What is the LTX Video 2 API?

The LTX Video 2 API is a REST interface that lets developers generate AI videos programmatically using Lightricks's LTX Video 2 model. It supports text-to-video, image-to-video through a single POST endpoint. VideoGenAPI handles authentication, billing, and provider infrastructure - you only need one API key to start building with the LTX Video 2 API.
