Generate physically realistic, motion-smooth video from text prompts with the HappyHorse model.

Availability

The model, endpoint URL, and API key must belong to the same region. Cross-region calls fail.

Note

The sample code in this topic applies to the China (Beijing) region.

Important

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 Model Studio console. The existing domain remains fully functional.

HTTP request

Text-to-video tasks typically take 1 to 5 minutes. The API uses asynchronous calls with two steps: "Create a task → Poll for results".

Step 1: Create a task and get the task ID

China (Beijing)

POST https://{WorkspaceId}.cn-beijing.maas.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/video-generation/video-synthesis

Replace WorkspaceId with your actual Workspace ID.

Singapore

POST https://{WorkspaceId}.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/video-generation/video-synthesis

Replace WorkspaceId with your actual Workspace ID.

US (Virginia)

POST https://dashscope-us.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/video-generation/video-synthesis

Germany (Frankfurt)

POST https://{WorkspaceId}.eu-central-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/video-generation/video-synthesis

Replace WorkspaceId with your actual Workspace ID.

Note

  • 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

Text-to-video

curl --location 'https://{WorkspaceId}.cn-beijing.maas.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/video-generation/video-synthesis' \
    -H 'X-DashScope-Async: enable' \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $DASHSCOPE_API_KEY" \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{
    "model": "happyhorse-1.1-t2v",
    "input": {
        "prompt": "A miniature city built from cardboard and bottle caps comes to life at night. A cardboard train slowly passes through, with small lights dotting the scene and illuminating the way ahead."
    },
    "parameters": {
        "resolution": "720P",
        "ratio": "16:9",
        "duration": 5
    }
}'

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.

Important

If this request header is missing, the error "current user api does not support synchronous calls" is returned.
Request body

model string (Required)

Model for video generation.

Valid values:

  • happyhorse-1.1-t2v

  • happyhorse-1.0-t2v

input object (Required)

Model input.

Properties

prompt string (Required)

Text description of the video to generate.

Supports any language. Maximum 5,000 non-Chinese characters or 2,500 Chinese characters. Excess is truncated.

parameters object (Optional)

Video output settings (resolution, aspect ratio, duration).

Properties

resolution string (Optional)

Output video resolution.

Valid values:

  • 720P

  • 1080P (default)

ratio string (Optional)

Output video aspect ratio.

Valid values:

  • 16:9 (default)

  • 9:16

  • 1:1

  • 4:3

  • 3:4

  • 4:5

  • 5:4

  • 9:21

  • 21:9

duration integer (Optional)

Output video duration in seconds.

  • happyhorse-1.0-t2v: 3–15. Default: 5.

watermark boolean (Optional)

Whether to add a watermark. Displays "HappyHorse" in the lower-right corner.

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.

Response parameters

Successful response

Save the task_id to query the task status and result.

{
    "output": {
        "task_status": "PENDING",
        "task_id": "0385dc79-5ff8-4d82-bcb6-xxxxxx"
    },
    "request_id": "4909100c-7b5a-9f92-bfe5-xxxxxx"
}

Error response

Task creation failed. See Error codes.

{
    "code": "InvalidApiKey",
    "message": "No API-key provided.",
    "request_id": "7438d53d-6eb8-4596-8835-xxxxxx"
}

output object

Task output information.

Properties

task_id string

The task ID. Valid for queries for 24 hours.

task_status string

The status of the task.

Enumeration values

  • PENDING

  • RUNNING

  • SUCCEEDED

  • FAILED

  • CANCELED

  • UNKNOWN: The task does not exist or its status is unknown.

request_id string

Unique request identifier for tracing and troubleshooting.

code string

Step 2: Query the result by task ID

China (Beijing)

GET https://{WorkspaceId}.cn-beijing.maas.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/tasks/{task_id}

Replace WorkspaceId with your actual Workspace ID.

Singapore

GET https://{WorkspaceId}.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/tasks/{task_id}

Replace WorkspaceId with your actual Workspace ID.

US (Virginia)

GET https://dashscope-us.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/tasks/{task_id}

GET https://{WorkspaceId}.eu-central-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/tasks/{task_id}

Replace WorkspaceId with your actual Workspace ID.

Note

  • Polling recommendation: Video generation takes several minutes. Use a polling mechanism with a reasonable interval, such as 15 seconds.

  • Task state transition: PENDING → RUNNING → SUCCEEDED or FAILED.

  • Result link: After a task succeeds, a video URL valid for 24 hours is returned. Download and save the video to permanent storage, such as OSS.

  • task_id validity: 24 hours. After this period, queries return the task status as UNKNOWN.

  • RPS limit: The default RPS for the query API is 20. For higher-frequency queries or event notifications, we recommend that you configure an asynchronous task callback.

  • More operations: For batch queries, task cancellation, and other operations, see Manage asynchronous tasks.
