# Video generation

`POST /v1/videos/generations` — Start rendering a short 720p clip — async, poll for the result.

- Base URL: https://eroq.ai/v1
- Auth: `Authorization: Bearer eroq_sk_…` (create keys at https://eroq.ai/dashboard/keys)
- Credits: 100 for 5s · 180 for 10s · + storage with store: true

Video is slow by nature (one to five minutes), so this endpoint is **asynchronous**: the call charges, starts the render and answers `202` immediately with a job id. Poll `GET /v1/videos/generations/{id}` every few seconds until `status` is `succeeded` or `failed`.

The money guarantee is unchanged: credits are charged at submit, and a render that fails — or never completes within 10 minutes — refunds itself automatically. You only ever pay for a delivered clip.

The finished clip arrives inline as base64 MP4 on the job and is kept for 24 hours — or set `store: true` to persist it to the eroq Store and receive a durable CDN URL instead, with the Store's rate (2 credits / started 10MB) charged on top.

## Request body

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `prompt` | string | yes | The scene to render. |
| `model` | string | no | Only `eroq-motion-one` today. |
| `duration` | string | no | `5s` (default) or `10s`. |
| `store` | boolean | no | Persist to the eroq Store and answer with a CDN URL. +2 credits per started 10MB. Default `false`. |
