## Before you call it

1. Generate a new UUID for Ai-trace-id on every new submit. Reuse it only to fetch the same job again
2. Poll the result endpoint. Status 1 is done, 5 generating, 7 moderation failure, 8 failed
3. Moderate prompts before calling. Repeated status 7 results can suspend the key
4. Use model v6 or c1 for new work. Older model tables still sit in the docs

## Connect

```bash
curl -X POST https://app-api.pixverse.ai/openapi/v2/video/text/generate \
  -H "API-KEY: $PIXVERSE_API_KEY" -H "Ai-trace-id: $(uuidgen)" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"v6","prompt":"a lighthouse in a storm, waves crashing","aspect_ratio":"16:9","duration":5,"quality":"720p"}'
```
