Veo API in China — current availability and workflow

As of 2026-09-05, Router One’s catalog contains no video models, including Veo and Grok Video. The historical specifications and asynchronous workflow below explain the interface; they are not a current availability promise. Check /models before planning an integration. Currently listed image and chat models remain available through the same account.

Previously listed video models — historical specifications

These are historical fixed clip specifications. None of the video IDs below is currently listed, so they are not copy-and-run examples. Check /models for availability and current pricing before using this workflow.

Submit, then poll

Video generation is asynchronous: the POST returns a task, and a GET on the task ID reports its status until the clip is ready. Don't wrap the call in a tight client timeout — poll instead. Full request and response fields are in the docs.

1. 1Create a Router One API keySign up at router.one and create an API key in the dashboard. Top up with a card or Alipay through one hosted checkout, or with USDT/USDC on six chains (Tron, BSC, Ethereum, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum). No US credit card required.
2. 2Submit a generation taskPOST to https://api.router.one/v1/videos/generations with a video model ID from the catalog and your prompt. The response returns a task ID. The image-to-video model takes an image_url as well; the text-to-video models reject one.
3. 3Poll until the clip is readyGET the task by ID until it completes, then download the result. The request appears in Dashboard → Logs with its model, unit cost, and status.

# Historical example — the model below is not currently listed
curl -X POST https://api.router.one/v1/videos/generations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-your-router-one-key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "viduq3-turbo",
       "prompt": "Waves lapping at the shore, dusk light on the water"}'

curl https://api.router.one/v1/videos/generations/{task_id} \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-your-router-one-key"

No low fixed cap for normal paid usage. Abuse prevention, per-account protection limits, and upstream constraints may still apply; if a request returns 429, check Dashboard -> Logs or contact support to raise limits.
