# Delete Snapshot

> Delete a snapshot: it is never listed or restored again, and its stored files are deleted. Free. Refused
(`409 snapshot_in_use`) while a paused machine resumes from it: resume or release that machine first. Deleting a
deleted snapshot answers the same.

  title: Voyager API
  description: >-
    Generate images, video, speech, music, sound effects and 3D with your
    Voyager workspace's credits. Authenticate with `Authorization: Bearer
    vy_live_…`. Every response carries `X-Request-ID` and the
    `X-RateLimit-Limit` / `X-RateLimit-Remaining` / `X-RateLimit-Reset` (seconds
    until the window resets) headers; a 429 adds `Retry-After`. Errors share one
    envelope (`ErrorResponse`); a method a path does not take is 405
    `method_not_allowed`. Some catalog operations run only through the Voyager
    MCP today (voice-change, text-to-motion, retexture, convert-3d, uv-unwrap;
    `x-voyager-mcp-only-operations`): this API's model listings leave them out.

    Voyager generates images, video, speech, music, sound effects, 3D, object
    masks, upscaled media, separated audio, background cut-outs and SVG vectors
    with the same models

    and credits as the Voyager app. Docs: https://docs.voyager.so/api 
    (agent-readable:

    1. Key: read it from the env var VOYAGER_API_KEY. Never hard-code it or
    commit it; add
       VOYAGER_API_KEY= to .env.example and make sure .env is git-ignored. If it's missing,
       ask me to create one at https://voyager.so/dashboard/api (paid plans).
    2. Base URL https://api.voyager.so/v1, header: Authorization: Bearer
    $VOYAGER_API_KEY

    3. Pick a model: GET
    /models?type=image|video|speech|music|sound_effect|3d|segment|upscale|audio_separation|remove_background|vectorize.
    Read
       GET /models/{id} for its input_schema before building a request.
    4. Optional cost check: POST /estimate with the same body as step 5; it
    returns
       estimated_charge (credits) and can_run.
    5. Create: POST /jobs {"model": "<id>", "operation": "<op>", "input": {...}}
    with an Idempotency-Key header
       (a new UUID per logical request; reuse it when retrying the same request).
    6. Wait: GET /jobs/{id}?wait=25 until status is succeeded, failed or
    canceled
       (honor Retry-After / poll_after_ms). Or pass "webhook_url" and verify the
       Standard Webhooks signature with the secret from the dashboard.
    7. Results: job.outputs[].url is a signed link valid for 1 hour; download it
    right
       away, or GET /jobs/{id} again for a fresh link. Files are kept 30 days.
    8. Errors are {"error": {"code","message","retryable",...}}. 402 = out of
    credits or
       not on a paid plan (show error.details.upgrade_url to me). 429 = slow down: wait
       Retry-After seconds. Retry only when retryable is true, with the same Idempotency-Key.

    Minimal example (curl):
      curl -s https://api.voyager.so/v1/jobs \
        -H "Authorization: Bearer $VOYAGER_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
        -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
        -d '{"model":"nano-banana-2.1","operation":"text-to-image","input":{"prompt":"a red fox in snow","aspect_ratio":"16:9"}}'
      curl -s "https://api.voyager.so/v1/jobs/<job id>?wait=25" -H "Authorization: Bearer $VOYAGER_API_KEY"

    Write a small typed client (create → wait → download) with retries as above,
    then

    generate one test image to prove it works and tell me what it cost
    (job.credits.charged;

    if credits.state is still "pending", report job.credits.estimated and say
    it's an estimate).
