These specifications reflect the current HiAPI Veo 3.1 Text to Video request contract.
Validate a short shot first, then increase quality or duration after motion and subject consistency are stable.
This is the minimum request for an asynchronous text-to-video task. Use the API docs for task retrieval, callbacks, errors, and the complete parameter contract.
