### Input Schema
The API accepts the following input parameters:

- **`seed`** (`integer`, _optional_):
  Random seed [0, 2147483647].
  - Range: `0` to `2147483647`

- **`audio`** (`boolean | null`, _optional_):
  Enable automatic audio generation. Set to false to force a silent output.
  - Default: `true`

  Enable intelligent prompt rewriting (slightly longer latency, better detail).
  - Default: `true`

- **`safety_filter`** (`boolean | null`, _optional_):
  Enable content safety filter. Defaults to true. Set to false to disable content safety inspection.
  - Default: `true`

## Variant: /vendors/alibaba/v1/wan2.6-i2v/generation/{task_id}

Endpoint: `POST /vendors/alibaba/v1/wan2.6-i2v/generation/{task_id}`

## Usage (Async Task API)
This model uses an async task-based workflow with two API calls:
1. **Submit a task** — `POST /v1/inference/wan2-6-i2v` to create a generation task
2. **Poll for result** — `GET /v1/inference/wan2-6-i2v/{task_id}` to check status and retrieve the result

### Step 1: Submit a Task

#### cURL
```bash
curl -X POST https://api.mulerouter.ai/vendors/alibaba/v1/wan2.6-i2v/generation \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_MULEROUTER_API_KEY>" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "Your prompt here"
  }'
```

#### Python
```python
import requests

API_KEY = "<YOUR_MULEROUTER_API_KEY>"
ENDPOINT = "https://api.mulerouter.ai/vendors/alibaba/v1/wan2.6-i2v/generation"

response = requests.post(
    ENDPOINT,
    headers={
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}"
    },
    json={
        "prompt": "Your prompt here"
    }
)

result = response.json()
task_id = result["task_info"]["id"]
print(f"Task created: {task_id}")
```

#### Node.js / TypeScript
```typescript
const API_KEY = "<YOUR_MULEROUTER_API_KEY>";
const ENDPOINT = "https://api.mulerouter.ai/vendors/alibaba/v1/wan2.6-i2v/generation";

const response = await fetch(ENDPOINT, {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "Authorization": `Bearer ${API_KEY}`
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
        prompt: "Your prompt here"
    })
});

const result = await response.json();
const taskId = result.task_info.id;
console.log("Task created:", taskId);
```

#### Submit Response (202)
```json
{
  "task_info": {
    "id": "8e1e315e-b50d-4334-a231-be7d19a372f4",
    "status": "processing",
    "created_at": "2026-01-01T00:00:00.000Z"
  }
}
```

### Step 2: Poll for Result

Use the task ID from Step 1 to poll the status endpoint until the task is completed.

Endpoint: `GET /v1/inference/wan2-6-i2v/{task_id}`

#### cURL
```bash
curl -X GET https://api.mulerouter.ai/vendors/alibaba/v1/wan2.6-i2v/generation/<TASK_ID> \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_MULEROUTER_API_KEY>"
```

#### Python
```python
import time

status_url = f"https://api.mulerouter.ai/vendors/alibaba/v1/wan2.6-i2v/generation/{task_id}"

while True:
    status = requests.get(status_url, headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}"
    }).json()
    task_status = status["task_info"]["status"]
    if task_status in ("completed", "succeeded"):
        print("Result:", status)
        break
    elif task_status == "failed":
        print("Task failed:", status)
        break
    time.sleep(5)
```

#### Node.js / TypeScript
```typescript
const statusUrl = `https://api.mulerouter.ai/vendors/alibaba/v1/wan2.6-i2v/generation/${taskId}`;

while (true) {
    const statusRes = await fetch(statusUrl, {
        headers: { "Authorization": `Bearer ${API_KEY}` }
    });
    const status = await statusRes.json();
    const taskStatus = status.task_info.status;
    if (taskStatus === "completed" || taskStatus === "succeeded") {
        console.log("Result:", status);
        break;
    } else if (taskStatus === "failed") {
        console.log("Task failed:", status);
        break;
    }
    await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 5000));
}
```
