If the response status is "queued" or "running", poll GET https://api.doitong.com/v1/requests/REQUEST_ID?wait=20 until it is "succeeded"; the files are in outputs[].url. POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/auto-caption with the same body returns the exact price before the run.

About Auto-Captioner
Transcribes audio from an .mp4 `video_url` (under 400MB) and burns captions into the video. Style it with `txt_color`, `txt_font`, `font_size`, `stroke_width`, and `text_case`. Position uses `left_align` and `top_align`. `refresh_interval` of 0.5 to 3 seconds sets how long captions stay on screen.
Parameters
Send either the canonical name or the native name, not both. Canonical names
video_urlrequired
video
txt_coloroptional
txt_fontoptional
font_sizeoptional
stroke_widthoptional
left_alignoptional
top_alignoptional
refresh_intervaloptional
text_caseoptional
File parameters take a public https:// URL, a data: URI up to 10 MB, or the file_url of an upload. Files
