API Reference (Exact Formats)

1. Check Credits

curl -H "Authorization: ApiKey $VERGING_API_KEY" \
  https://verging.ai/api/v1/auth/me

Response: {"email":"...","name":"...","credits":100}

2. Get Upload URL (Form Data - NOT JSON)

# ⚠️ MUST use -F (multipart form-data), NOT -d (JSON)
curl -X POST https://verging.ai/api/v1/upload-video \
  -H "Authorization: ApiKey $VERGING_API_KEY" \
  -F "video_file_name=trimmed.mp4" \
  -F "job_type=face-swap"

Response:

{
  "code": 100000,
  "result": {
    "url": "https://...r2.cloudflarestorage.com/...?X-Amz-...",
    "public_url": "https://img.panpan8.com/face-swap/2026-05-31/xxx.mp4"
  }
}

3. Upload Video to R2 (PUT with binary body)

curl -X PUT -T /tmp/verging-faceswap/trimmed.mp4 \
  -H "Content-Type: video/mp4" \
  "<presigned_url_from_step_2>"

4. Create Face Swap Job (Multipart — face image uploaded here directly)

# ⚠️ swap_image is a FILE upload (@path) — the server uploads it to R2 internally
# ⚠️ You do NOT need to separately upload the face image via /upload-video
curl -X POST https://verging.ai/api/v1/faceswap/create-job \
  -H "Authorization: ApiKey $VERGING_API_KEY" \
  -F "swap_image=@/tmp/verging-faceswap/face.jpg" \
  -F "file_name=video.mp4" \
  -F "target_video_url=<video_public_url_from_step_2>" \
  -F "user_video_duration=30" \
  -F "is_hd=false"

Response: {"code":10000,"result":{"job_id":295,...}}

5. Poll Job Status

curl -H "Authorization: ApiKey $VERGING_API_KEY" \
  "https://verging.ai/api/v1/faceswap/jobs?job_ids=295"

Response: [{"id":295,"status":"COMPLETED","progress":100,"result_url":"https://..."}]

Execution Flow (Follow Exactly)

1. Parse args → extract video path/URL, face path/URL, options
2. Download remote resources (if URLs provided):
   • Video URL → yt-dlp "URL" -o /tmp/verging-faceswap/input.mp4
   • Image URL → curl -L -o /tmp/verging-faceswap/face.jpg "URL"
3. Get video duration → ffprobe -v error -show_entries format=duration -of default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1 video.mp4
4. Trim if needed (--start/--end or duration > 30s):

   ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss <start> -to <end> -c:v libx264 -c:a aac /tmp/verging-faceswap/trimmed.mp4
   

5. Check credits → GET /api/v1/auth/me (need duration × 1 or ×3 for HD)
6. Upload video only → POST /upload-video (Form Data) → PUT to presigned URL
7. Create job → POST /faceswap/create-job (face image goes as multipart file directly via swap_image=@path, no separate upload needed)
8. Poll status → GET /faceswap/jobs?job_ids=X every 5 seconds until COMPLETED
9. Return/download result → show result_url, optionally curl download

Critical Notes

• Use Authorization: ApiKey <key> (recommended) — Bearer <key> also works
• Only the VIDEO needs separate upload via /upload-video + PUT to presigned URL
• Face image is uploaded directly in create-job as multipart swap_image=@path — no separate upload step
• /upload-video uses Form Data (-F) — NOT JSON (-d)
• Max video duration: 30 seconds — trim longer videos first
• Temp directory: /tmp/verging-faceswap/ — create with mkdir -p
• If yt-dlp is unavailable, ask user to download video manually
