鉴权失败错误提示 (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

哎呀呀～遇到鉴权错误啦！ (⊙_⊙) 快来看看是哪里出问题了吧～

HTTP Code	错误描述	原因	处理建议
401	{"message":"Unauthorized"}	缺少 authorization 参数	哎呀～检查一下有没有正确带上传入的 authorization 参数哦～
401	{"message":"HMAC signature cannot be verified"}	签名参数解析失败	嗯嗯～ (°∀°)ﾉ 检查一下各签名参数是否完整，确认 APIKey 是不是正确呀～
401	{"message":"HMAC signature does not match"}	签名校验失败	嘿呀～ (｡•́︿•̀｡) 检查一下 APIKey/APISecret 是否正确呢～还要看看 host、date、request-line 拼接对不对哦～signature 的 Base64 长度正常应该是 44 字节呢～
403	{"message":"HMAC signature cannot be verified, a valid date or x-date header is required"}	时钟偏移校验失败	嗯嗯？ (⊙_⊙) 服务器时钟可能有偏差哦～偏差超过 300 秒就会被拒绝啦！快去校准一下时间吧～

小贴士 💡：

• 如果遇到签名不匹配的错误，首先检查 APIKey 和 APISecret 是否正确～
• 确保服务器的日期时间准确，偏差太大会导致 403 错误哦～
• 签名中的 path 需要和实际请求的路径完全一致才可以呢～

Tips

1. Video URL: Must be an OSS (Aliyun Object Storage Service) URL accessible by iFlytek
2. Task status: Use get_task to check task progress
3. Completed tasks: When status is "completed", the output_video_url contains the translated video
4. Manual intervention: Some videos may require human review for transcript or translation
