Image-to-Video API — Input Handling and Workflow

How Image-to-Video Works

Every image-to-video model takes a source image_url and a text prompt describing motion, camera movement, or scene continuation, then returns a video that animates from the starting frame. The source image usually determines the visual content and output aspect ratio.

Muapi exposes 150+ image-to-video models through the same REST pattern: one API key, one request-and-poll flow, and pay-per-generation pricing. Choose among Kling, Veo, Wan, Seedance, Runway, PixVerse, Vidu, MiniMax, and more.

How to Call an Image-to-Video Model

1. Host the source image. Upload through POST /api/v1/upload_file or use any publicly reachable image URL.
2. Submit the request. Call POST /api/v1/{model-slug} with image_url, a motion prompt, and the duration, resolution, or frame fields supported by that model.
3. Poll for completion. Check GET /api/v1/predictions/{request_id}/result until status is completed.
4. Download immediately. Persist the output in your own storage instead of relying on the returned URL indefinitely.
