    "prompt": "A medieval castle on a cliff at sunrise, fog in the valley",

    "camera_control": {
        "type": "simple",
        "config": {
            "horizontal": 5,    # pan right (negative = left), range -10 to 10
            "vertical": 0,      # tilt (negative = down, positive = up)
            "zoom": 3,          # zoom in (positive) or out (negative)
            "roll": 0,          # rotation
            "pan": 0,           # dolly left/right
            "tilt": -2,         # dolly up/down
        }

Error Handling

Error	Cause	Fix
`400` invalid prompt	Empty or >2500 chars	Check prompt length
`400` invalid model	Unsupported `model_name`	Use valid model ID from catalog
`402` insufficient credits	Not enough credits	Top up account
`task_status: failed`	Content policy violation or complexity	Simplify prompt, remove restricted content
