Race car POV camera mounted on a delivery e-bike, weaving through rush hour traffic at insane speed, dramatic engine roar SFX implied, slow-mo sparks as pedal scrapes the ground on a sharp turn — pulls up to apartment building, calmly rings doorbell. Driver lifts visor: just a guy. Helmet cam + chase cam cuts. Full F1 broadcast energy.
A golden retriever in a tiny suit rides a crowded Tokyo subway, holding a briefcase between its paws, staring blankly ahead like every other commuter. No one reacts. Camera pushes slowly into his vacant eyes. Documentary realism, handheld.

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/wavespeed-ai/tiktok-video-generator with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id. Start polling the result endpoint around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. On completed, read output values from data.outputs. Examples for Tiktok Video Generator below.

time.sleep(2)Tiktok Video Generator is a WaveSpeedAI model for video generation, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. WaveSpeed TikTok Video Generator creates viral-ready videos from text prompts and optional reference images with native audio, dynamic transitions, and scroll-stopping motion. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no cold starts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
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 result endpoint starting around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. The playground generates production-oriented Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples with timeouts, transient-error handling, and safe GET retries. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/wavespeed-ai/tiktok-video-generator.
Tiktok Video Generator starts at $0.80 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.
Key inputs: `prompt`, `images`, `aspect_ratio`, `duration`. 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/wavespeed-ai/tiktok-video-generator.
Median end-to-end generation time on WaveSpeedAI is around 238 seconds per request, based on recent successful runs. Queue time varies with global demand; live status is visible in the prediction record.
Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (WaveSpeedAI). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
