Video generation API
AI video generation API: models, pricing, and workflow
EasyAI brings enabled video generation models into the same account and billing surface as text and image models. Video APIs often use model-specific request schemas and asynchronous tasks, so verify the complete workflow before production.
Direct answer
EasyAI provides API access to video generation models currently enabled for your account. Select a live model, confirm its request fields, duration and media limits, submit the generation task, poll the documented status endpoint when required, and calculate cost from the model's current generated-item or model-specific billing expression.
Verified facts
- Model discovery
- Use the EasyAI video catalog and GET /v1/models for current account availability
- Workflow
- Video models may require asynchronous task submission and status polling
- Inputs
- Duration, resolution, audio, reference media, and prompt fields are model-specific
- Billing unit
- Use the live generated-item or model-specific expression for the selected model

Confirm the complete video API contract
Choose the exact live model ID and record its accepted prompt, image or video references, duration, resolution, aspect ratio, audio options, output format, and safety limits. Do not infer these fields from another model.
Identify whether the request returns media immediately or creates an asynchronous task. For task workflows, document the status values, polling interval, terminal failures, expiry, and output retrieval behavior.
Calculate video generation API pricing
Use the selected model's current billing expression and account multiplier. Record duration, resolution, number of outputs, audio setting, retry rate, and failed-task policy so the estimate represents the real workflow.
Do not convert a per-video or model-specific rate into a token price. Keep the unit, model ID, source, and check date beside every estimate, then compare it with live usage.
Design a reliable asynchronous workflow
Keep keys on the server, validate uploaded media, cap task concurrency, use bounded polling with backoff, and store task IDs without exposing secrets. Make timeout, cancellation, retry, moderation, and unavailable-model states visible to users.
Test a representative prompt and media suite for latency, output quality, failure behavior, and total cost. Release gradually and preserve a fallback or clear recovery path.
Integration example
const response = await fetch(
process.env.EASYAI_BASE_URL + "/videos",
{
method: "POST",
headers: {
Authorization: "Bearer " + process.env.EASYAI_API_KEY,
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
body: JSON.stringify({
model: process.env.EASYAI_VIDEO_MODEL,
prompt: "A calm product shot with a slow camera move",
}),
},
);
if (!response.ok) throw new Error("Video request failed: " + response.status);Who this is for
Developers prototyping short-form video, creative automation, and multimodal product features.
Get an API keyFrequently asked questions
Which video models are available?
Availability changes with the connected gateway. Use the video section of the models catalog and the live GET /v1/models response for the current list.
How is AI video generation API pricing calculated?
Video models may be billed per generated item or another live model-specific expression. Confirm the model, unit, account multiplier, retry volume, and failed-task policy before estimating production cost.
Can I use the same key for text and video?
Yes, one EasyAI key can access every model enabled for your account, including video models where available.
Does every video model use the same API request?
No. Prompt fields, references, duration, resolution, audio, output, and polling behavior can differ. Follow the live contract for the selected model.
How should I poll an asynchronous video task?
Use the task status endpoint and status values documented for the selected model, with bounded polling and backoff. Stop on terminal success, failure, cancellation, or timeout.
Is there a permanently free AI video generation API?
Do not assume permanent free usage. Credits, trials, quotas, supported models, and generation limits can change; verify the current console and pricing page.
