Video To Music API — Quick start
Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/sonilo/video-to-music with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to completed, then read the output URL from data.outputs[0]. Examples for Video To Music below.
HTTP example
# Submit the prediction
curl -X POST "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/sonilo/video-to-music" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY" \
-d '{
"video": "https://example.com/your-input.mp4",
"prompt": "A cinematic shot of a city at sunset, soft golden light"
}'
# Response includes a prediction id. Poll for the result:
curl -X GET "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/predictions/{request_id}/result" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY"
# When status is "completed", read the output from data.outputs[0].Node.js example
// npm install wavespeed
const WaveSpeed = require('wavespeed');
const client = new WaveSpeed(); // reads WAVESPEED_API_KEY from env
const result = await client.run("sonilo/video-to-music", {
"video": "https://example.com/your-input.mp4",
"prompt": "A cinematic shot of a city at sunset, soft golden light"

What is the Video To Music API?
Video To Music is a Sonilo model for AI inference, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Sonilo Video-to-Music is a fast AI music generation model that creates background music synced to an input video’s mood, pacing, and scene transitions. Ready-to-use REST inference API for video soundtracks, social media content, advertising creatives, cinematic clips, product videos, creator workflows, and professional video-to-music generation with simple integration, no coldstarts, and affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
How do I call the Video To Music API?
POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to "completed", then read the output URL from the result. The playground generates a ready-to-paste code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for whatever inputs you've set. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/sonilo/sonilo-video-to-music.
How much does Video To Music cost per run?
Video To Music starts at $0.009 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.
What inputs does Video To Music accept?
Key inputs: `prompt`, `video`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/sonilo/sonilo-video-to-music.
How do I get started with the Video To Music API?
Sign up for a free WaveSpeedAI account to claim starter credits, copy your API key from /accesskey, then call the endpoint shown in the API tab of the playground. The playground also auto-generates a code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for the parameters you've set.
Can I use Video To Music outputs commercially?
Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (Sonilo). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
