Free, before buying anything: a shared test phone number and a 4-digit code (valid 24 hours, 5 calls). Calling the number and keying the code reaches an AI receptionist answering as the business described here, and hear_url plays the same receptionist in a browser. Nothing is booked, sent or charged on a test line; it shows how a real one sounds. Needs a signed-in account (any permissions). For a

The signed-in owner's own After Hours lines and pending setups. New lines use phone minutes; existing per-call lines retain calls.

Callers are shown by their last four digits only. Needs lines:manage and changes nothing.

The live price list and limits for Odile Formats, which reformats an existing video or photos for social platforms (it does not pick clips, write captions or edit). Call it first, before estimate_media_job or prepare_upload, to learn the preset and fit names, the file limits and the job flow. Needs no sign-in, takes no arguments and changes nothing. Returns { currency, packs[{id, credits, cents}],

Price an Odile Formats job in credits before anything is uploaded or charged; use it to tell the customer the cost and get their approval before unlock_job. Needs no sign-in and changes nothing. Photos are priced exactly. Reel, Feed and Square video outputs cost exactly 1 credit each; YouTube 16:9 costs 1 or 2 because the length is only known once the file is read. Returns { minimum_credits, maxim

The signed-in customer's Odile Formats credit balance. Use it before unlock_job to check the job is affordable, or when the customer asks what they have left. Needs a signed-in connection; takes no arguments and changes nothing. Returns { account, credits (whole number, 0 when empty), next_expiry ({ at: epoch milliseconds, credits } for the next credits to lapse, or null), buy_credits_at }. To buy

One Odile Formats job by id, or the ten most recent when no id is given. Use it to poll a job after create_media_job (every 10-20 seconds, up to 10 minutes) until state is ready or failed; if it is still rendering after that, tell the customer and check again later (nothing is charged until unlock_job). Needs a signed-in connection and changes nothing. Returns one job { job_id, kind, state (queued

Signed download links for every finished file of a job, once unlock_job has succeeded for it. Use it as the last step of the flow, and again whenever links have expired. Needs a signed-in connection and changes nothing. Returns { job_id, files[{name, preset, bytes, width, height, duration, url, expires_at}], how }. Each link works for 15 minutes and needs no login: fetch the files with curl (see h

Step one of an Odile Formats job: returns a 30-minute upload token and the helper command. Run the helper in a shell on the customer's machine: file bytes go straight to Odile and never enter this conversation. The helper prints the source keys to pass to create_media_job. Needs a signed-in connection with write access; nothing is charged. Returns { kind, upload_token, expires_at, helper_url, run[

Queue an Odile Formats job from sources uploaded with prepare_upload's helper. Costs nothing: credits are only spent by unlock_job, after the customer approves. One set of uploads makes exactly one job: calling it again with the same sources returns the existing job (replayed: true) whatever outputs, fit or trim are passed, so to render different outputs, upload again with prepare_upload. Needs a

Spends the customer's credits to unlock a finished job's files. Only call once get_job says the job is ready and the customer has approved a maximum spend. Refuses, charging nothing, if the job costs more than max_credits, is not ready, or the balance is short (the error says which, with the amount needed). A job that is already unlocked comes back as it is, with no charge and no balance or max_cr

Returns a one-time Stripe checkout link for a prepaid pack; the customer opens it and pays on Stripe's own page, and this connection never sees the card. Only call it when the customer asked to buy, and tell them the price first.
