Veo Video Generation

Generate AI videos through AceDataCloud's Google Veo API.

Setup: See authentication for token setup.

Quick Start

curl -X POST https://api.acedata.cloud/veo/videos \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"action": "text2video", "prompt": "a whale breaching in slow motion at golden hour", "model": "veo3", "callback_url": "https://api.acedata.cloud/health"}'

Async: See async task polling. Poll via POST /veo/tasks with {"id": "..."}. This returns a task ID immediately. Poll for the result:

curl -X POST https://api.acedata.cloud/veo/tasks \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACEDATACLOUD_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"id": "<task_id from above>"}'

Workflows

1. Text-to-Video

2. Image-to-Video

Animate still images into video.

POST /veo/videos
{
  "action": "image2video",
  "prompt": "the scene gently comes to life with wind and subtle motion",
  "image_urls": ["https://example.com/landscape.jpg"],
  "model": "veo2",
  "aspect_ratio": "16:9"
}

3. Ingredients-to-Video (Multi-Image Blend)

Blend 1–3 reference images into a video (only veo31-fast-ingredients).

POST /veo/videos
{
  "action": "ingredients2video",
  "image_urls": [
    "https://example.com/img1.jpg",
    "https://example.com/img2.jpg"
  ],
  "model": "veo31-fast-ingredients"
}

4. Upscale to 1080p

Convert a previously generated video to full 1080p resolution.

POST /veo/videos
{
  "action": "get1080p",
  "video_id": "your-video-id",
  "model": "veo3"
}

Post-Generation Endpoints

After generating a video, use these endpoints to further process it:

Upsample (POST /veo/upsample)

Upscale a generated video to 1080p, 4K, or convert to GIF.

action	"1080p", "4k", "gif"	Upsample target

Extend (POST /veo/extend)

Continue an existing video — AI auto-generates the next segment.

POST /veo/extend
{
  "video_id": "your-video-id",
  "model": "veo31-fast",
  "prompt": "the camera slowly zooms out"
}

Parameter	Values	Description
video_id	string	Task ID from /veo/videos or a prior /veo/extend

prompt	string	Optional: guides the extended segment

Reshoot (POST /veo/reshoot)

Re-render a video keeping the same content but applying new camera motion.

POST /veo/reshoot
{
  "video_id": "your-video-id",
  "motion_type": "LEFT_TO_RIGHT"
}

Parameter	Values	Description
video_id	string	Task ID from /veo/videos (cannot use /veo/extend output)
motion_type	see table below	Camera motion to apply

motion_type values: STATIONARY, STATIONARY_UP, STATIONARY_DOWN, STATIONARY_LEFT, STATIONARY_RIGHT, STATIONARY_DOLLY_IN_ZOOM_OUT, STATIONARY_DOLLY_OUT_ZOOM_IN, UP, DOWN, LEFT_TO_RIGHT, RIGHT_TO_LEFT, FORWARD, BACKWARD, DOLLY_IN_ZOOM_OUT, DOLLY_OUT_ZOOM_IN

Objects (POST /veo/objects)

Insert or remove objects in a video using mask-based inpainting.

  "prompt": "add a flying bird"
}

POST /veo/objects
{
  "video_id": "your-video-id",
  "action": "remove",
  "image_mask": "https://example.com/mask.jpg"
}

Parameter	Values	Description
video_id	string	Task ID (cannot use /veo/extend output)

prompt	string	Required for insert; optional for remove
image_mask	string	URL or base64 JPEG — white pixels = target region. Required for remove; optional for insert

Gotchas

• Veo 3 and 3.1 models generate native audio — veo2/veo2-fast do NOT support audio
• The get1080p action uses video_id (from a prior generation), not a URL
• aspect_ratio is only valid for the image2video action
• image_urls accepts an array — up to 2 images for image2video, up to 3 for ingredients2video
• veo31-fast-ingredients requires image input — it cannot do text-only generation
• translation: true auto-translates Chinese or other non-English prompts before sending to Veo
• Task polling uses id (not task_id) in the /veo/tasks request body
• Task states use "succeeded" (not "completed") — check for this value when polling
• /veo/extend output cannot be used as input for /veo/reshoot or /veo/objects
