            roomId?: string;
            expiresIn?: number; // in seconds and only for createGameRoom

## Example Usage

```javascript
// Setup request parameters
const timestamp = Date.now().toString();
const taskId = 'task_abc123xyz789';

// Generate HMAC signature (empty body for GET request)
const hmac = generateHmacSignature(timestamp, {}, secretKey);

// Make the API request
const response = await axios.get(apiEndpoint + '/task/status/' + taskId, {
    headers: {
        apikey: apiKey,
        signature: hmac,
        timestamp: timestamp
    }
});
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Tasks are asynchronous operations that may take some time to complete. Use this endpoint to check their status.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Task status should be polled at reasonable intervals (e.g., every 1-2 seconds) to avoid rate limiting.
{% endhint %}
