Veo2 (Text-to-Video)
Overview
Google’s cutting-edge AI model designed to generate highly realistic and cinematic video content from textual prompts or a combination of text and images. Leveraging advanced machine learning techniques, Veo2 excels in creating videos with natural motion, realistic physics, and professional-grade visual fidelity.

How to Make a Call
API Schemas
Create a video generation task and send it to the server
You can generate a video using this API. In the basic setup, you only need a prompt, the aspect ratio, and the desired duration (5, 6, 7, or 8 seconds).
The text prompt describing the video you want to generate
The aspect ratio of the generated video
The duration of the generated video in seconds. Possible values: 5, 6, 7, 8
POST /v2/generate/video/google/generation HTTP/1.1
Host: api.aimlapi.com
Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_AIMLAPI_KEY>
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: */*
Content-Length: 67
{
"model": "veo2",
"prompt": "text",
"aspect_ratio": "16:9",
"duration": 5
}

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 complete
, the response will include the final result — with the generated video URL and additional metadata.
GET /v2/generate/video/google/generation HTTP/1.1
Host: api.aimlapi.com
Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_AIMLAPI_KEY>
Accept: */*

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.
Generation may take around 40-50 seconds for a 5-second video.
import requests
import time
# Insert your AIML API Key instead of <YOUR_AIMLAPI_KEY>:
aimlapi_key = "<YOUR_AIMLAPI_KEY>"
base_url = "https://api.aimlapi.com/v2"
# Creating and sending a video generation task to the server
def generate_video():
url = f"{base_url}/generate/video/google/generation"
headers = {
"Authorization": f"Bearer {aimlapi_key}",
}
data = {
"model": "veo2",
"prompt": '''
A menacing evil dragon appears in a distance above the tallest mountain, then rushes toward the camera with its jaws open, revealing massive fangs. We see it's coming.
'''
}
response = requests.post(url, json=data, headers=headers)
if response.status_code >= 400:
print(f"Error: {response.status_code} - {response.text}")

response_data = response.json()
# print(response_data)

# Requesting the result of the task from the server using the generation_id

response_data = get_video(gen_id)
if response_data is None:

break

print("Status:", status)
if status == "waiting" or status == "active" or status == "queued" or status == "generating":
print("Still waiting... Checking again in 10 seconds.")
time.sleep(10)
else:
print("Processing complete:/n", response_data)
return response_data
print("Timeout reached. Stopping.")
return None
