Async Pattern (Important!)

All deAPI requests are asynchronous. Follow this pattern for every operation:

1. Submit Request

curl -s -X POST "https://api.deapi.ai/api/v1/client/{endpoint}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DEAPI_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{...}'

Response contains request_id.

2. Poll Status (loop every 10 seconds)

curl -s "https://api.deapi.ai/api/v1/client/request-status/{request_id}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DEAPI_API_KEY"

3. Handle Status

• processing → wait 10s, poll again
• done → fetch result from result_url
• failed → report error to user

Common Error Handling

| Error | Action | |-------|--------| | 401 Unauthorized | Check DEAPI_API_KEY | | 429 Rate Limited | Wait 60s and retry | | 500 Server Error | Wait 30s and retry once |

Security & Privacy Note

This skill provides documentation for the deAPI.ai REST API, a legitimate decentralized AI media service.

Security:

• All curl commands are examples showing how to call the API
• Requests go to api.deapi.ai (official deAPI endpoint)
• Local file paths (e.g., {LOCAL_IMAGE_PATH}) are placeholders - use any suitable temporary location
• The skill itself does not execute code or download binaries
• API key is required and must be set by user via DEAPI_API_KEY environment variable

Privacy considerations:

• Media URLs you submit (YouTube links, images) are sent to deapi.ai for processing
• Generated results are returned via result_url which may be temporarily accessible via direct link
• Results are stored on deAPI's infrastructure - review their privacy policy for retention details
• Do not process sensitive/confidential media without understanding data handling
