How Golpo API Works: Integrate AI Video Generation Into Your App

What is Golpo API?

Golpo API lets you integrate AI video generation directly into your applications. Whether you're building an internal tool, a SaaS product, or automating content creation — Golpo's REST API and SDKs let you generate videos from text, documents, and more, all programmatically.

Watch this walkthrough to see it in action:

How to Get API Access

There are two ways to purchase Golpo API access:

1. Via a Regular Plan

Subscribe to the Enterprise plan and get your API key directly on the Golpo platform after logging in. Alternatively, if you're on the Business tier, you can add the API tier as an add-on.

2. Via the API-Only Tier

If you only need API access without the full platform, you can purchase the API-Only tier directly from the API Docs page. This is usage-based with a minimum $200 entry (200 credits). The pricing is simple: $1 = 1 credit, and a 1-minute video costs 2 credits — so 200 credits gets you approximately 100 minutes of generated video.

Authentication

All API requests require an API key passed via the x-api-key header. Once you have your plan set up, grab your key from your dashboard and include it in every request.

Available Endpoints

Golpo API (v1) provides the following REST endpoints:

• POST /api/v1/videos/generate — Create a new video generation job
• POST /api/v1/videos/upload-file — Upload audio, video, or document files
• GET /api/v1/videos — Retrieve all your videos
• GET /api/v1/videos/{video_id} — Retrieve a specific video
• PATCH /api/v1/videos/{video_id} — Update video metadata (title, visibility)
• DELETE /api/v1/videos/{video_id} — Delete a video
• GET /api/v1/videos/status/{job_id} — Check the status of a generation job

The typical workflow is: call the generate endpoint, receive a job ID, then poll the status endpoint until your video is ready.

SDK Support

Golpo provides official SDKs so you don't have to work with raw HTTP requests:

Python SDK (v0.9.9) — Supports Python 3.8+, with both synchronous and async interfaces. Key methods include create_video() and combine_videos() for merging clips.

Node.js SDK (v0.1.9) — TypeScript and JavaScript support with a Promise-based interface. Use createVideo() to kick off generation.

What Can You Build With It?

The Golpo API opens up powerful possibilities for any platform that could benefit from automated video creation. Here are some real-world use cases:

Tutorial & E-Learning Platforms

If you run a tutorial or course platform, plug in the Golpo API to automatically turn your written lessons into video format. Students get video explanations alongside text — without you manually recording a single thing.

School & College Applications

Educational institutions can integrate Golpo into their existing student portals or LMS. Think auto-generated video summaries of lecture notes, multilingual explainers for international students, or video-based assignment feedback — all powered by API calls behind the scenes.

Automatic Video Newsletters

Turn your weekly or daily newsletter content into short video digests. Feed your newsletter text into the API and send subscribers a video version alongside the written one. Perfect for media companies, internal corporate comms, or creator-led newsletters.

PDF & Report Explainers

Got dense PDFs, financial reports, or research documents on your site? Use the Golpo API to auto-generate explainer videos on top of them. Upload the document, let the API create a visual walkthrough, and embed the video right next to the download link. Your users get a quick video summary before diving into the full report.

SaaS Product Add-Ons

If you're building a SaaS product — whether it's a CMS, a project management tool, or a knowledge base — offer video generation as a built-in feature for your users, all powered by Golpo behind the scenes.

Get Started

Head to the full API documentation to explore the endpoints, try them out, and grab your API key. Whether you choose the platform plan or the API-only tier, you can start generating videos in minutes.
