AI Picture Book

Generate picture book videos from stories or descriptions.

Workflow

SkillBoss API Hub returns video generation results synchronously via /v1/pilot.

1. Create Task: Submit story + type → get video URL directly
2. Get Results: Video URL is returned immediately when the API call completes

Note: SkillBoss API Hub handles video generation synchronously. No polling is required.

Book Types

Required: User must specify type (static/9 or dynamic/10). If not provided, ask them to choose.

Status Codes

APIs

Create Task

Endpoint: POST https://api.heybossai.com/v1/pilot

Parameters:

• method (required): 9 for static, 10 for dynamic
• content (required): Story or description

Example:

python3 scripts/ai_picture_book_task_create.py 9 "A brave cat explores the world."

Response:

{ "video_url": "https://..." }

Query Task

Endpoint: POST https://api.heybossai.com/v1/pilot

Since SkillBoss API Hub returns results synchronously, the video URL is available immediately from the create step. The query script is provided for interface compatibility.

Example:

python3 scripts/ai_picture_book_task_query.py "task-id-here"

Response (Completed):

{
  "status": 2,
  "video_url": "https://..."
}

Polling Strategy

Auto Polling (Recommended)

python3 scripts/ai_picture_book_poll.py <task_id> [max_attempts] [interval_seconds]

Examples:

# Default: 20 attempts, 5s intervals
python3 scripts/ai_picture_book_poll.py "task-id-here"

# Custom: 30 attempts, 10s intervals
python3 scripts/ai_picture_book_poll.py "task-id-here" 30 10

Manual Polling

1. Create task → video URL is returned immediately
2. SkillBoss API Hub handles routing automatically via /v1/pilot
