Google Vids API

October 7, 2026 (October 22, 2026)

This is a third-party API for Google Vids by Google. It uses your Google AI subscription: Free, Plus $4.99, Pro $19.99, Ultra $99.99 or Ultra $199.99 a month (as of October 2026). Through a REST API and a hosted MCP server, it makes Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash videos with sound at 720p or 1080p, extends, upscales and edits them, and makes images and talking avatars with 30 voices. Google publishes no Google Vids API, and Vids asks for no captcha and has its own monthly Omni allowance, separate from Google Flow credits.

Models

Model	What it makes	Notes
Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash	Video with sound and speech from text, a start image, or up to 3 references that mix your images and avatars	3 to 10 seconds, 720p or 1080p, landscape or portrait, extend to about 41 seconds, upscale to 1080p, edit by prompt
Avatars	Talking avatars for your videos: a picture and one of 30 voices	Drawn from a description or a Vids image, up to 3 in one video for a dialogue, kept on the account until you delete them
Vids images	Images from text	About 1 megapixel, 16:9, 1:1 or 9:16, in 7 styles, for references and avatar pictures
More	Uploads of JPEG, PNG, WebP or MP4 up to 50 MB, downloads, and avatars made in the Vids web app

Google added Omni 1.1 Flash to Vids in September 2026. Make, extend and edit at 720p and upscale once at the end: in our tests a 1080p clip looks like an upscaled 720p one, and faces get softer with each extend or edit at 1080p. Vids images are basic, with no reference images and no larger size. For better images use the Google Flow API: Nano Banana with reference images, at up to 4K.

Every video carries Google’s invisible SynthID watermark and a visible Gemini ✦ in a corner, and the API returns Google’s file unchanged. The free watermark remover in our GitHub examples takes the visible ✦ off clips as generated and their upscales (details).

MCP server

The hosted Google Vids MCP server gives Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and other AI assistants 16 tools for videos, extends, upscales, edits, images, uploads and talking avatars, with your useapi.net API token and nothing to install. It is listed in the official MCP Registry as net.useapi/google-vids, and the google-vids-api repo also adds it in one step as a Claude Code plugin or a Gemini CLI extension.

Pricing

What one video costs on Google’s Gemini API and on each Google AI subscription (as of October 2026). Vids has no credits: each subscription comes with seconds of video and a number of images a month, listed on Google’s Gemini in Google Vids page, so a video costs its share of the subscription.

A free Google account makes avatars at no cost, but in our tests (October 2026) it gets no video seconds or images in Vids, so videos and images skip it.
A video uses its length in seconds, at the same rate for 720p and 1080p, and references or avatars add nothing. An extend uses only the seconds it adds, an upscale uses the clip’s seconds again, and an edit uses the seconds it returns, at most 10. A request Google refuses uses nothing.
Video seconds are shared by everyone on a Google family plan, while images are counted per account. Allowances reset on the 1st of the month at 00:00 Pacific time.
GET /accounts/email shows what each account has left. When an allowance runs out, the job fails with 429 and the reset time, and the account takes no more jobs of that kind until then.
The seconds and images per plan are Google’s figures, and our tests on Ultra $199.99 match them. Plan prices are Google’s US prices.

On Ultra $199.99, one Google account connected to this API and to the Google Flow API makes about 1,000 ten-second Omni videos here and about 1,666 more in Flow each month, about 2,666 in all.

One Google account, four APIs

The same Google AI plan powers several useapi.net APIs, each from its own allowance, so one Google account connected to all of them gets the most out of the plan:

Google Flow API: Veo 3.1 and Omni 1.1 Flash video, Nano Banana images up to 4K, from Flow credits.
Google Vids API: Omni 1.1 Flash video with avatars and voices, from the Vids allowance, which does not use Flow credits.
Gemini Notebook API (NotebookLM API): chat with sources, Deep Research and every Studio output, from the Gemini Notebook usage limits.
Flow Music API: full songs with Lyria in Google Flow Music, which signs in with a Google account too, on Flow Music’s own plans.

Each API is set up on its own setup page, and one useapi.net subscription covers all of them.

Start using the API

A single $15/month subscription covers every API on useapi.net — one token, all services. You connect up to 3 accounts per service, each with its own website subscription, and useapi.net handles the REST API, load balancing, and polling. Need more accounts? Each extra subscription is $10/month and adds 3 more accounts per service.

Subscribe — $15/month Pay with crypto

Pricing and volume options — full refund within the first 14 days if you have fewer than 50 successful generations. Already subscribed? Change the quantity in the Stripe Customer Portal instead of buying again.

Run several Google Vids accounts

Each useapi.net subscription connects 3 Google accounts, up to 50 in total. Video and image requests don’t need email: each job goes to an account that is healthy, has a free slot within its maxJobs (1 to 10, default 3) and has allowance left for that kind of job. A job Google refuses because the account’s allowance is used up moves to another account with allowance left and runs there. When every account is busy you get 429, so wait and send it again. When every account has used up its allowance, the 429 comes at once with retryAt, the earliest reset time. Pass email to pin a job to one account. A job that uses an upload, an avatar or an earlier clip runs on the account that holds it. Accounts of one family plan share their video seconds, so adding them runs more jobs at once and adds images, but no seconds.

Every job can post its finished record to your webhook with replyUrl, or you poll GET /jobs/jobid, so a video, which usually takes 20 to 100 seconds, needs no open connection. GET /jobs shows what each account is running. Download results soon: videos stay available for 24 hours and images for a few hours (how long files last).

Questions

Does Google Vids have an API?

Through useapi.net, yes. Google has published no Google Vids API (as of October 2026), and the useapi.net Google Vids API makes Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash videos, images and talking avatars in Vids over REST, on your Google AI subscription. The MCP server gives the same tools to Claude Code, Cursor and other AI assistants, with nothing to install.

How much does the Google Vids API cost?

Through useapi.net, a 10-second Omni 1.1 Flash video uses about $0.20 of Google AI Ultra $199.99, against about $1.01 at 720p on Google’s Gemini API (as of October 2026). Images and avatars use no video seconds. The price table shows every plan.

Is there a Google Vids API key?

Through useapi.net, one API token is the only key you need. Connect your Google account once with the automated setup: you sign in with Google in a remote browser, with no cookies to copy, no Google Cloud project, no Gemini API key and no captcha provider. If Google ever signs the account out, you get an email with a link to re-add it.

Can the Google Vids API make talking AI avatars?

Through useapi.net, yes, while Google offers Vids avatars only in its web app: POST /avatars pairs a person’s picture with one of 30 Gemini voices, and up to 3 avatars speak the lines you write in a video prompt. The AI influencer tutorial builds a clip step by step.
