input_videorequiredstring (uri)URL of the video to process. Use HD videos for high-quality outputs.

"replace""animation""replace"promptrequiredstringText directing animation. Use vivid descriptions for creative animations.
reference_imagerequiredstring (uri)URL for image reference. Use clear images for best rendering.
resolutionrequiredstringOutput video resolution. Choose 720p for detail and 480p for speed.
"480p""480p""576p""720p"base64optionalbooleanOutputs video as base64 string for easy data transfer.
falseseedoptionalintegerSet seed for repeatability. Random seeds give variety.
987778Response Type
Returns: Video
Asynchronous requests (v2)
Use Async for video, long-running (>~60s), or high-concurrency workloads; Sync is simplest for fast image & LLM calls. Async submits a request and you poll it to completion.
- 1
POST /v2/wan-animateSubmit — returns request_id, status_url, response_url
- 2
GET /v2/requests/{id}/statusPoll — until COMPLETED or FAILED
- 3
GET /v2/requests/{id}Result — final response body
Status states
- A FAILED request is served as HTTP 422 — the body still carries the error detail.
- An unknown or expired request_id returns HTTP 404.
- Results are retained for 1 hour, then expire.
- Content / RAI blocks surface as FAILED, not a separate state.
- Track completion by polling the status endpoint.
