Veo API in China — no VPN, no Google Cloud billing

Veo, Google's video generation model, sits behind endpoints and a billing profile that don't work from Mainland China. Router One lists Veo 3.1 alongside Grok Video behind its China-reachable gateway: submit a prompt, poll the task, download the clip — per-video unit pricing from the same wallet and key you use for chat and image models.

Video models in the catalog

The lineup follows the live catalog — current per-video prices are on the models page under the video category.

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 Alipay, WeChat Pay, Stripe, or USDT/USDC — no foreign 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.
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.

# Submit a video generation task, then poll it
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": "veo3.1-fast",
       "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.
