- **Type**: `string`
- **Required**: true
- **Value**: `videoInference`

Identifier for the type of task being performed

### [taskUUID](https://runware.ai/docs/models/bytedance-omnihuman-1#request-taskuuid)

- **Type**: `string`
- **Required**: true
- **Format**: `UUID v4`

UUID v4 identifier for tracking tasks and matching async responses. Must be unique per task.

### [outputType](https://runware.ai/docs/models/bytedance-omnihuman-1#request-outputtype)

- **Type**: `string`
- **Default**: `URL`

Video output type.

**Allowed values**: `URL`

### [outputFormat](https://runware.ai/docs/models/bytedance-omnihuman-1#request-outputformat)

- **Type**: `string`
- **Default**: `MP4`

Specifies the file format of the generated output. The available values depend on the task type and the specific model's capabilities.

- \`MP4\`: Widely supported video container (H.264), recommended for general use.
- \`WEBM\`: Optimized for web delivery.
- \`MOV\`: QuickTime format, common in professional workflows (Apple ecosystem).

**Allowed values**: `MP4` `WEBM` `MOV`

### [outputQuality](https://runware.ai/docs/models/bytedance-omnihuman-1#request-outputquality)

- **Type**: `integer`
- **Min**: `20`
- **Max**: `99`
- **Default**: `95`

Compression quality of the output. Higher values preserve quality but increase file size.

### [webhookURL](https://runware.ai/docs/models/bytedance-omnihuman-1#request-webhookurl)

- **Type**: `string`
- **Format**: `URI`

Specifies a webhook URL where JSON responses will be sent via HTTP POST when generation tasks complete. For batch requests with multiple results, each completed item triggers a separate webhook call as it becomes available.

### [deliveryMethod](https://runware.ai/docs/models/bytedance-omnihuman-1#request-deliverymethod)

- **Type**: `string`
- **Default**: `async`

Determines how the API delivers task results.

**Allowed values**:

### [uploadEndpoint](https://runware.ai/docs/models/bytedance-omnihuman-1#request-uploadendpoint)

- **Type**: `string`
- **Format**: `URI`

Specifies a URL where the generated content will be automatically uploaded using the HTTP PUT method. The raw binary data of the media file is sent directly as the request body. For secure uploads to cloud storage, use presigned URLs that include temporary authentication credentials.

**Common use cases:**

- **Cloud storage**: Upload directly to S3 buckets, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage using presigned URLs.
- **CDN integration**: Upload to content delivery networks for immediate distribution.

```text
// S3 presigned URL for secure upload
https://your-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/generated/content.mp4?X-Amz-Signature=abc123&X-Amz-Expires=3600

// Google Cloud Storage presigned URL
https://storage.googleapis.com/your-bucket/content.jpg?X-Goog-Signature=xyz789

// Custom storage endpoint
https://storage.example.com/uploads/generated-image.jpg
```

The content data will be sent as the request body to the specified URL when generation is complete.
