You can debug directly in the Playground on the right: fill in Authorization with Bearer sk-your-api-key, set model / input / parameters, then send the request. A successful submission returns a task_id; see below for polling and downloading.

This page covers the create endpoint for happyhorse-1.1-t2v (Text-to-Video) and needs only a text prompt. For the complete async flow, status table, and Python client, see the HappyHorse Overview.

• The create request must go to /wan/api/v1/services/aigc/video-generation/video-synthesis with the request header X-DashScope-Async: enable. Do not use /v1/videos.
• duration must be an integer (5, not "5"); write resolution in uppercase 720P.

Parameter Quick Reference

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Notes
model	string	✓	—	Fixed to happyhorse-1.1-t2v
input.prompt	string	✓	—	Text prompt; describe scene, camera movement, lighting, and style
parameters.resolution	string		720P	720P / 1080P (uppercase)
parameters.duration	int		5	Integer of 2–15 seconds
parameters.prompt_extend	bool		true	Smart rewriting, recommended on
parameters.watermark	bool		false	”AI Generated” watermark in the bottom-right corner
parameters.seed	int		random	0–2147483647, fix for reproducibility

Response Format

A successful creation returns a task_id (not the video itself):

{
  "output": { "task_id": "...", "task_status": "PENDING" },
  "request_id": "..."
}

After submission, you must poll GET /v1/tasks/{task_id} until status: "completed", then download the mp4 from the result_url in the response. When downloading, do not include the Authorization header (it’s a signed OSS direct link), and result_url expires in 24 hours by default. See the full polling loop in HappyHorse Overview · Async Call Flow.
