# Veo 3.1 — API Reference

Model ID: `model_veo3-1`

---

## Authentication

Scenario API uses HTTP Basic Auth. Encode your credentials in Base64 and pass them as the `Authorization` header.

```
Authorization: Basic base64("<API_KEY>:<API_SECRET>")
```

- **API_KEY** and **API_SECRET** are found in your [Scenario Project Settings](https://app.scenario.com/team&tab=project_api_keys) under API Keys.
- In shell: `$(echo -n '<API_KEY>:<API_SECRET>' | base64)`
- In JavaScript: `btoa("<API_KEY>:<API_SECRET>")`
- In Python: `base64.b64encode(f"{api_key}:{api_secret}".encode()).decode()`

## Generate

**Endpoint:** `POST https://api.cloud.scenario.com/v1/generate/custom/model_veo3-1`

### Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `prompt` | string | - | - | Describe your video |
| `referenceImagesType` | string | - | `ASSET` | The type of the reference image, which defines how the reference image will be used to generate the video. ASSET is a reference image that provides assets to the generated video, such as the scene, an object, a character, etc. STYLE is A reference image that provides aesthetics including colors, lighting, texture, etc., to be used as the style of the generated video, such as 'anime', 'photography', 'origami', etc.  |
| `negativePrompt` | string | - | `` | Description of what to discourage in the generated video |
| `resolution` | string | - | `720p` | Resolution of the generated video |
| `generateAudio` | boolean | yes | `true` | Generate audio for the video |
| `aspectRatio` | string | - | `16:9` | Aspect ratio for the generated video. If the aspect ratio of the input image does not match the selected video ratio, the model may crop the image to fit. 9:16 is not supported with reference images. |
| `duration` | number | - | `8` | Video duration. With Reference Images, only 8s duration is supported. |
| `seed` | number | - | - | Use a seed for reproducible results. Leave blank to use a random seed. |

**Python**

```python
import requests
import base64

api_key = "<API_KEY>"
api_secret = "<API_SECRET>"
token = base64.b64encode(f"{api_key}:{api_secret}".encode()).decode()

url = "https://api.cloud.scenario.com/v1/generate/custom/model_veo3-1"
headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Basic {token}",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}
payload = {
    "referenceImagesType": "ASSET",
    "negativePrompt": "",
    "resolution": "720p",
    "generateAudio": True,
    "aspectRatio": "16:9",
    "duration": 8
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload)
print(response.json())
```

**JavaScript**

```javascript
const token = btoa("<API_KEY>:<API_SECRET>");

const body = {
  "referenceImagesType": "ASSET",
  "negativePrompt": "",
  "resolution": "720p",
  "generateAudio": true,
  "aspectRatio": "16:9",
  "duration": 8
};

const response = await fetch(
  "https://api.cloud.scenario.com/v1/generate/custom/model_veo3-1",
  {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "Authorization": `Basic ${token}`,
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    body: JSON.stringify(body),
  }
);

const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
```

## Retrieve Results

After submitting a generation request, you receive a `jobId`. Poll the job status endpoint until the job completes.

**Endpoint:** `GET https://api.cloud.scenario.com/v1/jobs/{jobId}`

**Headers:**
```
Authorization: Basic base64("<API_KEY>:<API_SECRET>")
```

Poll until `job.status` is `"success"`. The generated asset IDs are in `job.metadata.assetIds`.

**Example response:**
```json
{
  "job": {
    "jobId": "job_abc123",
    "status": "success",
    "metadata": {
      "assetIds": [
        "asset_abc123"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

> **Important:** Generated asset URLs are **temporary** and expire after a short period. Download and store any images you wish to keep before the URL expires. More info: [Content Delivery Network (CDN)](https://docs.scenario.com/docs/content-delivery-network-cdn).
