Wan 2.2 Plus (Text-to-Video)

This documentation is valid for the following list of our models:

alibaba/wan2.2-t2v-plus

Try in Playground

A text-to-video (T2V) model that generates 480p and 1080p silent video at ~30 FPS.

If you don’t have an API key for the AI/ML API yet, feel free to use our Quickstart guide.

How to Make a Call

Step-by-Step Instructions

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 examples for both endpoint calls.

API Schemas

Now, all of our API schemas for video models use our new universal short URL — https://api.aimlapi.com/v2/video/generations. However, you can still call this model using the legacy URL that includes the vendor name.

Video Generation

This endpoint creates and sends a video generation task to the server — and returns a generation ID.

post

Body

modelstring · enumRequiredPossible values:

promptstringRequired

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

resolutionstring · enumOptional

An enumeration where the short side of the video frame determines the resolution.

Default: 1080PPossible values:

aspect_ratiostring · enumOptional

The aspect ratio of the generated video.

Default: 16:9Possible values:

negative_promptstringOptional

The description of elements to avoid in the generated video.

watermarkbooleanOptional

Whether the video contains a watermark.

Default: false

seedintegerOptional

Varying the seed integer is a way to get different results for the same other request parameters. Using the same value for an identical request will produce similar results. If unspecified, a random number is chosen.

enhance_promptbooleanOptional

Whether to enable prompt expansion.

Default: true

Fetch the video

After sending a request for video generation, this task is added to the queue. This endpoint lets you check the status of a video generation task using its id, obtained from the endpoint described above. If the video generation task status is completed, the response will include the final result — with the generated video URL and additional metadata.

Full Example: Generating and Retrieving the Video From the Server

The code below creates a video generation task, then automatically polls the server every 10 seconds until it finally receives the video URL.
