AIMLAPI Media Generation

Overview

Generate images and videos via AIMLAPI with scripts that include retries, API key file fallback, verbose logs, and required User-Agent headers on every request.

Quick start

export AIMLAPI_API_KEY="sk-aimlapi-..."
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/gen_image.py --prompt "ultra-detailed studio photo of a lobster astronaut"
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/gen_video.py --prompt "slow drone shot of a foggy forest"

Tasks

Generate images

Use scripts/gen_image.py with /v1/images/generations.

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/gen_image.py \
  --prompt "cozy cabin in a snowy forest" \
  --model aimlapi/openai/gpt-image-1 \
  --size 1024x1024 \
  --count 2 \
  --retry-max 4 \
  --user-agent "openclaw-custom/1.0" \
  --out-dir ./out/images

Generate videos (async AIMLAPI flow)

Use scripts/gen_video.py with the real async flow:

1. POST /v2/video/generations (create task)
2. GET /v2/video/generations?generation_id=... (poll status)
3. download video.url when status is completed

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/gen_video.py \
  --model google/veo-3.1-t2v-fast \
  --prompt "time-lapse of clouds over a mountain range" \
  --poll-interval 10 \
  --max-wait 1000 \
  --user-agent "openclaw-custom/1.0" \
  --out-dir ./out/videos
