IdleYour request will cost $0.05 per run. For $10 you can run this model approximately 200 times.
Here's what you can do next:
Code Example
import requests

# Step 1: Start video generation
generate_url = "https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/model/generateVideo"
headers = {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Authorization": "Bearer $ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY"
}

"prompt": "A beautiful sunset over the ocean with gentle waves",
"width": 512,
"height": 512,
"duration": 3,
"fps": 24,
}
generate_response = requests.post(generate_url, headers=headers, json=data)
generate_result = generate_response.json()
prediction_id = generate_result["data"]["id"]
# Step 2: Poll for result
poll_url = f"https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/model/prediction/{prediction_id}"
def check_status():
while True:
response = requests.get(poll_url, headers={"Authorization": "Bearer $ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY"})
result = response.json()
if result["data"]["status"] in ["completed", "succeeded"]:
print("Generated video:", result["data"]["outputs"][0])
return result["data"]["outputs"][0]
elif result["data"]["status"] == "failed":
raise Exception(result["data"]["error"] or "Generation failed")
else:
# Still processing, wait 2 seconds
time.sleep(2)
video_url = check_status()Install
Install the required package for your language.
pip install requestsAuthentication
All API requests require authentication via an API key. You can get your API key from the Atlas Cloud dashboard.
export ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"HTTP Headers
import os
API_KEY = os.environ.get("ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY")
headers = {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}"
}Never expose your API key in client-side code or public repositories. Use environment variables or a backend proxy instead.
Submit a request
import requests
url = "https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/model/generateVideo"
headers = {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Authorization": "Bearer $ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY"
}
data = {
"model": "your-model",
"prompt": "A beautiful landscape"
}
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)
print(response.json())Submit a Request
Submit an asynchronous generation request. The API returns a prediction ID that you can use to check the status and retrieve the result.
