REST API

Quick Start

Make your first PixVerse V6 Max image-to-video request in three steps; the example returns a task_id for result retrieval.

Connect to the Vidgo API

Create an API key, keep it on your server, and send it in the Authorization header as a Bearer token.

Endpoint: POSThttps://api.vidgo.ai/api/generate/submit
Authentication: Authorization: Bearer VIDGO_API_KEY

Submit one generation task

Run the short example with one public image and a prompt.

Submit request

curl --request POST \
  --url "https://api.vidgo.ai/api/generate/submit" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $VIDGO_API_KEY" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
  "model": "pixverse/v6-max/image-to-video",
  "input": {
    "image_urls": [
      "https://cdn.vidgo.ai/apis/models/pixverse/v6-max/image-to-video/v1/01/input-01.png"

    "duration": 5,
    "resolution": "540p",
    "audio": false
  }
}'

Wait for the result

Use the returned task_id to check the same task until it reaches finished or failed. On success, read data.files[].file_url.

Track status

GET https://api.vidgo.ai/api/generate/status/{task_id}

Poll about every 2 seconds while the status is not_started or running. Stop on finished or failed; on success, read data.files[].file_url. For long-running jobs, increase the interval gradually, or add callback_url to the submit request to receive the final result asynchronously.

Request Parameters

model and callback_url belong at the request root; generation parameters belong inside input.

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
model	string	Yes	—	Fixed to pixverse/v6-max/image-to-video.
callback_url	string (URL)	No	—	A public HTTP(S) URL for receiving task completion notifications.
input	object	Yes	—	Generation parameters: one image in image_urls and a prompt, plus optional duration, resolution and audio. The output follows the image's framing.
input.image_urls	string[]	Yes	—	Exactly one public HTTP(S) URL of a JPEG, PNG or WebP image (.jpg, .jpeg, .png or .webp when the URL has an extension).
input.prompt	string	Yes	—	Motion, camera and sound description, 1–2,048 characters of non-blank text.
input.duration	integer	No	5	Output length in whole seconds, 1–15.
input.resolution	string	No	540p	360p, 540p, 720p or 1080p. The rate per second follows this value and audio.
input.audio	boolean	No	false	Set true to add a native audio track with dialogue, effects and music described in the prompt.

Response Fields

Submission returns the task identity immediately. Status responses add progress, output files, or a failure message as the task advances.

Field	Type	Description
code	integer	Application result code. Successful responses use 0 or 200.
message	string	Human-readable response or error message when present.
data.task_id	string	Task identifier used in the status endpoint path.
data.status	string	Current state: not_started, running, finished, or failed.
data.created_time	string	Task creation time in date-time format.
data.progress	number	Completion percentage when the provider reports progress.
data.files[]	array	Generated output files returned after a successful task.
data.files[].file_url	string	Public URL of the generated video.
data.files[].file_type	string	Generated file type, such as video.
data.files[].watermark_url	string \| null	Watermarked output URL when one is available.
data.error_message	string \| null	Failure detail when status is failed.

Task Lifecycle

Treat not_started and running as non-terminal states. finished and failed are terminal alternatives; stop polling when either is returned.

not_started
The task has been accepted and is queued to start.
running
The video is being generated. Continue polling the status endpoint.
finished
The task is complete. Read the video URL from data.files[].file_url.
failed
Generation failed. Read data.error_message for details and stop polling.

Polling and Errors

Authentication401 indicates a missing or invalid Bearer API Key. Check your key in the dashboard before retrying.
Validation400 indicates invalid parameters. Check that image_urls holds one JPEG, PNG or WebP URL, a non-blank prompt of up to 2,048 characters is present and aspect_ratio is not sent.
Polling intervalPoll the status every 2 seconds. For longer tasks, use exponential backoff to gradually increase the interval to 5 seconds.
Terminal statesPoll only while the status is not_started or running. Stop immediately on finished or failed.
Callback optionProvide callback_url to receive an automatic notification when generation finishes, without continuous polling.

PixVerse V6 Max Image to Video

PixVerse V6 Max is the Max tier of PixVerse V6, added to PixVerse's API for text-to-video and image-to-video in October 2026. The image endpoint starts from a single still, so packshots, illustrations and portraits keep their composition while gaining motion. Choose 1–15 seconds, 360p to 1080p and whether to add sound, at the same rates as the text endpoint.

Why choose the PixVerse V6 Max Image to Video API?

Framing from your imageThe output keeps the image's framing, so vertical, square and wide sources stay as composed.
Optional native audioTurn on audio for effects, ambience or a spoken line described in the prompt.
Prompt-directed motionPair the image with up to 2,048 characters that describe what moves, the camera path and any sound.
Same rates as text mode4.8 to 22.4 credits per second by resolution and audio, from 360p drafts to 1080p finals.

Usage and billing

PixVerse V6 Max Image to Video is billed per output second; the rate depends on resolution and whether audio is on.

Usage	Rate	Details
360p	4.8 / 7.2 credits / second	Silent / with audio: $0.024 / $0.036 per second, for quick drafts.
540p	7.2 / 8.8 credits / second	Silent / with audio: $0.036 / $0.044 per second. The default; 5 silent seconds cost 36 credits.
720p	8.8 / 12 credits / second	Silent / with audio: $0.044 / $0.060 per second.
1080p	17.6 / 22.4 credits / second	Silent / with audio: $0.088 / $0.112 per second. 15 seconds with audio cost 336 credits.

Best Use Cases

Product animationsTurn a packshot into a slow turn or light sweep for listings and ads.
Living illustrationsAdd wind, light and small movements to finished artwork.
Portrait clips with soundAnimate a portrait and add ambience or a short spoken line.
Draft-to-final workflowTest motion at 360p, then render the same image and prompt at 1080p.

Pro Tips

Crop the image to the delivery format first; the output keeps its framing.
Describe motion for elements already visible in the image instead of introducing new subjects.
Keep prompts focused: one action and one camera move suit the 2,048-character limit well.
For subtle, image-led motion, keep the prompt short, such as a slow push-in or a light breeze.

Notes

image_urls must hold exactly one JPEG, PNG or WebP URL.
To choose an aspect ratio or write longer prompts, use PixVerse V6 Max Text to Video.
Tasks run asynchronously: a successful submission returns a task_id for polling or callback delivery.
