Idempotency
Use a UUID v4 in requestId or the Idempotency-Key HTTP header for each mutation. Reuse the same identifier and identical arguments after a network failure. If both are supplied, they must match. Replaying a saved request does not repeat the operation or charge another monthly call. Failed or interrupted requests are not restarted automatically. Every mutation can return HTTP 202 when a retry finds the same request still running, even when its first execution is normally synchronous. If execution completed but resultStored is false, a retry returns HTTP 200 with saved request state instead of the original result. Retrieve the output through its domain history, result, or download action.Request examples
Replace example resource identifiers and media keys with values returned for your account. Keep the request identifier stable when retrying the same mutation.curl --request POST 'https://api.voicecheap.ai/v1/actions/lipsync_create' \

Response
This operation returns HTTP 202 while running. Save requestId and poll action_request_get with that identifier and the original operation name. Polling states are running, completed, failed, and interrupted. A completed result can point to a separate media job; continue with the operation-specific status or output action. Returns the selected project, work and version identifiers with processing status after admitting lip sync.{

Operation notes
- The selected translated version must be completed and have both stored video and audio URLs. Caller-supplied video or audio URLs are not accepted.
- lipSyncMode defaults to standard and accepts standard, pro or studio. Plan access, duration and media credit checks still apply. activeSpeakerDetectionEnabled defaults to false.
- This is a long-running action. First poll action_request_get for this operation’s handler result; afterward poll projects_status or projects_get for lip-sync completion and its output URL.
- The handler result contains no lip-sync jobId or video URL. projects_get.translations[].lipSync provides the public latest entry and history.
- The authenticated actor retains project access checks; project billing ownership does not grant access to another member’s private projects.

Each successful invocation consumes one monthly API/MCP call. Media credits and the operation’s own generation allowances also apply.Errors

| 429 | INTEGRATION_MONTHLY_LIMIT_REACHED | Wait for the monthly reset or change plan. |
| 429 | INTEGRATION_RATE_LIMIT_REACHED | Wait for Retry-After when present and use backoff. |
| 500 | INTERNAL_ERROR | Check saved request state and resource history before deciding to retry a mutation. |
| 503 | ACTION_RESULT_UNAVAILABLE | The action ran but its result could not be saved. Inspect saved request state and resource history before starting a new generation. |
| 503 | SERVER_RESTARTING | The server is restarting. Retry shortly and keep the same request identifier for a mutation. |
