When you submit a video modification task to the Luma API, you can use the callBackUrl parameter to set a callback URL. The system will automatically push the results to your specified address when the task is completed.
Callback Mechanism Overview
The callback mechanism eliminates the need to poll the API for task status. The system will proactively push task completion results to your server.
Callback Timing
The system will send callback notifications in the following situations:
Video modification task completed successfully
Video modification task failed
Errors occurred during task processing
Callback Method
HTTP Method : POST
Content Type : application/json
Timeout Setting : 15 seconds
When the task is completed, the system will send a POST request to your callBackUrl in the following format:
Success Callback
Generation Failure Callback
{
"code" : 200 ,
"msg" : "Modify record generated successfully." ,
"data" : {
"taskId" : "774d9a7dd608a0e49293903095e45a4c" ,
"promptJson" : "{ \" callBackUrl \" : \" https://b7af305f36d6.ngrok-free.app/api/v1/modify/test \" , \" prompt \" : \" A futuristic cityscape at night with towering glass spires reaching into a starry sky. Neon lights in blue and purple illuminate the buildings while flying vehicles glide silently between the structures. Holographic advertisements flicker and change on building facades. \" , \" videoUrl \" : \" https://tempfile.aiquickdraw.com/kieai/file/veo3-video/1755074605154fqb0m8ge.mp4 \" , \" waterMark \" : \"\" }" ,
"resultUrls" : [
"https://tempfile.aiquickdraw.com/l/f782018c-6be4-4990-96ba-7231cd5a39e7.mp4"
]
}
}
Status Code Description
Callback status code indicating task processing result: Status Code Description 200 Success - Video modification completed successfully 500 Failed - Video modification task failed
Status message providing detailed status description
Task ID, consistent with the taskId returned when you submitted the task
Original request parameters in JSON format, including the prompt, video URL, callback URL, and watermark settings
Generated video URLs. Only present on successful completion (code 200).
Callback Reception Examples
Here are example codes for receiving callbacks in popular programming languages:
const express = require ( 'express' );
const fs = require ( 'fs' );
const https = require ( 'https' );
const app = express ();
app . use ( express . json ());
app . post ( '/luma-modify-callback' , ( req , res ) => {
const { code , msg , data } = req . body ;
console . log ( 'Received Luma video modification callback:' , {
taskId: data . taskId ,
status: code ,
message: msg
});
if ( code === 200 ) {
// Task completed successfully
console . log ( 'Luma video modification completed successfully' );
const { taskId , promptJson , resultUrls } = data ;
console . log ( `Task ID: ${ taskId } ` );
console . log ( `Original Parameters: ${ promptJson } ` );
console . log ( `Generated Video URLs: ${ resultUrls . join ( ', ' ) } ` );
// Download generated videos
resultUrls . forEach (( url , index ) => {
const filename = `luma_result_ ${ taskId } _ ${ index + 1 } .mp4` ;
downloadFile ( url , filename )
. then (() => console . log ( `Video ${ index + 1 } downloaded successfully` ))
. catch ( err => console . error ( `Video ${ index + 1 } download failed:` , err ));
});
} else {
// Task failed
console . log ( 'Luma video modification failed:' , msg );
// Log original parameters for debugging
const { promptJson } = data ;
console . log ( 'Original parameters:' , promptJson );
// Handle specific error cases
console . log ( 'Please check your input video and prompt, then try again' );
}
// Return 200 status code to confirm callback received
res . status ( 200 ). json ({ status: 'received' });
});
// Helper function to download files
function downloadFile ( url , filename ) {
return new Promise (( resolve , reject ) => {
const file = fs . createWriteStream ( filename );
https . get ( url , ( response ) => {
if ( response . statusCode === 200 ) {
response . pipe ( file );
file . on ( 'finish' , () => {
file . close ();
resolve ();
});
} else {
reject ( new Error ( `HTTP ${ response . statusCode } ` ));
}
}). on ( 'error' , reject );
});
}
app . listen ( 3000 , () => {
console . log ( 'Luma callback server running on port 3000' );
});
Best Practices
Callback URL Configuration Recommendations
Use HTTPS : Ensure your callback URL uses HTTPS protocol for secure data transmission
Verify Source : Verify the legitimacy of the request source in callback processing
Idempotent Processing : The same taskId may receive multiple callbacks, ensure processing logic is idempotent
Quick Response : Callback processing should return a 200 status code as quickly as possible to avoid timeout
Asynchronous Processing : Complex business logic should be processed asynchronously to avoid blocking callback response
Timely Download : Download generated videos promptly as they may expire after some time
Important Reminders
Callback URL must be a publicly accessible address
Server must respond within 15 seconds, otherwise it will be considered a timeout
If 3 consecutive retries fail, the system will stop sending callbacks
Generated video URLs may expire - download immediately upon receiving callback
Please ensure the stability of callback processing logic to avoid callback failures due to exceptions
Need to handle both success and failure status codes for complete error handling
Large video files may take time to download - implement appropriate timeout settings
Troubleshooting
If you do not receive callback notifications, please check the following:
Network Connection Issues
Confirm that the callback URL is accessible from the public network
Check firewall settings to ensure inbound requests are not blocked
Verify that domain name resolution is correct
Ensure the server returns HTTP 200 status code within 15 seconds
Check server logs for error messages
Verify that the interface path and HTTP method are correct
Confirm that the received POST request body is in JSON format
Check that Content-Type is application/json
Verify that JSON parsing is correct
Confirm that video URLs are accessible
Check video download permissions and network connections
Verify video save paths and permissions
Handle video download timeouts and retry logic
Implement checksum validation for large video files
Check if video modification parameters are reasonable
Verify input video format and quality
Confirm prompt length and format
Consider adjusting modification parameters and retry
Review error messages in promptJson for debugging
Alternative Solution
If you cannot use the callback mechanism, you can also use polling:
Poll Query Results Use the get Luma modify details endpoint to regularly query task status. We recommend querying every 30 seconds for video generation tasks.
