What is the Nano Banana API?

The Nano Banana API is a REST interface that lets developers generate AI videos programmatically using LanneTech's Nano Banana 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 Nano Banana API.

FAQ

Nano Banana API questions

What is Nano Banana? expand_more

Nano Banana is VideoGenAPI's own lightweight video model, built in-house by LanneTech UAE. It generates 720p clips in around 50 seconds and exists so you can integrate and test video generation without spending premium-model credit.

Why use Nano Banana instead of a frontier model? expand_more

For wiring up and testing an integration. Every request, response and webhook is identical across models, so you can build against Nano Banana and switch the model key to Sora 2 or Veo 3 in production without touching your code.

What resolution does Nano Banana output? expand_more

720p, over 5 to 10 second clips. That is a deliberate limit; it is a development and preview model, not one for client deliverables.

Does Nano Banana support image-to-video? expand_more

Yes. Both text-to-video and image-to-video work, so you can exercise both code paths before switching to a premium model.

How do I switch from Nano Banana to a premium model? expand_more

Change the "model" field in your request body. The endpoint, authentication, polling and webhook behaviour are the same for every model on VideoGenAPI.
