Send `X-DashScope-Async: enable` on the create call or it fails, then poll GET /api/v1/tasks/{task_id} about every 15 seconds\n2. Copy the video out within 24 hours. The URL and the task id both expire\n3. Use the host from your workspace and region. A Singapore key won't work on a Beijing host\n4. Don't resubmit a slow job. Poll it. Failed jobs aren't billed, so resubmit only after FAILED\n5. Set `audio` false if you don't want sound. It's on by default for Wan 3.0\n\n### MiniMax Video API\n\n1. Use POST /v2/video_generation for H3 and poll GET /v2/query/video_generation/{task_id}. Tasks stay queryable for 7 days\n2. Set `ratio` for text-to-video. `adaptive` isn't allowed there\n3.
