# Webhook: jobfailed

> POSTed to the job's registered webhook URL when the job fails; the payload's `error` carries the same envelope the poll endpoint returns. Delivery is at-least-once: dedupe on `X-Hedra-Webhook-Id` and verify `X-Hedra-Webhook-Signature` before acting.

  title: Hedra API v3
  description: >-
    Every leading image, video, and audio model behind one endpoint, one key,
    and one bill. Browse the [model
    catalog](https://www.hedra.com/develop/models), then ship with the same key.


    **Authenticate** every request with your API key — create one in the
    [developer console](https://www.hedra.com/develop/api-keys): `Authorization:
    Key <key_id>:<secret>`.


    **Quickstart** — submit a job, poll it, then read the output URL:


    ```bash

    # 1. Submit — capture the job id from the 202 ack

    JOB_ID=$(curl -sS -X POST https://api.hedra.com/v3/models/gpt-image-2 \
      -H "Authorization: Key $HEDRA_KEY" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"input": {"prompt": "a space cat", "quality": "medium", "aspect_ratio": "1:1", "resolution": "1K"}}' | jq -r .job_id)

    # 2. Poll until status is COMPLETED (or FAILED)

    curl https://api.hedra.com/v3/jobs/$JOB_ID/status -H "Authorization: Key
    $HEDRA_KEY"


    # 3. Read the result — outputs[].url holds the generated file

    curl https://api.hedra.com/v3/jobs/$JOB_ID -H "Authorization: Key
    $HEDRA_KEY"

    ```


    **Find a model** — `GET /models` lists every model with its `id` and human
    `name`; each operation in the *Run a model* section is titled with both, so
    a model you know by name ("GPT Image 2") maps straight to the id you submit
    to (`gpt-image-2`). One model's typed input schema: `GET
    /models/{id}/openapi.json`.


    Estimate cost before you run with `POST /models/{model}/estimate`, and check
    your balance at `GET /balance`. For volume pricing and custom limits, [talk

      **Delivery and retries.** Delivery is at-least-once. A `2xx` from your
      endpoint is success; anything else — including a redirect, which is never
      followed — is retried. Hedra makes up to **12 attempts over approximately
      6 hours**, backing off 10s, 30s, 90s, 4m30s, 13m30s, 40m30s, then hourly.
      An endpoint that is unreachable for the whole window is marked `FAILED`
      and is not retried again; replay it with `POST
      /webhooks/deliveries/{job_id}/redeliver`. Two failures are permanent and
      stop the ladder immediately: a URL that resolves to a blocked address
      range, and a redirect pointing at one.


      Because the retry window is bounded, respond quickly and do your own
      processing asynchronously — acknowledge with a `2xx` first.


      **Deduplication.** Key on **`X-Hedra-Webhook-Id`**. It identifies the
      *event* — it is the job's own id, and it is byte-identical across every
      retry and every replay. Do **not** hash the request body: each attempt
      re-signs the output URL, so the body legitimately differs between attempts
      of the same event and a body hash would treat every retry as new.


      Each POST also carries `X-Hedra-Webhook-Attempt` (1-based, informational)
      and **`X-Hedra-Webhook-Redelivery`** (`true` / `false`). Redelivery is the
      exception to deduplication: when it is `true`, an operator asked for this
      event to be sent again — process it even if you have already recorded that
      id, because that request is the whole reason it was sent.


      **Inspecting deliveries.** `GET /webhooks/deliveries` reports each
      delivery's cumulative `attempts`, its latest outcome (`status`,
      `last_response_status`, `last_error`), and its replay history:
      `redelivery_count` counts operator replays, and `redeliveries` archives
      the outcome each replay superseded — a replay re-sends on the same
      delivery record and never erases the previous result. Each entry's
      `attempts` value is the cumulative total when that replay was requested,
      so the per-cycle attempt counts (and any total beyond the 12-attempt
      ladder) can be read off the record directly.


      **Why a delivery failed.** `last_error` — on the delivery and on every
      archived replay entry — is the same error envelope a failed job returns
      from `GET /jobs/{job_id}`, not a free-text diagnostic. Its `code` comes
      from the one error vocabulary this API uses, narrowed for delivery to this
      set:


      | `code` | Means |

      | --- | --- |

      | `DEADLINE_EXCEEDED` | Your endpoint did not respond before the delivery
      timeout. |

      | `UNAVAILABLE` | Your endpoint could not be reached (DNS, TLS, or
      connection failure) or answered `5xx` — or redirected, which is never
      followed. |

      | `RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED` | Your endpoint answered `429`. |

      | `UNAUTHORIZED` | Your endpoint answered `401`. |

      | `PERMISSION_DENIED` | Your endpoint answered `403`. |

      | `NOT_FOUND` | Your endpoint answered `404`. |

      | `INVALID_ARGUMENT` | Your endpoint answered some other `4xx`. |

      | `FAILED_PRECONDITION` | The URL is not a permitted webhook target — it
      resolves to a blocked address range, or redirects to one. Fix the URL;
      replaying will not help. |

      | `INTERNAL` | Hedra could not build the payload. |

      | `UNKNOWN` | No classification is available, including for deliveries
      that failed before this field became structured. |


      `retryable` describes the condition, not what Hedra did: every non-2xx
      response is retried on the ladder above, so it answers whether replaying
      the delivery is likely to help. The `message` is a fixed summary — your
      endpoint's URL, address, headers, credentials, and response body are never
      echoed back, so treat your own logs, not this field, as the record of what
      your endpoint returned.


      **Verifying a delivery.** Every request carries
      `X-Hedra-Webhook-Signature`, a hex-encoded ed25519 signature over a
      canonical string of **five newline-separated fields, in this order**:


      ```

      {X-Hedra-Webhook-Timestamp}

      {X-Hedra-Webhook-Id}

      {X-Hedra-Webhook-Event}

      {X-Hedra-Webhook-Redelivery}

      {sha256 hex digest of the raw request body}

      ```


      Rebuild that string from the request you received, verify it against the
      key from `GET /webhooks/public-key`, and reject the delivery if the
      timestamp is more than 5 minutes old. Hash the body **exactly as
      received**, before any JSON parsing or re-serialization.


      The signature deliberately covers the deduplication id and the redelivery
      flag, not just the body — both of them decide whether you process a
      duplicate, so an unsigned copy of either would let anyone who captured a
      delivery replay it past your idempotency check. Verify *before* you act on
      any header. `X-Hedra-Webhook-Attempt` is outside the signature and is
      informational only; do not branch on it.

      Stream signed job lifecycle logs to HTTPS destinations.


      **Why the last batch failed.** `last_error` is the same error envelope a
      failed job returns from `GET /jobs/{job_id}`, not a free-text diagnostic.
      It is null until a batch fails and is cleared again on the next success.
      Its `code` comes from the one error vocabulary this API uses, narrowed for
      drain delivery to this set:


      | `code` | Means |

      | --- | --- |

      | `DEADLINE_EXCEEDED` | Your destination did not respond before the
      delivery timeout. |

      | `UNAVAILABLE` | Your destination could not be reached (DNS, TLS, or
      connection failure) or answered `5xx` — or redirected, which is never
      followed. |

      | `RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED` | Your destination answered `429`. |

      | `UNAUTHORIZED` | Your destination answered `401`. |

      | `PERMISSION_DENIED` | Your destination answered `403`. |

      | `NOT_FOUND` | Your destination answered `404`. |

      | `INVALID_ARGUMENT` | Your destination answered some other `4xx`. |

      | `FAILED_PRECONDITION` | The URL is not a permitted log drain target — it
      resolves to a blocked address range. Fix the URL; retrying will not help.
      |

      | `INTERNAL` | Hedra could not prepare the batch. |

      | `UNKNOWN` | No classification is available, including for drains that
      last failed before this field became structured. |


      `retryable` describes the condition, not what Hedra did: every failed
      batch is requeued until the drain auto-disables, so it answers whether
      fixing the destination and re-enabling is likely to help. The `message` is
      a fixed summary — your destination's URL, headers, credentials, and
      response body are never echoed back, so treat your own logs, not this
      field, as the record of what your destination returned.


      `disabled_reason` answers a different question and stays its own small
      vocabulary: `consecutive_failures` when five batches in a row failed,
      `disabled_by_user` when you turned the drain off.
