Responses, polling and callbacks

Every model works the same way: create a task, then poll it or wait for a callback.

Price it first

cURL
curl -X POST https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/jobs/quote \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $POPNOW_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "model": "alibaba/qwen-image-plus-edit/edit",
  "input": {
    "prompt": "A ceramic teapot on a linen cloth, soft window light, muted palette",
    "image_url": "https://media.popnow.ai/influencer/examples/marco.webp"
  }
}'

Send the same request body to POST /jobs/quote to see the estimated and maximum USD charge before running. A quote does not run the task or charge your balance.

Accepted

HTTP
HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted

{
  "code": 200,
  "msg": "success",
  "data": {
    "taskId": "task_01k3m8x9q2z4v7n5p6r8s0t1w3",
    "state": "queued"
  },
  "request_id": "req_example_create"
}

HTTP 202 means accepted: the maximum USD amount is held until settlement. When a task is accepted, we reserve the maximum quoted amount from your API balance. On completion, we charge for actual usage, never more than the hold, and release the remainder. If the task fails, the hold is released.

Check status

cURL
curl "https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/jobs/recordInfo?taskId=$TASK_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $POPNOW_API_KEY"

Poll every few seconds with backoff and stop once state is succeeded, failed, canceled or expired.

Finished task

JSON
{
  "code": 200,
  "msg": "success",
  "data": {
    "taskId": "task_01k3m8x9q2z4v7n5p6r8s0t1w3",
    "model": "alibaba/qwen-image-plus-edit/edit",
    "state": "succeeded",
    "output": {
      "assets": [
        {
          "url": "https://cdn.popnow.ai/tasks/task_01k3m8x9q2z4v7n5p6r8s0t1w3/output.png?signature=FROM_RESPONSE",
          "expiresAt": "2026-10-17T12:20:00Z",
          "mime": "image/png",
          "width": 1024,
          "height": 1024
        }
      ]
    },
    "settled": true
  },
  "request_id": "req_example_record"
}

Download from url before expiresAt. Need a fresh link later? Ask POST /common/download-url.

Verify a callback

Node.js
import { createHash, createHmac, timingSafeEqual } from "node:crypto";
import express from "express";

const app = express();
// express.raw keeps the exact bytes that were signed; express.json would not match.
app.post("/hooks/popnow", express.raw({ type: "application/json" }), (req, res) => {
  const timestamp = req.header("X-Webhook-Timestamp");
  const signature = req.header("X-Webhook-Signature") ?? "";
  const body = JSON.parse(req.body.toString("utf8"));
  const taskId = body.data?.taskId ?? body.task_id;
  const digest = createHash("sha256").update(req.body).digest("hex");
  const expected = createHmac("sha256", process.env.POPNOW_WEBHOOK_SECRET)
    .update(`${taskId}.${timestamp}.${digest}`)
    .digest("base64");
  const ok = expected.length === signature.length && timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(expected), Buffer.from(signature));
  // Check the signature first, then reject anything older than five minutes.
  if (!ok || Math.abs(Date.now() / 1000 - Number(timestamp)) > 300) return res.status(401).end();
  res.status(200).end(); // answer fast, then fetch the task and store its files
});

With callBackUrl set, we post the finished task to you. Check the signature against the raw body before you trust it.

Send a local file

cURL
curl -X POST https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/common/upload-url \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $POPNOW_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"contentType": "image/png", "bytes": 482113}'

# PUT the file bytes to data.uploadUrl with every header in data.headers, then commit it:
curl -X POST https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/files/$FILE_ID/commit \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $POPNOW_API_KEY"
# The commit returns a popnow://f/... reference. Put it in any image, video or
# audio field of the task input instead of a public https URL.

Public https links work as they are. Local files go through upload-url and commit first.
