About

Generate a video from a text prompt with Wan 3.0.

1. Calling the API#

Install the client#

The client provides a convenient way to interact with the model API.

npm install --save @fal-ai/client

Setup your API Key#

Set FAL_KEY as an environment variable in your runtime.

export FAL_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Submit a request#

The client API handles the API submit protocol. It will handle the request status updates and return the result when the request is completed.

import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

const result = await fal.subscribe("alibaba/wan-3.0/text-to-video", {
  input: {
    prompt: "A red panda walking through a bamboo forest at sunrise"
  },
  logs: true,
  onQueueUpdate: (update) => {
    if (update.status === "IN_PROGRESS") {
      update.logs.map((log) => log.message).forEach(console.log);
    }
  },
});
console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);

2. Authentication#

The API uses an API Key for authentication. It is recommended you set the FAL_KEY environment variable in your runtime when possible.

API Key#

In case your app is running in an environment where you cannot set environment variables, you can set the API Key manually as a client configuration.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

fal.config({
  credentials: "YOUR_FAL_KEY"
});

3. Queue#

Submit a request#

The client API provides a convenient way to submit requests to the model.

import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

const { request_id } = await fal.queue.submit("alibaba/wan-3.0/text-to-video", {
  input: {
    prompt: "A red panda walking through a bamboo forest at sunrise"
  },
  webhookUrl: "https://optional.webhook.url/for/results",
});

Fetch request status#

You can fetch the status of a request to check if it is completed or still in progress.

import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

const status = await fal.queue.status("alibaba/wan-3.0/text-to-video", {
  requestId: "764cabcf-b745-4b3e-ae38-1200304cf45b",
  logs: true,
});

Get the result#

Once the request is completed, you can fetch the result. See the Output Schema for the expected result format.

import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

const result = await fal.queue.result("alibaba/wan-3.0/text-to-video", {
  requestId: "764cabcf-b745-4b3e-ae38-1200304cf45b"
});
console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);

4. Files#

Some attributes in the API accept file URLs as input. Whenever that's the case you can pass your own URL or a Base64 data URI.

Data URI (base64)#

You can pass a Base64 data URI as a file input. The API will handle the file decoding for you. Keep in mind that for large files, this alternative although convenient can impact the request performance.

Hosted files (URL)#

You can also pass your own URLs as long as they are publicly accessible. Be aware that some hosts might block cross-site requests, rate-limit, or consider the request as a bot.

Uploading files#

We provide a convenient file storage that allows you to upload files and use them in your requests. You can upload files using the client API and use the returned URL in your requests.

import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

const file = new File(["Hello, World!"], "hello.txt", { type: "text/plain" });
const url = await fal.storage.upload(file);

Read more about file handling in our file upload guide.

5. Schema#

Input#

prompt string* required

Text prompt for the generated video.

resolution ResolutionEnum

Output video resolution tier. Default value: "1080p"

Possible enum values: 480p, 720p, 1080p

aspect_ratio AspectRatioEnum

Output aspect ratio, or adaptive selection. Default value: "adaptive"

Possible enum values: adaptive, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16

duration integer

Output duration in seconds. Set to null for smart duration, which lets the model pick a length from the prompt and reference media. Default value: 5

audio boolean

Include generated audio. Default value: true

enable_prompt_expansion boolean

Enable intelligent prompt rewriting. Disabling it can save roughly 20-60 seconds of latency but is likely to degrade generation quality. Default value: true

enable_thinking boolean

Enable enhanced reasoning before generation.

seed integer
enable_safety_checker boolean

Enable content moderation for input and output. Disabling it requires account authorization; unauthorized requests are always checked. Default value: true

{
  "prompt": "A red panda walking through a bamboo forest at sunrise",
  "resolution": "1080p",
  "aspect_ratio": "adaptive",
  "duration": 5,
  "audio": true,
  "enable_prompt_expansion": true,
  "enable_safety_checker": true
}
