OpenRouter Video Generation API: A Code-First Guide
Blog post from OpenRouter
OpenRouter’s video generation API provides a unified asynchronous workflow for creating videos with supported models such as Seedance, Veo, and Wan, reducing the need to build separate integrations for each provider. Applications submit prompts to a single endpoint, receive a persistent job ID, poll the job until it reaches a completed or terminal error state, and download the resulting MP4 through an authenticated content URL. Although authentication, job handling, and retrieval remain consistent across models, developers should query the live model catalog for supported durations, resolutions, aspect ratios, pricing, audio features, and provider-specific options before submitting requests. The guide recommends storing job IDs durably, distinguishing transient polling failures from actual generation failures to prevent duplicate charges, tracking final usage costs, streaming downloads where appropriate, and moving completed files to controlled storage. For production workloads, it advises bounded concurrency, durable job queues, retries against existing jobs, and webhooks with idempotency and signature verification to handle high volumes efficiently.
