1. Calling the API
Endpoint
Send a POST to https://api.elyum.ai/v1/generations with a JSON body matching the parameters below. Every model uses the same endpoint; the model field picks this one.
const res = await fetch("https://api.elyum.ai/v1/generations", { method: "POST", headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.ELYUM_API_KEY}`, "Content-Type": "application/json", Prefer: "wait=55", }, body: JSON.stringify({ "model": "alibaba/wan-3.0/text-to-video", "prompt": "A slow push-in on a lighthouse at dusk, waves breaking below" }),});const generation = await res.json();console.log(generation.status, generation.outputs);Request parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
model | string | Yes | — | alibaba/wan-3.0/text-to-video, or alibaba/wan-3.0 to let your inputs pick the task. |
prompt | string | Yes | — | Sent to the model as written, never shortened. |
duration | number | No | 5 | 2 to 30, whole numbers |
resolution | string | No | "1080p" | 1080p, 720p, 480p |
aspect_ratio | string | No | — | 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4 |
audio | boolean | No | true | true or false |
max_usd | number | No | — | Refuse the render, with nothing held, if it would cost more than this many dollars. |
metadata | object | No | — | Up to 16 string pairs, echoed back on the generation. |
A value outside these lists is refused with a 400 naming the field, before anything is charged. Nothing is quietly rounded or dropped.
2. Authentication
API key
Create a key on Keys with the generate and spend scopes and send it as a bearer token. Keep it on your server; never send it to a browser.
Authorization: Bearer $ELYUM_API_KEY3. Queue
Submit and wait
With Prefer: wait=55 the request holds until the render ends or 55 seconds pass. A finished render answers 200 with its outputs; one still running answers 202 with its id. This task usually takes about 15 min.
Poll and cancel
const headers = { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.ELYUM_API_KEY}` }; // Poll until the render ends: succeeded, failed or canceledlet generation = await (await fetch(`https://api.elyum.ai/v1/generations/${id}`, { headers })).json();while (generation.status === "queued" || generation.status === "running") { await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 5000)); generation = await (await fetch(`https://api.elyum.ai/v1/generations/${id}`, { headers })).json();} // Or stop it (a hold is refunded)await fetch(`https://api.elyum.ai/v1/generations/${id}/cancel`, { method: "POST", headers });Output links are signed and last 24 hours: download them to your own storage, or fetch the generation again for fresh ones.

The most expensive provider is in red; * is a limited-time promotion, counted while it runs. A dash means the provider does not sell it. A row with a reference clip is priced per second of the clip and the output together, against the providers that bill a clip's seconds that way; the clip's seconds are always charged. Prices read from each provider's pricing page on 2026-10-27; every model and source.
