How to poll a MiniMax H3 API task

Answer

Create the task server-side, persist its task ID, poll at a measured interval, and stop on every documented terminal state. Do not expose the API key in client JavaScript.

Try this sequence
  1. Submit and store the task ID.
  2. Back off between status checks.
  3. Handle success, failure, cancellation, timeout, and malformed responses.
