Idempotency keys make media retries safe.
Video APIs fail on flaky networks. An idempotency key lets your backend retry create-job without spawning duplicate renders or confusing ledger state.
- Generate a stable key per user-visible render intent.
- Send it on estimate/create as documented in the API.
- Treat duplicate responses as success, not a new job.
- Still verify terminal webhooks idempotently — signed webhook retries.
