Async Workflow

Submit — POST to /v1/run, receive an id
Poll — GET /v1/run/{id} until status is completed, failed, or timeout
Retrieve — Read outputs from the completed response

Code Examples

const apiKey = process.env.SANDBASE_API_KEY;
const response = await fetch("https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/run", {

  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",

    "prompt": "Have a wonderful day!",
    "style_instructions": "cheerful and friendly"
  }),
});

if (!response.ok) throw new Error(await response.text());
let result = await response.json();
for (let attempt = 0; attempt < 120 && !["completed", "failed", "timeout"].includes(result.status); attempt++) {
  await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 2_000));
  const poll = await fetch(`https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/run/${result.id}`, {

  if (!poll.ok) throw new Error(await poll.text());
  result = await poll.json();

if (result.status !== "completed") throw new Error(`Generation ended: ${result.status}`);
console.log(result);
