Text to Video - WhollyAPI

Generate video clips from text prompts.

WhollyAPI hosts text-to-video models that generate short video clips from a text description. Browse all text-to-video models.

Endpoint

POST https://whollyapi.com/v1/inference/{model_name}

Example

import requests

WHOLLYAPI_TOKEN = "$WHOLLYAPI_TOKEN"
MODEL = "Wan-AI/Wan2.1-T2V-14B"

response = requests.post(
    f"https://whollyapi.com/v1/inference/{MODEL}",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {WHOLLYAPI_TOKEN}",
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    json={
        "prompt": "A serene mountain lake at sunrise, with mist rising from the water and pine trees reflected on the surface.",
    },
)

result = response.json()
# result["video"] contains the URL to the generated video
print(result["video"])

curl -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WHOLLYAPI_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt": "A serene mountain lake at sunrise, with mist rising from the water and pine trees reflected on the surface."}' \
  'https://whollyapi.com/v1/inference/Wan-AI/Wan2.1-T2V-14B'

Tips for good prompts

Be descriptive about the scene, lighting, and motion
Specify the camera movement if relevant (e.g. “slow pan”, “aerial shot”, “close-up”)
Keep prompts focused — overly complex prompts can produce inconsistent results
Use the negative prompt parameter (if supported) to exclude unwanted elements

Async inference

Video generation is compute-intensive and may take longer than text inference. Consider using webhooks to receive the result asynchronously rather than polling.
