Generate physically realistic, motion-smooth video from text prompts with the HappyHorse model.

Availability

The model, endpoint URL, and API key must belong to the same region. Cross-region calls fail.

  • Select a model: Check which region the model belongs to.

  • Select a URL: Use the region's endpoint URL. HTTP is supported.

  • Configure an API key: Get an API key for the region, and then Export API key as environment variable.

Note

The sample code in this topic applies to the Singapore region.

Important

The legacy domain https://dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com for the Singapore region will be deprecated soon. Please migrate to the new domain https://{WorkspaceId}.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com as soon as possible.

HTTP request

Text-to-video tasks typically take 1 to 5 minutes. The API uses asynchronous calls with two steps: "Create a task → Poll for results".

Step 1: Create a task and get the task ID

Singapore

US (Virginia)

China (Beijing)

Germany (Frankfurt)

POST https://{WorkspaceId}.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/video-generation/video-synthesis

Replace WorkspaceId with your actual Workspace ID.

POST https://dashscope-us.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/video-generation/video-synthesis

POST https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/video-generation/video-synthesis

POST https://{WorkspaceId}.eu-central-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/video-generation/video-synthesis

Replace WorkspaceId with your actual Workspace ID.

Note

  • After the task is created, use the returned task_id to query the result. The task_id is valid for 24 hours. Do not create duplicate tasks. Instead, use polling to retrieve the result.

  • For guidance for beginners, see Postman.

#### Request parametersText-to-video curl curl --location 'https://{WorkspaceId}.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/video-generation/video-synthesis' \ -H 'X-DashScope-Async: enable' \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $DASHSCOPE_API_KEY" \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{ "model": "happyhorse-1.0-t2v", "input": { "prompt": "A miniature city built from cardboard and bottle caps comes to life at night. A cardboard train slowly passes through, with small lights dotting the scene and illuminating the way ahead." }, "parameters": { "resolution": "720P", "ratio": "16:9", "duration": 5 } }'
Content-Typestring (Required) The content type of the request. Must be application/json.
Authorizationstring (Required) Authenticates the request with a Model Studio API key. Example: Bearer sk-xxxx.
X-DashScope-Asyncstring (Required) Enables asynchronous processing. HTTP requests support only asynchronous calls. Must be enable. Important If this request header is missing, the error "current user api does not support synchronous calls" is returned.
##### Request body

Displays "HappyHorse" in the lower-right corner. - true (default) - false seedinteger (Optional) The random number seed must be an integer in the range [0, 2147483647]. If not specified, a random seed is generated. A fixed seed improves reproducibility. Because model generation is probabilistic, the same seed does not guarantee identical results.
#### Response parametersSuccessful response Error response Save the task_id to query the task status and result. json { "output": { "task_status": "PENDING", "task_id": "0385dc79-5ff8-4d82-bcb6-xxxxxx" }, "request_id": "4909100c-7b5a-9f92-bfe5-xxxxxx" } Task creation failed.

Step 2: Query the result by task ID

Singapore

US (Virginia)

China (Beijing)

Germany (Frankfurt)

GET https://{WorkspaceId}.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/tasks/{task_id}

Replace WorkspaceId with your actual Workspace ID.

GET https://dashscope-us.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/tasks/{task_id}

GET https://{WorkspaceId}.eu-central-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/tasks/{task_id}

Replace WorkspaceId with your actual Workspace ID.

Note

  • Polling recommendation: Video generation takes several minutes. Use a polling mechanism with a reasonable interval, such as 15 seconds.

  • Task state transition: PENDING → RUNNING → SUCCEEDED or FAILED.

  • Result link: After a task succeeds, a video URL valid for 24 hours is returned. Download and save the video to permanent storage, such as OSS.

  • task_id validity: 24 hours. After this period, queries return the task status as UNKNOWN.

#### Request parametersQuery task result Replace {task_id} with the task_id value returned by the previous API call. The task_id is valid for queries for 24 hours. curl curl -X GET https://{WorkspaceId}.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/tasks/{task_id} \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $DASHSCOPE_API_KEY"
