Synchronous Response (without callback_url)

{
  "success": true,
  "task_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
  "trace_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440001",
  "started_at": "2026-05-02T10:30:00.123Z",
  "finished_at": "2026-05-02T10:30:05.456Z",
  "elapsed": 5.333,
  "data": {
    "kind": "render",
    "url": "https://example.com",
    "title": "Example Domain",
    "html": "<!doctype html>...",
    "text": "Example Domain ...",
    "markdown": "# Example Domain\n...",
    "screenshot": "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0K...",
    "links": ["https://www.iana.org/domains/example"]
  }
}

​
Asynchronous Mode (with callback_url)

Initial response: 
{
  "success": true,
  "task_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
  "trace_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440001",
  "started_at": "2026-05-02T10:30:00.123Z"
}
The response header will include x-usage-exempt: true, indicating this synchronous handshake is free of charge. Once the task is completed, the platform will send a POST request to the callback_url. The request body contains the data field from the synchronous response plus the same task_id / trace_id / started_at / finished_at / elapsed fields.
