OATDA Video Status

Check the status of asynchronous video generation tasks. Companion to oatda-generate-video.

API Key Resolution

All commands need the OATDA API key. Resolve it inline for each exec call:

export OATDA_API_KEY="${OATDA_API_KEY:-$(cat ~/.oatda/credentials.json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.profiles[.defaultProfile].apiKey' 2>/dev/null)}"

If the key is empty or null, tell the user to get one at https://oatda.com and configure it.

Security: Never print the full API key. Only verify existence or show first 8 chars.

Prerequisites

The user must provide a task ID from a previous oatda-generate-video call. If they don't have one, tell them to generate a video first.

API Call

export OATDA_API_KEY="${OATDA_API_KEY:-$(cat ~/.oatda/credentials.json 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.profiles[.defaultProfile].apiKey' 2>/dev/null)}" && \
curl -s -X GET "https://oatda.com/api/v1/llm/video-status/<TASK_ID>" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OATDA_API_KEY"

Replace with the actual task ID. URL-encode if it contains special characters.

• Video generation typically takes 30 seconds to 5 minutes
• Video URLs may be temporary — recommend downloading promptly
• If processing, suggest waiting 30-60 seconds before rechecking
• Use oatda-generate-video to start a new video generation
