How to Make a Call

Generating a video using this model involves sequentially calling two endpoints:

• The first one is for creating and sending a video generation task to the server (returns a generation ID).

• The second one is for requesting the generated video from the server using the generation ID received from the first endpoint.

Below, you can find two corresponding API schemas and an example that combines both endpoint calls.

Body

modelundefined · enumRequiredPossible values:

promptstring · max: 2000Required

The text description of the scene, subject, or action to generate in the video.

prompt_optimizerbooleanOptional

If True, the incoming prompt will be automatically optimized to improve generation quality when needed. For more precise control, set it to False — the model will then follow the instructions more strictly.

Default: true

first_frame_imagestring · uriOptional

The model will use the image passed in this parameter as the first frame to generate a video. Supported formats: - URL of the image; - base64 encoding of the image. Image specifications: - format must be JPG, JPEG, or PNG; - aspect ratio should be greater than 2:5 and less than 5:2; the shorter side must exceed 300 pixels; - file size must not exceed 20MB.
