VEO API
Access Google's Veo 3 and Veo 2 video generation models through Runcrate's API. Veo 3 delivers improved quality with native audio generation. Veo 3 Fast offers quicker turnaround at slightly lower quality. All versions available through a simple REST endpoint with per-second billing.

QUICK START
import requests, time
# Submit video generation job
response = requests.post(
"https://api.runcrate.ai/v1/videos",
headers={
"Authorization": "Bearer rc_live_YOUR_API_KEY",
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
json={
"model": "google/veo-3.0",
"prompt": "A chef preparing sushi in a traditional Japanese restaurant",
"duration": 6,
},
)
job = response.json()
# Poll for completion
while True:
poll = requests.get(
f"https://api.runcrate.ai/v1/videos/{job['id']}",
headers={"Authorization": "Bearer rc_live_YOUR_API_KEY"},
)
data = poll.json()
if data["status"] == "completed":
break
time.sleep(5)
# Download the video
video = requests.get(
f"https://api.runcrate.ai/v1/videos/{job['id']}/download",
headers={"Authorization": "Bearer rc_live_YOUR_API_KEY"},
)
with open("video.mp4", "wb") as f:

WHY RUNCRATE
Veo 3 Audio generates synchronized sound effects and ambient audio alongside the video. No separate audio generation step needed.
Built on Google DeepMind research. Veo 3 produces natural motion, consistent lighting, and realistic textures across the full clip.
Veo 3 Fast delivers results in roughly half the time of the standard model, ideal for iteration and previewing before committing to full-quality renders.
Same REST pattern as all Runcrate video models. POST to create, GET to poll, GET to download. Switch between Veo, Sora, and Kling by changing one parameter.
