Quickstart

1

Get your API key

Sign in to your Dashboard and create an API key.
2

Pick a model

Browse the full model catalog to compare capabilities and pricing — or jump straight into the API Reference on the left.
3

Send your first request

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.linkmodel.ai/api/v1/video-generation \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "model": "sora-2",
    "prompt": "A golden retriever catching a frisbee in slow motion"
  }'
The response includes a task_id — poll it to retrieve the generated asset.

​
Base URL

https://api.linkmodel.ai/api/v1
All endpoints accept application/json and return JSON.

​
Authentication

Pass your API key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header. 
Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>
Keys are managed in the Dashboard. Treat them as secrets — never commit them to source control or expose them in client-side code.

​
Response envelope

Every response shares the same outer shape:
FieldTypeDescription
codeinteger0 indicates success; non-zero is an error (mirrors HTTP status).
dataobjectEndpoint-specific payload. Empty {} on errors.
msgstringHuman-readable status or error message.
request_idstringTrace id — include when contacting support.

​
Success example

  "code": 0,
  "data": {

    "order_id": "019da9cf-d1db-78e1-ac23-526774d01193",

  },
  "msg": "success",
  "request_id": "250b66dd-e1fb-4bb6-b5f6-c668efadc35d"
}

​
Error codes

CodeMeaning
400Bad request — required field missing or invalid.
401Unauthorized — missing or invalid API key.
500Internal error — task creation failed (e.g. insufficient balance).
All errors return the same envelope with a non-zero code and a descriptive msg.
