Get started with Decart’s video transformation API in just a few steps.

​
Prerequisites

Set your API key as an environment variable to keep it secure:
export DECART_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
Or add it to your .env file and use a package like dotenv to load it.

​
Quick test with our example video

Download and transform a sample video in one command: 
# Download our example video and transform it
curl -o example-video.mp4 -L "https://docs.platform.decart.ai/assets/example-video.mp4"

curl -X POST https://api.decart.ai/v1/generate/lucy-pro-v2v \
  -H "X-API-KEY: $DECART_API_KEY" \
  -F "data=@example-video.mp4" \
  -F "prompt=Turn this into anime style" \
  --output transformed.mp4

Install an SDK

Using the SDKs

Transform videos programmatically with our SDKs:
  • JavaScript (Browser)
  • JavaScript (Node.js)
  • Python
  • cURL
import { createDecartClient, models } from "@decartai/sdk";

const client = createDecartClient({
  apiKey: process.env.DECART_API_KEY,
});

// Get video from file input
const fileInput = document.querySelector('input[type="file"]');
const file = fileInput.files[0];

const result = await client.process({
  model: models.video("lucy-pro-v2v"),
  prompt: "Transform into Studio Ghibli animation style",
  data: file,
  enhance_prompt: true,
});

// Display the result
const video = document.querySelector("video");
video.src = URL.createObjectURL(result);
The enhance_prompt: true option tells Decart to enhance your simple prompt into a more detailed description for better results.
