How do you call this API?
1. Sign up on NamiFusion and create a key on the API Keys page (free credits on signup).
2. Submit a task with the cURL example below, passing your key as a Bearer token.
3. Poll the task status with the returned task_uuid and read the output URLs when completed.
# 1) Submit — returns { "task_uuid": "..." }
curl -X POST "https://www.namifusion.com/api/v1/marketplace/run/google/gemini-omni-flash/reference-to-video" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"input": {
"images": [
"https://example.com/input.jpg"
],
"prompt": "A cinematic portrait, dramatic rim light, shallow depth of field",
"aspect_ratio": "16:9",
"duration": 8
}
}'
# 2) Poll until status is "completed", then read the output URLs
curl "https://www.namifusion.com/api/v1/marketplace/run/tasks/TASK_UUID" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"What parameters does it take?
images (Images): required
prompt (Prompt): required
aspect_ratio (Aspect Ratio): optional, default "16:9"
duration (Duration): optional, default 8
How do you write prompts for Gemini Omni Flash Reference to Video API?
1. Subject first: lead with the actor and action, then add environment, lighting and style ("an astronaut sprinting through a neon street in the rain, cinematic, shallow depth of field").
2. Concrete nouns beat stacked adjectives: "85mm portrait lens, golden-hour backlight" works far better than "very beautiful, ultra high quality".
3. Change one variable per iteration: pin the seed to reproduce a result, tweak a single phrase at a time so you know what actually moved the output.
4. State negatives positively: instead of "no blur", ask for "sharp focus, crisp details".
How much does it cost?
Pay-per-use in credits. A typical run costs about $1.28 ($1 = 100 credits); the exact price varies with parameters like resolution or duration, and the playground shows the exact quote before you submit.
