Example
curl
curl -X POST https://api.sweetrouter.com/v1/videos \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SWEETROUTER_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"first_frame_url": "https://example.com/frame.png",
"prompt": "she turns toward the camera and smiles",
"duration": 5,
"resolution": "720p",
"aspect_ratio": "9:16",
"audio": true
}'The call returns the job right away with status queued. Poll GET /v1/jobs/:id or use a webhook, then download each outputs[].url.
Frame rate and queueing
Videos render at 24 frames per second. One image or video generates at a time, and queued images run before queued videos.
Billing
Videos are charged per second of requested length when the job is created, and refunded if they fail. See Pricing.
Safe retries
Send an Idempotency-Key header. Retrying with the same key returns the original job instead of creating and charging a new one.
