# EachLabs Video Generation

Generate new videos from text prompts, images, or reference inputs using 165+ AI models via the EachLabs Predictions API. For editing existing videos (upscaling, lip sync, extension, subtitles), see the `eachlabs-video-edit` skill.

## Authentication

```
Header: X-API-Key: <your-api-key>
```

Set the `EACHLABS_API_KEY` environment variable or pass it directly. Get your key at [eachlabs.ai](https://eachlabs.ai).

## Quick Start

### 1. Create a Prediction

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.eachlabs.ai/v1/prediction \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "model": "pixverse-v5-6-text-to-video",
    "version": "0.0.1",
    "input": {
      "prompt": "A golden retriever running through a meadow at sunset, cinematic slow motion",
      "resolution": "720p",
      "duration": "5",
      "aspect_ratio": "16:9"
    }
  }'
```

### 2. Poll for Result

```bash
curl https://api.eachlabs.ai/v1/prediction/{prediction_id} \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY"
```

Poll until `status` is `"success"` or `"failed"`. The output video URL is in the response.
