curl -X POST "https://videogenapi.com/api/v1/generate" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $VIDEOGEN_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model": "kling-3", "prompt": "A runner crosses a rain-soaked street at night, neon reflections, tracking shot", "duration": 8}'Replace "kling-3" with "gemini-omni" to run the same prompt on Gemini Omni. Poll GET /api/v1/status/{generation_id} until the status is completed. Full details on the Kling 3 and Gemini Omni pages, and in the generate reference.
