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/o1-video', methods=['POST'])
def handle_webhook():
    data = request.json
    
    if data['status'] == 'completed':
        print(f"Video ready: {data['video_url']}")
    else:
        print(f"Generation failed: {data.get('message')}")
        
    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/o1-video/generate -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
  "prompt": "Epic cinematic scene",
  "duration": "10",
  "aspect_ratio": "16:9",
  "callback_url": "https://your-app.com/webhook/o1-video"
}'

Handle Notifications

Your endpoint will receive instant notifications when tasks complete.

​
Payload Structure

  • Completed
  • Failed
  • Timeout
Sent when video generation completes successfully.
{
  "generation_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
  "status": "completed",
  "video_url": "https://cdn.example.com/videos/abc123.mp4",
  "model": "kling_o1_video",
  "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 used: "kling_o1_video"
​
message
null
Always null for successful generations

​
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
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/o1-video', methods=['POST'])
def kling_video_webhook():
    try:
        data = request.json
        generation_id = data.get('generation_id')
        status = data.get('status')
        
        if status == 'completed':
            video_url = data.get('video_url')
            logging.info(f"Video ready for {generation_id}: {video_url}")
            # Process successful generation
            process_video(generation_id, video_url)
        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):
    # Your video processing logic here
    pass

def handle_failure(generation_id, error_code):
    # Your error handling logic here
    pass
Important: Always return a 200 status code quickly to acknowledge receipt. Perform heavy processing asynchronously to avoid timeouts.
