What is the Veo 2 API?

The Veo 2 API is a REST interface that lets developers generate AI videos programmatically using Google DeepMind's Veo 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 Veo 2 API.

How to use the Veo 2 API

Integrate the Veo 2 API in your app in under 5 minutes with these four steps.

1

Create your VideoGenAPI account

Sign up free at VideoGenAPI.com and generate your API key from the dashboard. No Google DeepMind account needed.
2

Send a request to the Veo 2 API

POST to https://videogenapi.com/api/v1/generate with your API key, model "veo2", and a text prompt describing your video.
3

Poll for completion

Use the returned generation_id to poll GET /api/v1/status/{id} until the job completes. Video completion webhooks are not available yet.
4

Download your video

Once status is "completed", retrieve the video URL from the response and embed it in your app, website, or workflow.

Comparison

Veo 2 API vs alternatives

How the Veo 2 API compares on resolution, clip length, generation speed and price. All models below share one API key.

Comparison of the Veo 2 API against alternative AI video generation models on VideoGenAPI
Model	Provider	Max resolution	Clip length	Avg. speed	Price / video
Veo 2 API This page	Google DeepMind	1080p	10s	~110s	Pay-as-you-go
Veo 3 Fast API	Google DeepMind	1080p	8s	~60s	$0.45
Sora 2 API	OpenAI	1080p	10s	~110s	Pay-as-you-go
Wan 2.5 API	Alibaba	1080p	5-10s	~50s	Pay-as-you-go

Switching between these models means changing the veo2 value in your request body. The endpoint, authentication and status polling stay the same.

Limits

Veo 2 API limitations
