An innovative AI model designed for generating high-quality videos from text prompts or image. Developed by Hailou AI, this model can produce visually striking content with cinematic qualities, allowing users to create engaging videos quickly and efficiently.

## 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
{% hint style="success" %}
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.

### Create a video generation task and send it to the server
## POST /v2/video/generations
>
```json
{"openapi":"3.0.0","info":{"title":"AIML API","version":"1.0.0"},"servers":[{"url":"https://api.aimlapi.com"}],"paths":{"/v2/video/generations":{"post":{"operationId":"_v2_video_generations","requestBody":{"required":true,"content":{"application/json":{"schema":{"type":"object","properties":{"model":{"type":"string","enum":["video-01"]},"prompt":{"type":"string","maxLength":2000,"description":"The text description of the scene, subject, or action to generate in the video."},"image_url":{"type":"string","format":"uri","description":"A direct link to an online image or a Base64-encoded local image that will serve as the first frame for the video.\nImage specifications: \n- format must be JPG, JPEG, or PNG; \n- aspect ratio should be greater than 2:5 and less than 5:2; \n- the shorter side must exceed 300 pixels; \n- file size must not exceed 20MB."},"enhance_prompt":{"type":"boolean","default":true,"description":"If True, the incoming prompt will be automatically optimized to improve generation quality when needed.

```
### 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 `completed`, the response will include the final result — with the generated video URL and additional metadata.
