def on_queue_update(update):
    if isinstance(update, fal_client.InProgress):
        for log in update.logs:
           print(log["message"])

result = fal_client.subscribe(
    "argil/avatars/text-to-video",
    arguments={
        "avatar": "Noemie car (UGC)",
        "text": "
    Argil is kinda crazy guys! You just turn a real person into

    ",
        "voice": "Rachel"
    },
    with_logs=True,
    on_queue_update=on_queue_update,
)
print(result)
```

### JavaScript

Ensure you have the JavaScript client installed:

```bash
npm install --save @fal-ai/client
```

Then use the API client to make requests:

```javascript
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

const result = await fal.subscribe("argil/avatars/text-to-video", {
  input: {
    avatar: "Noemie car (UGC)",
    text: "
  Argil is kinda crazy guys! You just turn a real person into
  an avatar that actually talks and moves and it's already reel-ready,

  logs: true,
  onQueueUpdate: (update) => {
    if (update.status === "IN_PROGRESS") {
