1`
- Authentication: send `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY`. Generate a key from the Eachlabs dashboard at https://www.eachlabs.ai/dashboard/api-keys.
- File-typed parameters (`*_url`, `image_url`, `video_url`, `audio_url`, etc.) accept publicly-reachable HTTPS URLs only. Upload your asset first (GCS / S3 / your CDN) and pass the resulting URL. Data-URIs and localhost URLs are rejected.
- For structured parameters (arrays / objects) send real JSON values, not stringified payloads.
- Monetary values are reported in USD; per-token / per-megapixel rates may be billed in micro-cents internally.
- Prefer `webhook_url` over polling for long-running predictions — see the Webhook Callback section.
