Authentication · x-api-key

Relays an allowlisted Vidu operation through OmnAPI's Task/Credits lifecycle. Inputs and output URLs are passed through; OmnAPI does not upload, download, transcode, persist, or otherwise process media. Download outputs within one hour because finished URLs may expire sooner than standard 24-hour creation URLs.
