Properties
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| id | string | The unique identifier for the generation task. |
| status | string | The current processing status of the task. |
| createdAt | string | The ISO 8601 timestamp when the task was created. |
| output | array | One or more URLs linking to the generated output media. Only present when the task status is SUCCEEDED. |
