# ElevenLabs 3  — API Reference

Model ID: `model_elevenlabs-tts-v3`

---

## Authentication

Scenario API uses HTTP Basic Auth. Encode your credentials in Base64 and pass them as the `Authorization` header.

```
Authorization: Basic base64("<API_KEY>:<API_SECRET>")
```

- **API_KEY** and **API_SECRET** are found in your [Scenario Project Settings](https://app.scenario.com/team&tab=project_api_keys) under API Keys.
- In shell: `$(echo -n '<API_KEY>:<API_SECRET>' | base64)`
- In JavaScript: `btoa("<API_KEY>:<API_SECRET>")`
- In Python: `base64.b64encode(f"{api_key}:{api_secret}".encode()).decode()`

## Retrieve Results

After submitting a generation request, you receive a `jobId`. Poll the job status endpoint until the job completes.

**Endpoint:** `GET https://api.cloud.scenario.com/v1/jobs/{jobId}`

**Headers:**
```
Authorization: Basic base64("<API_KEY>:<API_SECRET>")
```

Poll until `job.status` is `"success"`. The generated asset IDs are in `job.metadata.assetIds`.

**Example response:**
```json
{
  "job": {
    "jobId": "job_abc123",
    "status": "success",
    "metadata": {
      "assetIds": [
        "asset_abc123"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

> **Important:** Generated asset URLs are **temporary** and expire after a short period. Download and store any images you wish to keep before the URL expires. More info: [Content Delivery Network (CDN)](https://docs.scenario.com/docs/content-delivery-network-cdn).
