Webhooks provide instant notifications when your video generation tasks complete, fail, or timeout. No more polling!

​
Setup Guide

1

Create Webhook Endpoint

Set up an HTTPS endpoint that can receive POST requests.
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/webhook/o3-video', methods=['POST'])
def handle_webhook():
    data = request.json
    
    if data['status'] == 'completed':
        print(f"Video ready: {data['video_url']}")
        # Process the completed video
    else:
        print(f"Generation failed: {data['message']}")
        # Handle the error
        
    return jsonify({'status': 'received'}), 200
2

Add Webhook URL

Include your webhook URL when creating a generation task.
curl -X POST https://platform.runblob.io/v1/kling/o3-video/generate \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "Dragon flying over mountains",
    "duration": "10",
    "mode": "pro",
    "callback_url": "https://your-app.com/webhook/o3-video"
  }'
3

Handle Notifications

Your endpoint will receive instant notifications when tasks complete.

​
Payload Structure

Sent when video generation completes successfully.
{
  "generation_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
  "status": "completed",
  "video_url": "https://cdn.example.com/videos/550e8400.mp4",
  "model": "kling-o3-video-10s-pro",
  "message": null
}
​
status
string
Always "completed" for successful generations
​
generation_id
string
UUID of the completed task
​
video_url
string
Direct download URL for the generated video
​
model
string
Model configuration used (e.g., kling-o3-video-10s-pro)
​
message
null
Always null for successful generations

​
Error Codes

Common error codes sent via webhooks:
CodeDescriptionAction
CONTENT_POLICY_VIOLATIONContent violates usage policiesModify prompt
IMAGE_INACCESSIBLEImage URL returned 404/403Check image URLs
INVALID_IMAGEImage format invalid or corruptedUse valid JPEG/PNG
TIMEOUTGeneration exceeded 15 minutesCredits refunded
TASK_FAILEDGeneral system errorCredits refunded, retry
MAINTENANCEService temporarily unavailableRetry later
For complete error reference, see Error Codes

​
Reliability Features

Retry Policy: Up to 5 attempts with 30-second intervalsBackoff Strategy: Linear backoff between retriesFailure Handling: After 5 failed attempts, the webhook is marked as failed
Request Timeout: 30 seconds per webhook requestConnection Timeout: 10 seconds to establish connectionBest Practice: Respond quickly with a 200 status code, process asynchronously
HTTPS Required: All webhook URLs must use HTTPSIP Allowlist: Consider restricting access to RunBlob’s IP rangesValidation: Always validate the generation_id in your webhook handler

​
Example Implementations

from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
import logging

app = Flask(__name__)
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

@app.route('/webhook/o3-video', methods=['POST'])
def o3_video_webhook():
    try:
        data = request.json
        generation_id = data.get('generation_id')
        
        if data.get('status') == 'completed':
            video_url = data.get('video_url')
            model = data.get('model')
            logging.info(f"Video ready for {generation_id}: {video_url} ({model})")
            
            # Process successful generation
            process_video(generation_id, video_url, model)
        else:
            error_code = data.get('message')
            logging.error(f"Generation failed for {generation_id}: {error_code}")
            
            # Handle failure
            handle_failure(generation_id, error_code)
        
        return jsonify({'status': 'received'}), 200
    except Exception as e:
        logging.error(f"Webhook error: {str(e)}")
        return jsonify({'error': 'Internal error'}), 500

def process_video(generation_id, video_url, model):
    """Process completed video - download, store, notify user"""
    # Download video to your storage
    # Update database
    # Notify user via email/push notification
    pass

def handle_failure(generation_id, error_code):
    """Handle failed generation - log, refund, notify"""
    # Log error for analytics
    # Update database with failure reason
    # Notify user of failure
    pass

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(port=3000)

Best Practices

Always return 200 OK immediately. Process the webhook payload asynchronously:
app.post('/webhook', async (req, res) => {
  // Acknowledge receipt immediately
  res.status(200).json({ status: 'received' });
  
  // Process asynchronously
  processWebhookAsync(req.body).catch(console.error);
});
Keep track of generation IDs in your database to prevent duplicate processing:
def handle_webhook(data):
    generation_id = data['generation_id']
    
    # Check if already processed
    if db.is_processed(generation_id):
        return  # Skip duplicate
    
    # Mark as processed
    db.mark_processed(generation_id)
    
    # Process the video
    process_video(data)
Always validate webhook payloads before processing:
function validateWebhook(payload) {
  if (!payload.generation_id || !payload.status) {
    throw new Error('Invalid webhook payload');
  }
  
  if (payload.status === 'completed' && !payload.video_url) {
    throw new Error('Missing video_url for completed generation');
  }
  
  return true;
}
Important: Always return a 200 status code quickly to acknowledge receipt. Perform heavy processing asynchronously to avoid timeouts.
