How to Make a Call
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
.
The text description of the scene, subject, or action to generate in the video.
The aspect ratio of the generated video.
The length of the output video in seconds.
The description of elements to avoid in the generated video.
Whether to enhance the video generation.
true
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.
Whether to generate audio for the video.
true

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.
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.
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>"
# 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": "google/veo3",
"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}")
else:
response_data = response.json()
# print(response_data)
return response_data
# Requesting the result of the task from the server using the generation_id

"Content-Type": "application/json"
}

# print("Generation:", response.json())

def main():
# Running video generation and getting a task id
gen_response = generate_video()

# Trying to retrieve the video from the server every 10 sec

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)
