POST https://api.hiapi.ai/v1/tasks

Headers

AuthorizationstringRequired

Account API key. Required on every request. Example: Bearer YOUR_HIAPI_API_KEY. Get your API key

Content-TypestringOptional

The request body is always parsed as JSON; when sent, only application/json (optionally with charset) is accepted — any other value returns 415. Example: application/json.

Idempotency-KeystringOptional

Idempotency key, up to 255 bytes. Retries with the same key from the same account create the task only once; replays return the original taskId.

Idempotency key

On network timeouts or client retries, the same key creates the task only once — no double charges (scope: the API key's account). Use a business-unique identifier as the key (e.g. "order-42"); replays return the original taskId, and keys expire 24 hours after the first request. See the Unified Async API overview for the full scenario matrix.

callbackobjectOptional

Terminal-state notification config. When omitted, no callback is delivered — poll the task yourself. See the callback note below.

Callbacks (Webhook)

Provide callback.url when creating a task and HiAPI POSTs to your service once the task reaches a terminal state — no polling needed. The callback payload mirrors the task detail structure; signature verification, delivery retries and idempotency are documented on the Unified Async API overview page.

Required when callback is present. A POST is sent to this URL once the task reaches a terminal state; must be a valid http(s) URL.

Only final is supported today — notified on both success and fail.

Options:final

storagestringOptionalDefault: "temp"

Artifact storage tier: temp (default, retained about 7 days) or persistent (long-term, billed by size). Insufficient balance or exceeding the storage cap silently downgrades to temp; the effective tier is shown in the task detail response.

Options:temppersistent
