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 both corresponding API schemas.
API Schemas
Create a video generation task and send it to the server
post
Body
modelstring · enumRequiredPossible values:
promptstringRequired
The text description of the scene, subject, or action to generate in the video.
video_urlstring · uriRequired
A HTTPS URL pointing to a video or a data URI containing a video. This video will be used as a reference during generation.
Whether to automatically attempt to fix prompts that fail content policy or other validation checks by rewriting them.
Default: false
providerstringOptional
Provider routing override. google runs native Google with no fallback; fal runs the fal.ai mirror; auto (default) uses the Google -> fal.ai fallback chain. Case-insensitive.
Example: auto
Responses
200Success
application/json
idstringRequired
The ID of the generated video.
Example: 60ac7c34-3224-4b14-8e7d-0aa0db708325
statusstring · enumRequired
The current status of the generation task.
Example: completedPossible values:
post/v2/video/generations
200Success
Retrieve the generated video from the server
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 complete, the response will include the final result — with the generated video URL and additional metadata.
