C-Drama Episode Translation en-zh

Translate a short-drama episode, retaining subtitle cue identity and timing. A private series key carries approved terminology into later episodes and unambiguous renderings into the reverse direction. Output is a draft with mechanical checks and requires review before production approval.

How to buy with x402

  1. Send the request without payment. The server answers 402 Payment Required with a base64 JSON PAYMENT-REQUIRED header holding the amount, asset, network and payee.
  2. Have your wallet sign an EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization for exactly those terms (an x402 client library does this for you).
  3. Repeat the identical request with the signed payload in the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header.
  4. The server verifies, runs the operation, settles, and returns 200 with the result and a PAYMENT-RESPONSE header carrying the settlement receipt.

Read the price without paying

curl --include --request POST --header 'accept: application/json' --header 'content-type: application/json' --data-raw '{"subtitles":"1\n00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,200\nMr. Gu, your coffee.\n","episodeId":"episode-1","approvedTerms":[{"direction":"en-zh","source":"Mr. Gu","target":"顾总裁"}]}' --url 'https://market.561.group/v1/translate/en-zh/cdrama-subtitles'

This request authorizes nothing; it returns the live payment terms. Read the full explanation of x402.
