Wan - text-to-video API reference (2.1-2.6)

The Wan text-to-video model generates smooth videos from text prompts .

References: User guide

Availability

To ensure successful calls, the model, Endpoint URL, and API Key must all belong to the same region. Cross-region calls will fail.
The sample code in this topic applies to the Beijing region.
Alibaba Cloud Model Studio has released workspace-specific domains for the China (Beijing) and Singapore regions. The new dedicated domains deliver superior performance and higher stability for inference requests. We recommend migrating to the new domains:
  • China (Beijing): from https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com to https://{WorkspaceId}.cn-beijing.maas.aliyuncs.com
  • Singapore: from https://dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com to https://{WorkspaceId}.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com
{WorkspaceId} is your workspace ID, which can be found on the Workspace Details page in the Alibaba Cloud Model Studio console. The existing domain remains fully functional.

HTTP

This API uses the legacy protocol and supports wan2.6 and earlier models (wan2.5/wan2.2/wanx2.1).
Because text-to-video tasks take a long time (typically 1 to 5 minutes), the API uses asynchronous invocation. The entire process involves two core steps: Create a task -> Poll for the result. The process is as follows:

Step 1: Create a task and get the task ID

  • Beijing
  • Singapore
  • Virginia
  • Frankfurt
POST https://{WorkspaceId}.cn-beijing.maas.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/video-generation/video-synthesisReplace {WorkspaceId} with your actual workspace ID.
  • After the task is created, use the returned task_id to query the result. The task_id is valid for 24 hours. Do not create duplicate tasks. Instead, use polling to retrieve the result.
  • For guidance for beginners, see Call APIs with Postman or cURL.

Request parameters

Request headers
Content-Type string (Required)The content type of the request. Must be application/json.Authorization string (Required)Authenticates the request with a Model Studio API key. Example: Bearer sk-xxxx.X-DashScope-Async string (Required)Enables asynchronous processing. HTTP requests support only asynchronous calls. Must be enable.
If this request header is missing, the error "current user api does not support synchronous calls" is returned.
Request body
model string (Required)The name of the model to use. For a list of available models, see the model list.Example: wan2.6-t2v.input object (Required)Contains basic input information, such as the prompt.

Properties

prompt string (Required)The text prompt. It describes the desired elements and visual characteristics of the generated video.The prompt can be in Chinese or English. The length is measured in characters, where each Chinese character or letter is counted as one character. Text that exceeds the character limit is automatically truncated. The length limit varies by model version:
  • wan2.6 and wan2.5 series models: Up to 1,500 characters.
  • wan2.2 and wanx2.1 series models: Up to 800 characters.
Example: A kitten running in the moonlight.For more information, see the Text-to-video/image-to-video prompt guide.negative_prompt string (Optional)A prompt that describes the content to exclude from the video. This helps refine the generated content.The prompt can be in Chinese or English. The maximum length is 500 characters. Text that exceeds this limit is automatically truncated.Example: low resolution, error, worst quality, low quality, deformed, extra fingers, bad proportions.audio_url string (Optional)Supported models: wan2.6 and wan2.5 series models.The URL of the audio file. The model will use this audio to generate the video.Supported input formats:
  1. Public URL:
  2. Temporary URL:
Audio limits:
  • Format: wav, mp3.
  • Duration: 3 to 30 s.
  • File size: Up to 15 MB.
  • Handling audio that exceeds the specified duration: If the audio is longer than the value specified for the duration parameter (for example, 5 seconds), the audio is truncated to the specified duration. If the audio is shorter than the video duration, the remaining part of the video is silent. For example, if the audio is 3 seconds long and the video is 5 seconds long, the first 3 seconds of the video will have audio and the last 2 seconds will be silent.
parameters object (Optional)Video processing parameters, such as setting the video resolution, enabling prompt rewriting, and adding a watermark.

Properties

size string (Optional)
  • The size directly affects the cost. Before making a call, review the model pricing.
  • The size must be set to a specific value, such as 1280*720, not an aspect ratio such as 1:1 or a resolution tier such as 480P.
Specifies the resolution of the generated video in width*height format. The default value and valid values for this parameter depend on the model parameter, as described below:
  • wan2.6-t2v: The default value is 1920*1080 (1080P). Valid resolutions include all resolutions in the 720P and 1080P tiers.
  • wan2.5-t2v-preview: The default value is 1920*1080 (1080P). Valid resolutions include all resolutions in the 480P, 720P, and 1080P tiers.
  • wan2.2-t2v-plus: The default value is 1920*1080 (1080P). Valid resolutions include all resolutions in the 480P and 1080P tiers.
  • wanx2.1-t2v-turbo: The default value is 1280*720 (720P). Valid resolutions include all resolutions in the 480P and 720P tiers.
  • wanx2.1-t2v-plus: The default value is 1280*720 (720P). Valid resolutions include all resolutions in the 720P tier.
480P tier: The valid video resolutions and their corresponding aspect ratios are:
  • 832*480: 16:9.
  • 480*832: 9:16.
  • 624*624: 1:1.
720P tier: The valid video resolutions and their corresponding aspect ratios are:
  • 1280*720: 16:9.
  • 720*1280: 9:16.
  • 960*960: 1:1.
  • 1088*832: 4:3.
  • 832*1088: 3:4.
1080P tier: The valid video resolutions and their corresponding aspect ratios are:
  • 1920*1080: 16:9.
  • 1080*1920: 9:16.
  • 1440*1440: 1:1.
  • 1632*1248: 4:3.
  • 1248*1632: 3:4.
duration integer (Optional)
The duration directly affects the cost. Cost = Unit price (based on resolution) × Duration (in seconds). Before making a call, review the model pricing.
The duration of the generated video in seconds. The valid values for this parameter depend on the model parameter:
  • wan2.6-t2v: An integer from 2 to 15. The default value is 5.
  • wan2.5-t2v-preview: Valid values are 5 and 10. The default value is 5.
  • wan2.2-t2v-plus: Fixed at 5 seconds and cannot be changed.
  • wanx2.1-t2v-plus: Fixed at 5 seconds and cannot be changed.
  • wanx2.1-t2v-turbo: Fixed at 5 seconds and cannot be changed.
prompt_extendboolean (Optional)Specifies whether to enable prompt rewriting. When enabled, a model intelligently rewrites the input prompt. This significantly improves the quality of the generated video for shorter prompts but increases the running time.
  • true (default)
  • false
shot_type string (Optional)Supported models: wan2.6 models.Specifies the shot type of the generated video, that is, whether the video consists of a single continuous shot or multiple changing shots.Valid values:
  • single: Default value. Outputs a single-shot video.
  • multi: Outputs a multi-shot video.
Condition: This parameter takes effect only when "prompt_extend": true is set.Parameter priority: shot_type > prompt. For example, if shot_type is set to "single", the model outputs a single-shot video even if the prompt contains "generate a multi-shot video".watermark boolean (Optional)Specifies whether to add a watermark. The watermark is placed in the lower-right corner of the video with the fixed text "AI Generated".
  • false (default)
  • true
seed integer (Optional)The random number seed must be an integer in the range [0, 2147483647].If not specified, a random seed is generated. A fixed seed improves reproducibility.Because model generation is probabilistic, the same seed does not guarantee identical results.
  • Multi-shot narrative
  • Provide an audio file
  • Automatic dubbing
  • Generate a silent video
  • Use a negative prompt
  • For a multi-shot video, shot_type must be set to "multi".
  • For a multi-shot video, prompt_extend must be set to true to enable prompt rewriting for shot description optimization.

DashScope SDK

The parameter names in the SDK are mostly consistent with the HTTP API, and the parameter structure is encapsulated to align with the features of the programming language. Because text-to-video tasks can take a long time to complete (typically 1 to 5 minutes), the SDK encapsulates the HTTP asynchronous call process and supports both synchronous and asynchronous invocation methods.
The actual processing time depends on the number of tasks in the queue and the service status. Wait for the result.

Python

Make sure your DashScope Python SDK version is at least1.25.16 before running the following code.If you use an older version, you may encounter errors such as "url error, please check url!". To update the SDK, see Install the SDK.
Set dashscope.base_http_api_url based on the region where the model is located:
  • Beijing

He rides a small but heroic warhorse and says: 'The long clouds of Qinghai darken the snowy mountains, a lone city gazes at Yumen Pass from afar. Through a hundred battles in the yellow sand, the golden armor is worn through, but we will not return until we have broken Loulan'. Below the cliff, a vast and endless army of mice with makeshift weapons is charging forward. This is a dramatic, large-scale battle scene inspired by ancient Chinese war epics. In the distance, dark clouds gather in the sky over the snowy mountains. The overall atmosphere is a comical and epic fusion of 'cute' and 'domineering'.",

FAQ

A: You cannot convert the link directly. The correct procedure is to have your backend service retrieve the URL, download the video file, and then upload it to a permanent object storage service, such as Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service (OSS), to generate a new, permanent access link.
import requests

def download_and_save_video(video_url, save_path):
    try:
        response = requests.get(video_url, stream=True, timeout=300) # Set a timeout
        response.raise_for_status() # Raise an exception if the HTTP status code is not 200
        with open(save_path, 'wb') as f:
            for chunk in response.iter_content(chunk_size=8192):
                f.write(chunk)
        print(f"Video successfully downloaded to: {save_path}")
        # Add the logic to upload to permanent storage here
    except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
        print(f"Failed to download the video: {e}")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    video_url = "http://dashscope-result-sh.oss-cn-shanghai.aliyuncs.com/xxxx"
    save_path = "video.mp4"
    download_and_save_video(video_url, save_path)
A: No. You should not play the link directly in a browser because it expires after 24 hours. Instead, you should download and store the video, and then use a permanent link for playback.
