Gemini → Check Video Job Status

Overview

This action allows you to check the status of a video generation job submitted to the Gemini API. By providing the unique operation name returned from the video generation request, you can monitor if the video is still being processed or is ready for download.

Inputs

Function Stack

1. Gemini API Request
   • Sends a GET request to:

https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/{name}

where {name} is the value returned in the original video generation operation. 2. Precondition - Validates the response status as 200 (success). 3. Response - Returns the result, showing the full status details for the video job.

Example Usage

Request

{
  "gemini_api_key": "AIzaSyD...",
  "name": "models/veo-3.0-generate-preview/operations/abcd1234"
}

Response

{
  "done": true,
  "response": {
    "generatedVideos": [
      {
        "video": {
          "uri": "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/files/abcd1234...",
          "mimeType": "video/mp4"
        },
        "durationSeconds": 5
        // ...other metadata
      }
    ]
  }
}

Notes

• Use the operation name (such as models/veo-3.0-generate-preview/operations/abcd1234) exactly as provided in the video generation response.
• Poll this endpoint periodically until you see "done": true in the response.
• Once the job is complete, video URIs and result metadata will be included in the response.

Troubleshooting

• PERMISSION_DENIED or INVALID_ARGUMENT: Verify your API key and the correct name value.
• Operation appears stuck: Wait and poll again, as rendering may take several seconds or longer for complex or high-resolution videos.
• Missing video in response: Ensure you are referencing the correct and currently active operation.
