Build with image and video models

Select a media-capable model, validate inputs, understand task-style responses, and review unit pricing.

Choose by modality and endpoint

Filter the catalog by image or video capability and open the model detail page. Media models can use different endpoints, dimensions, duration limits, response formats, and billing units.

Treat generated URLs as temporary

Download authorized outputs to storage you control when the application needs durable access. Validate content type and size, and do not assume a provider URL remains available indefinitely.

Plan for asynchronous work

Some video and media operations return a task that must be checked later. Use bounded polling, persist the task identifier, surface failure states, and avoid creating duplicate tasks during retries.
