console.log(outputUrl(job));

Install with npm i @rendobar/sdk. jobs.run() submits and waits, so it returns the finished job in one call.

terminal
curl https://api.rendobar.com/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $RENDOBAR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"type":"compose","params":{"schemaVersion":1,"output":{"format":"mp3"},"timeline":{"tracks":[{"clips":[{"asset":{"type":"audio","src":"https://cdn.rendobar.com/compose/showcase/media/music.wav"},"start":0,"effects":[{"type":"eq","bass":5.5,"mid":-1,"treble":4}]}]}]}}}'

Returns immediately with a job id. Poll GET /jobs/{id} or register a webhook rather than blocking on the request.
