# Generate Veo3.1 Video ## OpenAPI Specification ```yaml openapi: 3.0.1 info: title: '' description: '' version: 1.0.0 paths: /api/v1/jobs/createTask: post: summary: Generate Veo3.1 Video deprecated: false description: >- :::warning This is the new version of the API documentation; for the old version of the API, please see [https://docs.kie.ai/old-model/veo3-api/generate-veo-3-video](https://docs.kie.ai/old-model/veo3-api/generate-veo-3-video). ::: ### Veo 3.1 Generation API Our **Veo 3.1 Generation API** is more than a direct wrapper around Google's baseline. It layers extensive optimisation and reliability tooling on top of the official models, giving you greater flexibility and markedly higher success rates — **25% of the official Google pricing** (see [kie.ai/pricing](https://kie.ai/pricing) for full details). | Capability | Details | | :------------------- | :------ | | **Models** | • **Veo 3.1 Quality** — flagship model, highest fidelity• **Veo 3.1 Fast** — cost-efficient variant that still delivers strong visual results• **Veo 3.1 Lite** — most cost-effective model for high-volume generation | | **Tasks** | • **Text → Video**• **Image → Video** (single reference frame or first and last frames)• **Material → Video** (based on material images) | | **Generation Modes** | • **TEXT\_2\_VIDEO** — Text-to-video: using text prompts only• **FIRST\_AND\_LAST\_FRAMES\_2\_VIDEO** — First and last frames to video: generate transition videos using one or two images• **REFERENCE\_2\_VIDEO** — Material-to-video: based on material images (**Fast model** and **Lite model**, supports **16:9 & 9:16**) | | **Aspect Ratios** | Supports both native **16:9** and **9:16** outputs. **Auto** mode lets the system decide aspect ratio based on input materials and internal strategy (for production control, we recommend explicitly setting `aspect_ratio`). | | **Output Quality** | Both **16:9** and **9:16** support **1080P** and **4K** outputs. **4K requires extra credits** (approximately **2× the credits of generating a Fast mode video**)| | **Audio Track** | All videos ship with background audio by default. In rare cases, upstream may suppress audio when the scene is deemed sensitive (e.g. minors). | ### Why our Veo 3.1 API is different 1. **True vertical video** – Native Veo 3.1 supports **9:16** output, delivering authentic vertical videos without the need for re-framing or manual editing. 2. **Global language reach** – Our flow supports multilingual prompts by default (no extra configuration required). 3. **Significant cost savings** – Our rates are 25% of Google's direct API pricing. operationId: generate-veo3-1-video tags: - docs/en/Market/Video Models/Veo3.1 API parameters: [] requestBody: content: application/json: schema: type: object properties: model: type: string description: Select the model type to use. default: veo-3-1 examples: - veo-3-1 callBackUrl: type: string description: >- Completion callback URL for receiving video generation status updates. - Optional but recommended for production use - System will POST task completion status to this URL when the video generation is completed - Callback will include task results, video URLs, and status information - Your callback endpoint should accept POST requests with JSON payload - For detailed callback format and implementation guide, see [Callback Documentation](https://docs.kie.ai/veo3-api/generate-veo-3-video-callbacks) - Alternatively, use the Get Video Details endpoint to poll task status - To ensure callback security, see [Webhook Verification Guide](/common-api/webhook-verification) for signature verification implementation examples: - http://your-callback-url.com/complete input: type: object properties: prompt: type: string description: >- Text prompt describing the desired video content. Required for all generation modes. - Should be detailed and specific in describing video content - Can include actions, scenes, style and other information - For image-to-video, describe how you want the image to come alive examples: - A dog playing in a park image_urls: type: array items: type: string description: >- Image URL list (used in image-to-video mode). Supports 1 or 2 images: - **1 image**: The generated video will unfold around this image, with the image content presented dynamically - **2 images**: The first image serves as the video's first frame, and the second image serves as the video's last frame, with the video transitioning between them - Must be valid image URLs - Images must be accessible to the API server. examples: - - http://example.com/image1.jpg - http://example.com/image2.jpg generation_type: type: string description: >- Video generation mode (optional). Specifies different video generation approaches: - **TEXT_2_VIDEO**: Text-to-video - Generate videos using only text prompts - **FIRST_AND_LAST_FRAMES_2_VIDEO**: First and last frames to video - Flexible image-to-video generation mode - 1 image: Generate video based on the provided image - 2 images: First image as first frame, second image as last frame, generating transition video - **REFERENCE_2_VIDEO**: Reference-to-video - Generate videos based on reference images, requires 1-3 images in imageUrls (minimum 1, maximum 3) **Important Notes**: - REFERENCE_2_VIDEO mode currently supports the veo3_fast and veo3_lite models. - If not specified, the system will automatically determine the generation mode based on whether imageUrls are provided enum: - TEXT_2_VIDEO - FIRST_AND_LAST_FRAMES_2_VIDEO - REFERENCE_2_VIDEO examples: - TEXT_2_VIDEO aspect_ratio: type: string description: >- Video aspect ratio. Specifies the dimension ratio of the generated video. Available options: - 16:9: Landscape video format. - 9:16: Portrait video format, suitable for mobile short videos - Auto: In auto mode, the video will be automatically center-cropped based on whether your uploaded image is closer to 16:9 or 9:16. Default value is 16:9. enum: - '16:9' - '9:16' - Auto default: '16:9' examples: - '16:9' enable_fallback: type: boolean description: >- Deprecated Enable fallback functionality. When set to true, if the official Veo3.1 video generation service is unavailable or encounters exceptions, the system will automatically switch to a backup model for video generation to ensure task continuity and reliability. Default value is false. - When fallback is enabled, backup model will be used for the following errors: - public error minor upload - Your prompt was flagged by Website as violating content policies - public error prominent people upload - Fallback mode requires 16:9 aspect ratio and uses 1080p resolution by default - **Note**: Videos generated through fallback mode cannot be accessed via the Get 1080P Video endpoint - **Credit Consumption**: Successful fallback has different credit consumption, please see https://kie.ai/pricing for pricing details **Note: This parameter is deprecated. Please remove this parameter from your requests. The system has automatically optimized the content review mechanism without requiring manual fallback configuration.** default: false deprecated: true examples: - false enable_translation: type: boolean description: >- Enable prompt translation to English. When set to true, the system will automatically translate prompts to English before video generation for better generation results. Default value is true. - true: Enable translation, prompts will be automatically translated to English - false: Disable translation, use original prompts directly for generation default: false examples: - true watermark: type: string description: >- Watermark text. - Optional parameter - If provided, a watermark will be added to the generated video examples: - MyBrand resolution: type: string enum: - 720p - 1080p - 4k x-apidog-enum: - value: 720p name: '' description: '' - value: 1080p name: '' description: '' - value: 4k name: '' description: '' default: 720p description: >- Controls the pixel dimensions of the generated image.
