How this service works
Animica Python Cloud: deploy a Python function to animica.dev, get a public endpoint, and earn ANM every time someone runs it. Free AI (OpenAI-compatible, no key), free scheduled Workers, and an 80/20 developer split.
Output
A JSON job handle containing job_id, kind, status, position in queue, number of miners online, a poll_url for checking progress, and a message. The rendering is asynchronous — the agent must poll the returned poll_url (free, public) until status is 'done', then fetch the rendered video artifact from the indicated location.
Example use cases
AI text-to-video content creation
“Create a video from this prompt: 'a futuristic city skyline at night with flying cars and neon lights reflecting on wet streets' — use text-to-video mode and make it cinematic quality.”
Animate a product image for marketing
“I have an uploaded product photo (upload ID: img_abc123) — can you turn it into a short animated video using image-to-video mode? Make it look smooth and professional.”
Remove background from a brand video
“I need to remove the background from my uploaded video clip (upload ID: vid_xyz789) using the background removal mode so I can place it on a custom backdrop.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://animica.dev/x402/media/videoWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to generate or edit video content programmatically via a pay-per-call API with no subscription required, especially for AI agent workflows that need text-to-video, image-to-video, video upscaling, subtitle injection, background removal, or short-form video creation at a low per-call cost (~$0.009 USDC). Prefer this over hosted video platforms when you need API-first async job submission with polling, or when integrating video generation into an automated agent pipeline.
Side effects
- Missing required 'prompt' field for non-upload-driven kinds returns an error
- Invalid 'kind' value not matching accepted aliases causes a 400-level error
- Missing 'upload_ids' for image-to-video or edit kinds causes a job failure
- Payment failure via x402 protocol prevents job submission
- Queue congestion may result in high position values and long wait times
- Polling the artifact URL before status is 'done' returns incomplete or no data
