AI video API pricing. From $0.021 a second.

Every video model on Zurelay, on one API key: Seedance, Kling, Veo, Wan, Grok Imagine, MiniMax H3 and more. One endpoint, POST /v1/videos, takes a prompt, first and last frames or reference images, and returns a video with generated sound. A video is charged only once it's delivered.

Make your own
A slow dolly shot down a rain-soaked city street at night, neon reflections rippling in the puddles, a cyclist with a clear umbrella gliding through the frame, steam rising from a street grate, cinematic, photorealistic. Rain, distant traffic and a bicycle bell.

Prompt

Vertical shot: a dancer in a flowing red dress spins on a rooftop at golden hour, the fabric swirling around her, a city skyline behind, the camera slowly orbiting, photorealistic. Wind and soft piano music.

Quickstart

One request. OpenAI's format.

Send a prompt to POST /v1/videos at https://api.zurelay.com/v1, with frames or reference images if you have them. You get an ID at once; poll it, or let a webhook tell you when the video is ready.

Add credit from $10, with no subscription. The quickstart has the rest.

video.py
import os, time, requests
API = "https://api.zurelay.com/v1"
headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['ZURELAY_API_KEY']}"}
res = requests.post(f"{API}/videos", headers=headers, json={
    "model": "seedance-2.5",
    "prompt": "A red fox trotting through fresh snow at dawn, cinematic",
    "seconds": 5,
    "resolution": "720p",
    "aspect_ratio": "16:9",
})
res.raise_for_status()
job = res.json()
# Takes a few minutes: poll until it's done
while job["status"] in ("queued", "in_progress"):
    time.sleep(5)
    job = requests.get(f"{API}/videos/{job['id']}", headers=headers).json()
if job["status"] == "failed":
    raise SystemExit(job["error"]["message"])
video = requests.get(f"{API}/videos/{job['id']}/content", headers=headers)
with open("video.mp4", "wb") as f:
    f.write(video.content)
print(f"Saved video.mp4 for ${job['cost']}")

Verified

The model you asked for. Tested before it serves.

Model capacity is often bought ahead, through prepaid credits, committed-spend contracts and volume tiers, and not all of it gets used. Sellers offer it below the usual price. Zurelay tests each route, pools several per model and sends every request to one that is available and verified.

Failed attempts move to another route, and you aren't billed for them. A video is charged only once it's delivered. How models are verified.

Live health for every model is on the status page.

FAQ

AI video API questions.

Anything else? Ask our team and we’ll answer by email.

How much does the AI video API cost?

On Zurelay: from $0.021 per second, across 12 models. There's no subscription or minimum spend: you add prepaid credit from $10 and pay for what you use. A video is charged only once it's delivered.

Are these the real models?

Yes. Each model is served over several routes run by independent sellers, and every route is tested before it serves requests and re-tested while it does. A video that fails costs nothing. If a result doesn't look right, send its x-request-id to support and we check the route that served it.

How do I start calling these models through Zurelay?

Create a key, then POST /v1/videos at https://api.zurelay.com/v1 with a model ID such as seedance-2.5 and a prompt. The video guide in the docs covers frames, reference images, polling and webhooks.

Am I charged for failed videos?

No. A video is charged only once it's delivered. If a generation fails, it costs nothing.

How do I make a video with the API?

POST /v1/videos with a model ID and a prompt returns the video's ID at once. Poll GET /v1/videos/{id} until it's done, or have Zurelay call your webhook the moment it's ready, then download it from GET /v1/videos/{id}/content.
