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

Availability
To ensure successful calls, the model, Endpoint URL, and API Key must all belong to the same region. Cross-region calls will fail.
-
Select a model: Confirm the region of the model.
-
Select a URL: Choose the corresponding regional Endpoint URL. HTTP URLs and DashScope SDK URLs are supported.
-
Configure an API key: Select a region, get an API key, and then configure the API key as an environment variable (to be deprecated and merged into API key configuration).
-
Install the SDK: To make calls using the SDK, you must install the DashScope SDK.
The sample code in this topic applies to the Singapore region.
Model Studio has released a workspace-specific domain for the Singapore region: https://{WorkspaceId}.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com. The new dedicated domain delivers superior performance and higher stability for inference requests. We recommend migrating from https://dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com to the new domain.
{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
This API uses the legacy protocol and supports wan2.6 and earlier models (wan2.5/wan2.2/wan2.1).
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
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.
Virginia
POST https://dashscope-us.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/video-generation/video-synthesis
Frankfurt
POST https://{WorkspaceId}.eu-central-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/video-generation/video-synthesis
Replace WorkspaceId with your Workspace ID.
Beijing
POST https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/aigc/video-generation/video-synthesis
-
After the task is created, use the returned
task_idto query the result. Thetask_idis 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 |
Multi-shot narrative
Provide an audio fileSupported models: wan2.6/wan2.5 series models. You can provide the URL of a custom audio file using the
Automatic dubbingSupported models: wan2.6/wan2.5 series models. If you do not provide
Generate a silent videoOnly the wan2.2 and wan2.1 series models support silent video generation. These models generate silent videos by default, and no additional configuration is required. The wan2.6 and wan2.5 series models generate videos with audio by default.
Use a negative promptSupported models: All models. Use the negative_prompt parameter to exclude the "flower" element and prevent it from appearing in the video.

Replace WorkspaceId with your actual Workspace ID.
Virginia
GET https://dashscope-us.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/tasks/{task_id}

-
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_idvalidity: 24 hours. After this period, queries return the task status asUNKNOWN.

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 least 1.25.16 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:
Singapore
dashscope.base_http_api_url = 'https://{WorkspaceId}.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/api/v1'
Replace WorkspaceId with your actual Workspace ID.
Virginia
dashscope.base_http_api_url = 'https://dashscope-us.aliyuncs.com/api/v1'
Beijing
dashscope.base_http_api_url = 'https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/api/v1'
Frankfurt
dashscope.base_http_api_url = 'https://{WorkspaceId}.eu-central-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/api/v1'

In a classic detective office, wooden bookshelves are filled with old case files and ashtrays. A green desk lamp illuminates a case file spread out in the center of the desk. A fox, wearing a dark brown trench coat and a light gray fedora, sits in a leather chair, its fur crimson, its tail resting lightly on the edge, its fingers slowly turning yellowed pages. Outside, a steady drizzle falls beneath a blue sky, streaking the glass with meandering streaks. It slowly raises its head, its ears twitching slightly, its amber eyes gazing directly at the camera, its mouth clearly moving as it speaks in a smooth, cynical voice: 'The case was cold, colder than a fish in winter. But every chicken has its secrets, and I, for one, intended to find them '",

FAQ
Q: How do I convert a temporary video link to a permanent one?
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.
Q: Can the returned video link be played directly in a browser?
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.
