Send one request and get JSON back. Examples in cURL, TypeScript and Python. A failed call costs nothing. result is null while the task runs. When it ends, result says whether the goal was met, why it stopped if not, and the steps taken. A task is kept for 24 hours. Free. ```bash cURL theme={null} curl -X POST https://api.stophy.dev/v1/browser/task/status \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $STOPHY_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"id":"7c76df71-1d78-4d05-b09c-2f7840b12400"}' ``` ```typescript TypeScript theme={null} const response = await fetch("https://api.stophy.dev/v1/browser/task/status", { method: "POST", headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.STOPHY_API_KEY}`, "Content-Type": "application/json", }, body: JSON.stringify({ id: "7c76df71-1d78-4d05-b09c-2f7840b12400" }), }); console.log(await response.json()); ``` ```python Python theme={null} import os import requests response = requests.post( "https://api.stophy.dev/v1/browser/task/status", headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['STOPHY_API_KEY']}"}, json={"id": "7c76df71-1d78-4d05-b09c-2f7840b12400"}, ) print(response.json()) ``` ```json 200 theme={null} { "success": true, "data": { "status": "done", "result": { "done": false, "reason": "The browser could not run this task.

Unknown fields are rejected with 400. Responses leave out empty values: null, empty strings, empty objects and empty nested lists are not sent. Text comes back whole. To get shorter responses, add ?maxTextLength= to the URL. Every text value longer than that is cut and ends with …. A screenshot is never cut, and a page whose text was cut has isTruncated set to true. x-credits is what one call costs. Every call costs the same, whatever it returns, unless an operation's description says it costs per 10 results, or per second of audio. Then x-credits is the lowest price and x-credits-max the most one call can cost. Where an operation takes limit, send it to return fewer results and pay for fewer. When a response has a cursor, send it back unchanged with the same input to get the next page. When it has a page, send the next page number. servers: - url: https://api.stophy.dev security: - apiKey: [] paths: /v1/browser/task/status: post: summary: Check a browser task and read its result description: Costs 0 credits per call. operationId: browserTaskStatus parameters: - $ref: '#/components/parameters/MaxTextLength' requestBody: required: true content: application/json: schema: type: object properties: id: type: string format: uuid pattern: >- ^([0-9a-fA-F]{8}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[1-8][0-9a-fA-F]{3}-[89abAB][0-9a-fA-F]{3}-[0-9a-fA-F]{12}|00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000|ffffffff-ffff-ffff-ffff-ffffffffffff)$ description: The id browser.task returned. required: - id additionalProperties: false responses: '200': description: The data, and the credits this call used. headers: X-Request-ID: $ref: '#/components/headers/RequestId' x-credits-used: $ref: '#/components/headers/CreditsUsed' X-RateLimit-Limit: $ref: '#/components/headers/RateLimitLimit' X-RateLimit-Remaining: $ref: '#/components/headers/RateLimitRemaining' X-RateLimit-Reset: $ref: '#/components/headers/RateLimitReset' x-cache: $ref: '#/components/headers/Cache' x-cache-age: $ref: '#/components/headers/CacheAge' content: application/json: schema: type: object required: - success - data - creditsUsed - requestId properties: success: const: true data: type: object additionalProperties: false properties: status: type: string enum: - running - done result: type: object additionalProperties: false properties: done: type: boolean reason: type: string steps: type: array items: type: string url: type: string title: type: string seconds: type: number fields: type: object propertyNames: type: string additionalProperties: anyOf: - anyOf: - type: string - type: number - type: boolean - type: array items: anyOf: - type: string - type: number - type: boolean confidence: type: object propertyNames: type: string additionalProperties: type: number required: - done creditsUsed: type: integer minimum: -9007199254740991 maximum: 9007199254740991 required: - status - creditsUsed creditsUsed: type: integer requestId: type: string 4XX: $ref: '#/components/responses/Error' 5XX: $ref: '#/components/responses/Error' components: parameters: MaxTextLength: name: maxTextLength in: query required: false description: >- Cut every text value in the response to this many characters.
