| 1 | +# AIGateway Video API |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## Overview |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +AIGateway exposes one normalized OpenAI-compatible async video API surface for both text-to-video and image-to-video generation. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +Public endpoints: |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +```text |
| 10 | +POST /v1/videos |
| 11 | +GET /v1/videos/{video_id} |
| 12 | +GET /v1/videos/{video_id}/content |
| 13 | +``` |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +The public API does not expose provider-specific paths, IDs, request fields, or download URLs. AIGateway normalizes those differences internally. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +For an end-to-end usage walkthrough, see [user-guide.md](./user-guide.md). |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +## Auth |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +Video APIs require the normal AIGateway API key auth used by other OpenAI-compatible inference APIs: |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +```http |
| 24 | +Authorization: Bearer <api_key_or_access_token> |
| 25 | +``` |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +## Resource Model |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +The client-facing `video_id` is owned by AIGateway, not by the downstream provider. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +Example: |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +```text |
| 34 | +video_8b1d8d4f7c5b4d58b4d7f3a7f8c9d001 |
| 35 | +``` |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +This lets AIGateway: |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +- authorize follow-up reads by owner |
| 40 | +- avoid cross-provider ID collisions |
| 41 | +- route retrieve and content requests back to the backend used at create time |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +## Create Video |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +```http |
| 46 | +POST /v1/videos |
| 47 | +``` |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +Supports: |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +- text-to-video |
| 52 | +- image-to-video by `input_reference` |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +### JSON Request |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +Required fields: |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +- `model` |
| 59 | +- `prompt` |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +Optional fields: |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +- `size` |
| 64 | +- `seconds` |
| 65 | +- `input_reference` |
| 66 | +- additional OpenAI-compatible fields supported by the downstream OpenAI-compatible backend |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +`size` follows the public OpenAI-compatible contract and should use `{width}x{height}` values such as `1280x720` or `1920x1080`. |
| 69 | +Provider-native adapters may normalize that value internally. For example, MiniMax uses a native `resolution` field and AIGateway maps supported values like `1280x720 -> 720P` and `1920x1080 -> 1080P`. |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +JSON request shape: |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +```json |
| 74 | +{ |
| 75 | + "model": "video-model", |
| 76 | + "prompt": "A paper airplane flying through a neon city", |
| 77 | + "size": "1280x720", |
| 78 | + "seconds": 5, |
| 79 | + "input_reference": { |
| 80 | + "image_url": "https://example.com/frame.png" |
| 81 | + } |
| 82 | +} |
| 83 | +``` |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +`input_reference` supports: |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +```json |
| 88 | +{ |
| 89 | + "file_id": "file_xxx" |
| 90 | +} |
| 91 | +``` |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +or |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +```json |
| 96 | +{ |
| 97 | + "image_url": "https://example.com/frame.png" |
| 98 | +} |
| 99 | +``` |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +Provider-native adapters may support only part of the public `input_reference` surface. For example, the internal LightX2V adapter supports multipart uploaded images and JSON `image_url`, but rejects JSON `file_id`. |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +Invalid: |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +- missing `model` |
| 106 | +- missing `prompt` |
| 107 | +- empty `input_reference` |
| 108 | +- `input_reference` with neither `file_id` nor `image_url` |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +### Multipart Request |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +`POST /v1/videos` also accepts multipart form data. |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +Relevant fields: |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +- `model` |
| 117 | +- `prompt` |
| 118 | +- `size` |
| 119 | +- `seconds` |
| 120 | +- `input_reference` file |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +Multipart `size` uses the same OpenAI-compatible `{width}x{height}` contract as JSON requests. |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +Multipart text-only requests remain valid. Provider-native adapters may normalize them into backend-specific JSON create requests when no uploaded `input_reference` file is present. |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +Allowed uploaded `input_reference` content types: |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +- `image/jpeg` |
| 129 | +- `image/png` |
| 130 | +- `image/webp` |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +Multipart example: |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +```bash |
| 135 | +curl -X POST "$AIGATEWAY_BASE_URL/v1/videos" \ |
| 136 | + -H "Authorization: Bearer $AIGATEWAY_API_KEY" \ |
| 137 | + -F "model=image-video-model" \ |
| 138 | + -F "prompt=Animate this still frame into a cinematic shot" \ |
| 139 | + -F "seconds=5" \ |
| 140 | + -F "size=1280x720" \ |
| 141 | + -F "input_reference=@frame.png;type=image/png" |
| 142 | +``` |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +### Successful Response |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +```json |
| 147 | +{ |
| 148 | + "id": "video_8b1d8d4f7c5b4d58b4d7f3a7f8c9d001", |
| 149 | + "object": "video", |
| 150 | + "status": "queued" |
| 151 | +} |
| 152 | +``` |
| 153 | + |
| 154 | +Status values returned by AIGateway are normalized to OpenAI-compatible values such as: |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | +- `queued` |
| 157 | +- `in_progress` |
| 158 | +- `completed` |
| 159 | +- `failed` |
| 160 | +- `cancelled` |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +### Error Response |
| 163 | + |
| 164 | +Create errors use the normal OpenAI-compatible error envelope: |
| 165 | + |
| 166 | +```json |
| 167 | +{ |
| 168 | + "error": { |
| 169 | + "code": "invalid_request_error", |
| 170 | + "message": "Model and prompt cannot be empty", |
| 171 | + "type": "invalid_request_error" |
| 172 | + } |
| 173 | +} |
| 174 | +``` |
| 175 | + |
| 176 | +Common create error codes: |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | +- `invalid_request_error` |
| 179 | +- `unsupported_model` |
| 180 | +- `content_policy_violation` |
| 181 | +- `moderation_error` |
| 182 | +- `internal_error` |
| 183 | + |
| 184 | +Example provider-specific validation error: |
| 185 | + |
| 186 | +```json |
| 187 | +{ |
| 188 | + "error": { |
| 189 | + "code": "invalid_request_error", |
| 190 | + "message": "selected model does not support input_reference.file_id", |
| 191 | + "type": "invalid_request_error" |
| 192 | + } |
| 193 | +} |
| 194 | +``` |
| 195 | + |
| 196 | +## Get Video |
| 197 | + |
| 198 | +```http |
| 199 | +GET /v1/videos/{video_id} |
| 200 | +``` |
| 201 | + |
| 202 | +Returns the normalized video object for a gateway-owned `video_id`. |
| 203 | + |
| 204 | +Example: |
| 205 | + |
| 206 | +```json |
| 207 | +{ |
| 208 | + "id": "video_8b1d8d4f7c5b4d58b4d7f3a7f8c9d001", |
| 209 | + "object": "video", |
| 210 | + "status": "completed", |
| 211 | + "created_at": 1713945600 |
| 212 | +} |
| 213 | +``` |
| 214 | + |
| 215 | +If the video failed, the object may include an embedded resource-level error: |
| 216 | + |
| 217 | +```json |
| 218 | +{ |
| 219 | + "id": "video_8b1d8d4f7c5b4d58b4d7f3a7f8c9d001", |
| 220 | + "object": "video", |
| 221 | + "status": "failed", |
| 222 | + "error": { |
| 223 | + "code": "generation_failed", |
| 224 | + "message": "provider generation failed" |
| 225 | + } |
| 226 | +} |
| 227 | +``` |
| 228 | + |
| 229 | +HTTP-level lookup errors still use the normal top-level `error` envelope. |
| 230 | + |
| 231 | +## Download Video Content |
| 232 | + |
| 233 | +```http |
| 234 | +GET /v1/videos/{video_id}/content |
| 235 | +``` |
| 236 | + |
| 237 | +This endpoint streams the generated video bytes back through AIGateway. |
| 238 | + |
| 239 | +Typical content types: |
| 240 | + |
| 241 | +- `video/mp4` |
| 242 | +- `application/octet-stream` |
| 243 | + |
| 244 | +Example: |
| 245 | + |
| 246 | +```bash |
| 247 | +curl -L "$AIGATEWAY_BASE_URL/v1/videos/$VIDEO_ID/content" \ |
| 248 | + -H "Authorization: Bearer $AIGATEWAY_API_KEY" \ |
| 249 | + -o output.mp4 |
| 250 | +``` |
| 251 | + |
| 252 | +### Variant Passthrough |
| 253 | + |
| 254 | +AIGateway preserves the `variant` query parameter for compatible backends. |
| 255 | + |
| 256 | +Examples: |
| 257 | + |
| 258 | +```text |
| 259 | +GET /v1/videos/{video_id}/content?variant=video |
| 260 | +GET /v1/videos/{video_id}/content?variant=thumbnail |
| 261 | +GET /v1/videos/{video_id}/content?variant=spritesheet |
| 262 | +``` |
| 263 | + |
| 264 | +Whether a backend supports a specific variant depends on the downstream provider. Unsupported variants are surfaced as downstream/provider errors. |
| 265 | + |
| 266 | +## Ownership and Authorization |
| 267 | + |
| 268 | +Video resources are private to the authenticated owner that created them. |
| 269 | + |
| 270 | +For follow-up operations: |
| 271 | + |
| 272 | +- `GET /v1/videos/{video_id}` |
| 273 | +- `GET /v1/videos/{video_id}/content` |
| 274 | + |
| 275 | +AIGateway verifies that the current user owns the `video_id`. Cross-user access returns `not_found`. |
| 276 | + |
| 277 | +## Provider Normalization Notes |
| 278 | + |
| 279 | +The external API is stable even when provider APIs differ internally. |
| 280 | + |
| 281 | +Examples of internal normalization: |
| 282 | + |
| 283 | +- OpenAI-compatible backends accept the public `size` field directly in `{width}x{height}` format. |
| 284 | +- MiniMax does not use the same public shape. AIGateway maps supported OpenAI-compatible sizes to MiniMax `resolution` values: |
| 285 | + - `1280x720` and `720x1280` -> `720P` |
| 286 | + - `1920x1080` and `1080x1920` -> `1080P` |
| 287 | + - native MiniMax values `720P`, `768P`, and `1080P` are also accepted for compatibility |
| 288 | + - unsupported sizes such as `1024x1792` are rejected as `invalid_request_error` |
| 289 | +- Internal LightX2V uses provider-native create and status routes. AIGateway maps public OpenAI-compatible `size` into LightX2V `width` and `height`, streams `/content` directly from `/v1/files/download/outputs/videos/{task_id}.mp4`, and supports image-guided requests only through multipart upload or JSON `image_url`. |
| 290 | +- Internal LightX2V is selected only for internal CSGHub deployed video models, identified by `CSGHubModelID != ""` plus `RuntimeFramework == "lightx2v"`. |
| 291 | +- Internal LightX2V treats multipart-with-image as image-guided create to `/v1/tasks/video/form`, but multipart text-only requests fall back to the normal JSON create path `/v1/tasks/video`. |
| 292 | +- Current internal LightX2V-backed OpenCSG Wan model targets are `Wan-AI/Wan2.2-T2V-A14B` for text-to-video and `Wan-AI/Wan2.2-I2V-A14B` for image-to-video. |
| 293 | + |
| 294 | +- AIGateway rewrites provider video IDs to gateway-owned `video_id` |
| 295 | +- provider-specific polling APIs are hidden behind `GET /v1/videos/{video_id}` |
| 296 | +- provider-specific file download or download URL flows are hidden behind `GET /v1/videos/{video_id}/content` |
| 297 | +- provider-native status values are normalized to OpenAI-compatible values |
| 298 | + |
| 299 | +## Current Public DTO Shape |
| 300 | + |
| 301 | +Create request: |
| 302 | + |
