Polling strategy

Tasks typically take 30 seconds to 5 minutes to complete, depending on the task type and upstream provider load.

Poll the Get Task endpoint every 5-10 seconds until the status is "success", "failure", or "timeout". Avoid polling more frequently than once per second.

Polling example

import time
import requests

API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"
TASK_ID = "f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479"

while True:
    response = requests.get(
        f"https://sunor.cc/api/v1/task/{TASK_ID}",
        headers={"x-api-key": API_KEY},
    )
    data = response.json()["data"]
    status = data["status"]
    print(f"Status: {status}")

    if status in ("success", "failure", "timeout"):
        print("Result:", data["output"])
        break

    time.sleep(5)

Errors

Status	Description
`401`	Missing or invalid API key
`404`	Task not found (invalid ID or task belongs to another user)
