Overview
Generate a video from reference images with the fast Wan 2.6 reference-to-video workflow.
Primary Endpoint
/api/v1/userWan26R2V/startGenerate a video from reference images/videos using Wan 2.6 R2V Flash. ### Request - Send a valid bearer token. The server evaluates the operation in the authenticated caller's access context. - Send an `application/json` body. Required fields: `prompt`, `reference_urls`. - API-token callers may include `webhook_url` and `webhook_token` for best-effort terminal-state notifications; ordinary JWT/cookie calls ignore these fields. ### Behavior - This is an asynchronous operation: a successful submission creates a task and returns before processing finishes. - Persist the returned task identifier and use the corresponding detail or list operation to observe progress. - Treat the detail endpoint as the source of truth even when webhook delivery is enabled. ### Response - A `200` response confirms task acceptance; it does not by itself mean media generation has completed. - Retain the returned identifier and wait for a documented terminal status before using output URLs. - JSON object responses, including error responses, normally carry a top-level `trace_id` string for this request; include it when contacting support. It is not a task identifier. - Do not infer undocumented fields or statuses; clients should tolerate additional response properties. ### Errors - `401` — Unauthorized - Invalid or missing JWT token. ### Related Operations - `GET /api/v1/userWan26R2V/allRecords` — Get all R2V tasks. - `GET /api/v1/userWan26R2V/{_id}` — Get R2V task details. - `DELETE /api/v1/userWan26R2V/{_id}` — Delete a R2V task. Authentication: set header Authorization: Bearer <token> (supports user JWT or sk_ API token).
