Request body

Field	Type	Required	Description
`generation_type`	string	Yes	`"video_from_text"`.
`data.prompt`	string	Yes	Text description of the video to generate. Supports `{{variable_name}}` syntax.
`data.negative_prompt`	string	No	What to avoid in the generated video.
`data.model`	string	No	Model variant. See Models table.
`data.aspect_ratio`	string	No	`"1:1"`, `"9:16"`, or `"16:9"`. Grok also supports `"4:3"`, `"3:4"`, `"3:2"`, and `"2:3"`.
`data.resolution`	string	No	Output resolution. Use `"1080p"` or `"720p"` when supported by the selected model. If omitted, the API uses the cell default or the closest supported model default.
`data.duration`	integer	No	Video duration in seconds. Accepted values depend on the model — see the Duration column in Models.
`data.native_audio`	boolean	No	Request native audio when supported by the selected video model. Defaults to `false` when omitted.
