## Start Rendering


Before starting a render, please have a look at the render settings, so you can see all available options you can send in the request: [API Reference](https://helio.exchange/products/api/reference)


Don’t forget to replace `TEAM_ID`, `workspace_id` and `projectName`.


```bash
curl -i -X POST "https://render-api.helio.exchange/v1/renders" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN' \
  -H 'Team-Id: {team_id}' \
  -d '{"projectName": "project_name", "file": "file_name", "workspaceId": "workspace_id"}'
```


As a recommendation, for every project you'd like to render, send a preview with a higher noise limit and less frames to ensure the rendering works correctly.


Please ensure all textures are in the uploaded project folder.


## Check Rendering Status


There are two ways to check a specific render:

- One requires you to provide its id (you’ll receive it when starting a render):

```bash
curl -i -X GET "https://render-api.helio.exchange/v1/renders/RENDER_NAME" \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN'
```

- Or you can just list your the renders:

```bash
curl -i -X GET "https://render-api.helio.exchange/v1/renders" \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN'
```


## Download Results


Once your render has successfully finished, you can download the results from your storage.


Request the information of your render’s storage output


```bash
curl -i -X GET "https://render-api.helio.exchange/v1/renders/RENDER_NAME" \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN'
```


User the value in `outputStorageId` to get the credentials to your output storage.


```bash
$ curl -i -X POST "https://render-api.helio.exchange/v1/storage/{storageId}/credential" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN' \
	-d '{"accessMode": "ReadOnly", "type": "rclone"}'
```


Now you can copy the content to your local folder by:


```bash
RCLONE_CONFIG_ENDPOINT=REMOTE:00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 \
RCLONE_CONFIG_REMOTE_SAS_URL="https:..." \
RCLONE_CONFIG_REMOTE_TYPE=azureblob \
rclone copy $RCLONE_CONFIG_ENDPOINT C:/my_project_output_folder
```
