Video Generation API — Seedance, Kling, Veo & More

Async video pipelines

Video generation API workflows are task-based: submit, poll, fetch output. Plan worker timeouts and user-facing progress UI accordingly.

Seedance, Kling, Veo, Wan, and other catalog entries have different price units—per second vs per task. Model the bill on expected clip length and daily render volume.

See /seedance-api for a focused Seedance 2.0 narrative when that is the model users already know.

Integration checklist for video APIs

Workers that poll async video tasks need backoff and max-wait thresholds. Surface progress in the UI so users do not submit duplicate jobs.

Forecast spend using expected seconds per clip times daily job volume. Video line items in Usage should be reviewed separately from text chat.

Self-serve path: register to first API call

LumeAPI is designed for developers who want to integrate without scheduling demos. Create an account, confirm your email, and open Console to generate an API key. Fund your USD wallet with USDT on supported chains when you are ready for billable traffic—there is no mandatory minimum beyond what your tests require.

Point your OpenAI-compatible client at https://api.lumeapi.site/v1, set Authorization to Bearer your key, and pass a catalog model id in the model field. Run a short curl or SDK script from /docs to verify latency, streaming, and error handling before you attach the key to production services.

Use Usage logs to reconcile per-call cost with finance forecasts. When a model tier is too expensive or quality is insufficient, change model id—not your entire integration. For cross-provider price tables and Research deep dives, follow internal links on this page rather than duplicating migration math here.

Documentation, catalog, and support

Every catalog model has a detail page under /models with official reference pricing, LumeAPI pricing, and links to /docs/models/{id} for parameters and curl examples. Start there when this commercial page points you to a model id you have not called before.

The /docs index lists gateway authentication, Chat Completions, image endpoints, and async video patterns. llms.txt bundles the same information for agent tooling—useful when you want a single URL to paste into Cursor or an internal bot.

Research articles explain why bills grow and how to compare providers; commercial pages like this one explain what LumeAPI offers and how to start. Follow internal links instead of searching for duplicate migration content across pages.

If billing, chain deposits, or integration behavior is unclear, use /contact for support channels. Include your model id, approximate request time, and whether the issue is authentication, balance, or model parameters—that speeds up resolution.
