  title: Vidu Generation API
  description: 'Generative video AI API from Shengshu Technology. The Vidu API is a REST, create-then-poll service: each generation operation (text-to-video, image-to-video, reference-to-video, start-and-end frame, upscale) submits an asynchronous task and returns a task_id in a "created" state, which the caller then polls via GET /ent/v2/tasks/{id}/creations (or receives on a callback_url) for the finished video URL. Endpoint paths and the token authentication scheme are grounded in the public Vidu platform docs (platform.vidu.com / docs.platform.vidu.com). Request and response schemas below are modeled from those docs and should be reconciled against the live reference before production use.'
