Colossyan Video Generation API

openapi: 3.0.1
info:
  title: Colossyan API
  description: >-
    REST API for the Colossyan AI avatar and video generation platform. Generate
    studio-quality videos from a script combined with AI avatars and voices via
    asynchronous video-generation jobs, list avatars/presenters and voices,
    create custom Instant avatars, generate from templates, and receive
    completion notifications via webhook callbacks. All requests and responses
    use JSON. API access requires a Business or Enterprise plan; the API token
    is found in the workspace Settings. Endpoint paths, request fields, and
    response fields below reflect Colossyan's public documentation
    (docs.colossyan.com); exact JSON schemas are not fully published, so request
    and response bodies are described as free-form objects where the schema is
    not documented.
