Inputs, outputs, and recovery

27 Vidu operations, inputs, endpoints, and prices

Every Direct task is quoted from the selected operation, model, resolution, duration, and options. One Vidu provider credit equals 2 OmnAPI credits. The effective USD amount depends on your credit package. The Music Video product has a separate pricing scope; no MV-specific customer rate is applied to the operations below.

Quote: POST /api/v1/vidu/quote
Create: POST /api/v1/vidu/tasks
Status: GET /api/v1/vidu/tasks/{id}
Cancel: POST /api/v1/vidu/tasks/{id}/cancel

Complete operation directory

Endpoint paths are fixed Vidu Enterprise v2 routes selected by OmnAPI. Put Vidu request fields inside the input object; callers cannot submit an arbitrary upstream path or method.

Complete price matrix

Vidu credits explain the upstream rate-card quantity. OmnAPI credits are the amount authorized from your balance. The quote endpoint is the final source for an individual request and applies whole-credit rounding.

URL-only data boundary

OmnAPI relays public HTTP(S) media URLs and does not upload, download, probe, transcode, or store customer media for Vidu Direct. Provide pricingContext.durationSec when URL media duration affects price.

Variable-price operations

Template, template-story, replace-video, and digital-human use pricingContext.providerCreditCap. OmnAPI reserves cap × 2 and refunds unused credits when Vidu reports lower actual usage.
