Welcome to Veo3 API

This guide will walk you through making your first API calls to generate videos, upload files, and check your account status. You’ll be up and running in minutes!
Prerequisites: You’ll need an API key from veo3api.ai/api-key to get started.

​
Step 1: Authentication Setup

All API requests require Bearer token authentication. Here’s how to set it up: 
const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
const headers = {
  'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
  'Content-Type': 'application/json'
};
Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key. Never expose your API key in client-side code or public repositories.

​
Step 2: Check Your Credits

Before generating videos, let’s check your available credits: 
const response = await fetch('https://api.veo3api.ai/api/v1/common/credit', {
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`
  }
});

const data = await response.json();
console.log(`Remaining credits: ${data.data}`);

{
  "code": 200,
  "msg": "success",
  "data": 100
}

​
Step 3: Generate Your First Video

Now let’s create a video from a text prompt:

​
Text-to-Video Generation

const generateVideo = async () => {
  const response = await fetch('https://api.veo3api.ai/api/v1/veo/generate', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: headers,
    body: JSON.stringify({
      prompt: "A golden retriever playing fetch in a sunny park, slow motion, cinematic lighting",
      model: "veo3",
      aspectRatio: "16:9",
      watermark: "MyBrand"
    })
  });
  
  const result = await response.json();
  return result.data.taskId;
};

const taskId = await generateVideo();
console.log(`Video generation started. Task ID: ${taskId}`);

{
  "code": 200,
  "msg": "success",
  "data": {
    "taskId": "veo_task_abcdef123456"
  }
}

​
Image-to-Video Generation

You can also animate existing images. First, upload an image: 
// Upload image first
const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('file', imageFile);
formData.append('uploadPath', 'images/user-uploads');

const uploadResponse = await fetch('https://veo3apiai.redpandaai.co/api/file-stream-upload', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`
  },
  body: formData
});

const uploadResult = await uploadResponse.json();
const imageUrl = uploadResult.data.downloadUrl;

// Then generate video from image
const videoResponse = await fetch('https://api.veo3api.ai/api/v1/veo/generate', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    prompt: "The person in the image starts walking forward with confident steps",
    imageUrls: [imageUrl],
    model: "veo3",
    aspectRatio: "16:9"
  })
});

​
Step 4: Check Video Status

Video generation takes time. Use the task ID to check progress: 
const checkVideoStatus = async (taskId) => {
  const response = await fetch(
    `https://api.veo3api.ai/api/v1/veo/record-info?taskId=${taskId}`,
    {
      method: 'GET',
      headers: {
        'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`
      }
    }
  );
  
  const result = await response.json();
  return result.data;
};

// Check status periodically
const checkStatus = async () => {
  const status = await checkVideoStatus(taskId);
  
  if (status.successFlag === 1) {
    console.log('Video generated successfully!');
    console.log('Video URLs:', status.response.resultUrls);
  } else if (status.successFlag === 0) {
    console.log('Still generating...');
    setTimeout(checkStatus, 30000); // Check again in 30 seconds
  } else {
    console.log('Generation failed:', status.errorMessage);
  }
};

checkStatus();

{
  "code": 200,
  "msg": "success",
  "data": {
    "taskId": "veo_task_abcdef123456",
    "successFlag": 1,
    "response": {
      "resultUrls": [
        "https://example.com/generated-video.mp4"
      ]
    },
    "completeTime": "2024-03-20T10:30:00Z"
  }
}

​
Step 5: Get 1080P Version (Optional)

For 16:9 aspect ratio videos, you can get a high-definition 1080P version: 
const get1080pVideo = async (taskId) => {
  const response = await fetch(
    `https://api.veo3api.ai/api/v1/veo/get-1080p-video?taskId=${taskId}&index=0`,
    {
      method: 'GET',
      headers: {
        'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`
      }
    }
  );
  
  const result = await response.json();
  return result.data.resultUrl;
};

const hdVideoUrl = await get1080pVideo(taskId);
console.log('1080P video URL:', hdVideoUrl);

​
File Upload Methods

The platform supports three different file upload methods:
Perfect for direct file uploads from your application:
const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('file', fileInput.files[0]);
formData.append('uploadPath', 'images/user-uploads');
formData.append('fileName', 'my-image.jpg');

const response = await fetch('https://veo3apiai.redpandaai.co/api/file-stream-upload', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`
  },
  body: formData
});
If you do not specify ‘fileName’, the system will generate a random file name. If you provide the same custom name as an existing file, the file will be overwritten (but due to caching, the change may not take effect immediately).
