Overview

The model generates high-quality short videos from text or image prompts with significant advancements over its predecessor, .

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 with both endpoint calls.

API Schemas

Video Generation

You can generate a video using this API. In the basic setup, you only need a prompt.

The prompt will be automatically enhanced using AI. To disable this feature, set the parameter enhance_prompt to false.

Retrieve the generated video from the server

After sending a request for video generation, this task is added to the queue. Based on the service's load, the generation can be completed in a couple of minutes

or take a bit more.

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.

This model produces highly detailed and natural-looking videos, so generation may take around 2 minutes for a 8-second video with audio.

import requests
import time

base_url = "https://api.aimlapi.com/v2"
# Insert your AIML API Key instead of <YOUR_AIMLAPI_KEY>:
aimlapi_key = "<YOUR_AIMLAPI_KEY>"
