PixVerse V6 Effects image to video applies one of 50 PixVerse effect templates to your photo and returns a short themed clip. The template fixes the length and the motion; you choose the resolution, 360p to 1080p, and whether the clip has sound.
Examples use the selected endpoint’s public parameter definitions. Replace the API key and example media, then send the request from your server.

}HTTP 202 means the task was accepted, not completed. Save the returned taskId and query that task. Do not create another task while waiting for its result.

curl --get "https://api.spicyapi.ai/api/v1/jobs/recordInfo" \
--data-urlencode "taskId=$TASK_ID" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SPICY_API_KEY"Start polling at about 2 seconds and gradually increase the interval. Stop at a terminal state. After a connection failure, query the original taskId. Retry creation only with the original idempotency key and body.
import { verifyWebhook } from "@spicyapi/sdk";
// express.raw keeps the bytes we signed; express.json never matches.
app.post("/hooks/spicy", express.raw({ type: "application/json" }), (req, res) => {
const { payload } = verifyWebhook({
rawBody: req.body,
timestamp: req.header("X-Webhook-Timestamp"),
signature: req.header("X-Webhook-Signature"),
payloadVersion: Number(req.header("X-Webhook-Payload-Version")),
secret: process.env.SPICY_WEBHOOK_SECRET,
});
res.status(200).end();
void handleFinishedTask(payload);
});Pass callBackUrl when you create the task and the finished record is POSTed to you — no polling loop at all. Every delivery carries X-Webhook-Timestamp, X-Webhook-Signature and X-Webhook-Payload-Version. The signature is a base64 HMAC-SHA256 over taskId.timestamp.sha256(body), so it must be checked against the raw bytes: parsing the JSON and re-serialising it changes them and the check will fail. Failed deliveries are retried, so the same taskId can arrive twice — make the handler idempotent. Answer 2xx first and do the work afterwards; a slow handler is treated as a failed delivery.
Consume output only when state is succeeded. On failure, use errorCode, errorMessage and request_id to investigate. Example costs and states do not represent an actual bill.

Use SpicyAPI in your app, terminal, AI assistant or visual workflow. Choose a setup guide below.
You do not have to write any of the code above. Connect the MCP server once and any agent that speaks MCP — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Gemini CLI, Cline, LibreChat — can run this model by name, or run it from your shell with a single command.
Use pixverse/v6-effects/image-to-video to animate ./poster.png — slow push-in, five seconds — and save the clip next to it.
The agent looks the model up in the live catalogue, uploads the local file for you, then shows the exact quote and its maximum charge and waits for your confirmation. Nothing is billed until you say yes.
claude mcp add spicyapi -e SPICY_API_KEY=$SPICY_API_KEY \
-- npx --yes --package=@spicyapi/mcp spicyapi-mcp
npx skills add spicyapi-ai/spicy-skillThe first line gives the agent the tools; the second gives it the Skill — the operating rules for them, so it quotes before it bills, uploads local files instead of pasting bytes, and reads the finished asset URL rather than guessing. Every other client takes the same server through its own config file: see the developer hub.
npx @spicyapi/cli tasks create --model pixverse/v6-effects/image-to-video \
--input-json '{"generate_audio":false,"image_urls":["https://example.com/reference.png"],"preset":"398965022284579","prompt":"A slow aerial shot drifting over a misty pine forest at sunrise","resolution":"720p"}' \
--waitThe input is this endpoint’s own schema, same as the examples above. --wait polls until the task is finished and prints it; add --yes to skip the confirmation prompt in CI. Set SPICY_API_KEY first — one key works for the API, the CLI and the MCP server.
npx @spicyapi/cli tasks create --model pixverse/v6-effects/image-to-video \
--input-json '{…}' --retention 1h --wait
npx @spicyapi/cli tasks get $TASK_ID # read back the retention that applied--retention only ever shortens the window — 30m, 1h, 7d, or 0 to delete as soon as the task reaches a terminal state. The value that actually applies is the shortest of your request, your account settings and the platform maximum, so read it back from the task record rather than assuming the number you asked for took effect. Passing a longer window than your account allows does nothing.
Install the SpicyAPI nodes from ComfyUI Manager or with the command below, then search for PixVerse V6 Effects · Image to Video on the canvas. The node has the same options as this page and shows its price before it runs.
cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/spicyapi-ai/comfyui-spicyapiThe embedded panel reads the same schema as this page, so it cannot drift from the API. If your docs need the content to be searchable, read the JSON under /api/embed/models/ and render it yourself.
