title: GenMagic Videos API
version: 1.0.0
description: 'GenMagic is one studio for every generative AI model. Turn a single prompt into text, images, video, audio, music, or code, and route it to the best model automatically. New models the day they launch.
OpenAI-compatible REST API plus a remote Model Context Protocol server at /api/mcp (Streamable HTTP, protocol 2025-06-18). Authenticate with an API key minted at https://genmagic.co/get-api-key; the model catalog (GET /api/v1/models) also answers without one. Billed pay-as-you-go against a prepaid USD balance; cost and remaining balance are returned in response headers.'

summary: Start an asynchronous video job
description: 'Returns 202 immediately with { id, object: "video.generation", model, status: "queued", created (Unix seconds), status_url }; nothing is charged until the clip completes. Poll GET /api/v1/videos/{id} until status is completed or failed. Also OpenAI''s Videos API: a multipart request (what the OpenAI SDKs'' client.videos.create sends) or one with seconds, size or input_reference is answered with OpenAI''s Video object, an id starting video_, at HTTP 200, so code written for Sora 2''s Videos API runs unchanged with a GenMagic model id; a request that still names sora-2 runs on google/veo-3.1-fast and sora-2-pro on google/veo-3.1 (the answer''s model says which ran).'

- prompt
properties:
prompt:
type: string
description: Description of the video.
model:
type: string
description: Model id. Omit for the default. Must be a text-to-video model (capabilities.text_to_video in GET /api/v1/models?category=video); a model that edits, upscales or animates supplied media is refused with 400 model_not_supported.
aspect_ratio:
type: string
enum:
- '16:9'
- '9:16'
- '1:1'
description: Defaults to the opening image's shape when `image` is portrait (9:16) or landscape (16:9), otherwise 16:9.
duration:
type: integer
description: Clip length in seconds, one of the model's pricing.video.durations_seconds in GET /api/v1/models?category=video. Omit for the model's default (usually 5). The price scales with it.
resolution:
type: string
description: 'One of the model''s pricing.video.resolutions, for example 720p. Omit for the model''s default. The price scales with it: pricing.video.usd_per_second lists the rate at each resolution.'
generate_audio:
type: boolean
description: Whether to add sound, for a model whose pricing.video.audio_supported is true. Omit for the model's default; sound can roughly double the price (pricing.video.usd_per_second_with_audio). A model with pricing.video.audio_always true makes sound on every clip and has no switch.
image:
type: string
description: 'Image-to-video: an https URL or data:image URL the clip opens on; the prompt then describes the motion. For a model whose capabilities.frame_images includes first_frame (400 model_not_supported otherwise, 400 invalid_image for an unusable image). Most models bill it like text-to-video; where one does not, its pricing.video carries image_to_video_usd_per_second (a rate of its own) or image_input_usd (a fee for each image supplied).'
last_frame:
type: string
description: An https URL or data:image URL the clip ends on, for a model whose capabilities.frame_images includes last_frame.
references:
type: array
items:
type: string
description: 'Reference-to-video: up to 9 https URLs or data:image URLs of characters, objects or a look the clip keeps consistent, none of them a frame of it. Name what each shows in the prompt ("the doctor from the first reference walks through the door from the second"). Not combined with image or last_frame (400 invalid_image). Models made for it have capabilities.references true; each image may carry the model''s image_input_usd.'
seconds:
type: string
description: OpenAI Videos API form of duration ("8"). duration wins when both are sent; the model's own lengths apply as for duration.
size:
type: string
description: OpenAI Videos API form of aspect_ratio and resolution, width x height ("1280x720" is 16:9 at 720p, "720x1280" 9:16, "1792x1024" 16:9 at 1080p). aspect_ratio and resolution win when sent.
input_reference:
type: string
description: 'OpenAI Videos API form of image: an uploaded image file (multipart), an https or data:image URL, or { "image_url": "..." }. An OpenAI file_id cannot be read and is refused (400 invalid_image).'

get:
operationId: getVideo
summary: Poll a video job
description: 'Returns { id, object, model, status } with status queued or processing while the clip renders; when completed it adds the durable hosted url and cost_cents. A render failure is a terminal failed status at HTTP 200 with error, a plain-text message. Charged once, on completion. An id starting video_ (from an OpenAI-style create) is answered with OpenAI''s Video object instead: status queued, in_progress, completed or failed, progress, created_at, and error as { code, message }. This is a lookup and spends no credits.'
