Async API Reference

Request and response description.

Image to Video contract

This endpoint is asynchronous, it returns a response without waiting for an actual result. The actual result should be queried with another request. So you can request Image to Video generation and separately get the result after it's ready. See Image to Video Options and Image to Video I/O to learn about request data.
