Some Model Studio models (like image and video generation) use asynchronous invocation due to long processing times. The typical workflow is: create a task to get an ID, then query the result using that ID. Model Studio provides general-purpose task APIs to query individual results, check multiple task statuses in batch, and cancel queued tasks.
Prerequisites
You can call the asynchronous task APIs over HTTP.
Before you call the APIs, get and configure an API key, and then set the API key as an environment variable.
Query the result of an asynchronous task
API description: Queries the status and result of a task based on its task_id.
Rate limit: 20 QPS per Alibaba Cloud account (includes all RAM users).
-
You can query all tasks under the Alibaba Cloud account that owns the current API key, including tasks submitted with any API key under that account. You cannot query tasks from other accounts.
-
Completed tasks are retained for 24 hours (check specific task API reference for exact period). After expiration, the system automatically deletes task data.
