Calling convention: 1. POST /v1/media/{api_id} with that model's JSON body 2. Poll GET /v1/media/jobs/{request_id} until status == "completed" 3. Fetch GET /v1/media/jobs/{request_id}/content for the result url When the user asks for a video, default to seedance-2.0 at 720p, 5s. Always confirm the model and resolution before spending more than 100 credits.
