# Poll for result
while True:

        "clientKey": API_KEY,
        "taskId": task_id
    }).json()

    if result["status"] == "ready":
        token = result["solution"]["token"]
        print("Token:", token)
        break
    elif result["status"] == "failed":
        print("Error:", result.get("errorDescription"))
        break

    time.sleep(5)

  body: JSON.stringify({
    clientKey: API_KEY,
