Get End to End Dubbing Task Status

Monitor the progress of your dubbing tasks with our status tracking endpoint. This essential companion to our dubbing service lets you check on your media transformation in real-time, providing detailed information about which stage of the process your content has reached. By polling this endpoint, you can keep track of your dubbing tasks progress and detect any issues that might arise during processing. This endpoint works in conjunction with the main /dub endpoint, which initiates the dubbing process and provides the task_id needed for status checks.

Implementing Status Checking

Here’s how to implement status checking in your application using Python:

import requests
import json
import time

# Your API authentication
headers = {
    "x-api-key": "your-api-key",  # Replace with your actual API key
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

def check_dubbing_status(task_id):
    """
    Polls the status endpoint to track a dubbing task's progress.
    Continues checking until the task reaches a terminal state.
    """
    if not task_id:
        print("Error: No task ID provided")
        return None

    terminal_states = ["SUCCESS", "ERROR"]
    current_status = None

    while current_status not in terminal_states:
        try:
            # Make the status request
            response = requests.get(
                f"https://client.camb.ai/apis/dub/{task_id}",
                headers=headers
            )

            # Verify the request was successful
            response.raise_for_status()

            # Extract the status information
            status_data = response.json()
            current_status = status_data.get("status")

            # Display current progress information
            print(f"Status: {current_status}")
            if current_status == "PENDING":
                time.sleep(15)
                continue

            # Handle completed state
            if current_status == "SUCCESS":
                print("Dubbing task completed successfully!")
                return status_data

            # Handle failed state
            if current_status == "ERROR":
                print(f"Dubbing task failed: {status_data.get('message')}")
                return status_data

            # Wait before next check to avoid excessive requests
            time.sleep(30)  # Poll every 30 seconds

        except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
            print(f"Error checking dubbing status: {e}")
            if hasattr(e, 'response') and e.response is not None:
                print(f"Response content: {e.response.text}")
            return None

    return None

# Example usage with a task_id from a previous dubbing request
task_id = "your_task_id"  # Replace with your actual task ID
final_status = check_dubbing_status(task_id)

Best Practices for Status Monitoring

To efficiently track your dubbing tasks, consider these professional recommendations:

Implement Exponential Backoff: Start with frequent checks that gradually increase in interval to avoid overloading the API.
Handle Terminal States: Always implement proper handling for both successful completion and failure cases.

By properly integrating status checking into your application, you can create a seamless dubbing experience that keeps your users informed throughout the entire process.

Authorizations

x-api-key

string

header

required

The x-api-key is a custom header required for authenticating requests to our API. Include this header in your request with the appropriate API key value to securely access our endpoints. You can find your API key(s) in the 'API' section of our studio website.

Path Parameters

task_id

string

required

A unique identifier for the task. This is used to query the status of the dubbing task that is running. It is returned when a create request is made for dubbing.
