SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Creating video content programmatically requires managing API authentication, choosing the right generation mode, and handling asynchronous polling. This Skill guides an AI agent through the entire Happy Horse video generation workflow on the Pixazo gateway so users get finished videos from a single natural-language request. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multiple generation modes: Supports text-to-video, image-to-video, reference-to-video, and video-to-video editing across Happy Horse 1.0 and 1.1 endpoints. - Managed authentication: Walks the agent through obtaining a Pixazo API key once and storing it at ~/.pixazo/api-key for reuse. - Async polling and error handling: Includes a polling loop for task completion plus user-friendly handling of 401, 402, 429, and 5xx responses. - Use Case: Ask your coding agent to "create a short clip of a cardboard train running through a tiny city at night" and it submits the request, polls until ready, and returns the video URL. ## Quick Start Ask your agent to generate a video from a text prompt using Happy Horse, and paste your Pixazo API key when prompted.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a video from a text prompt with Happy Horse?▼

Send a POST request to https://gateway.pixazo.ai/happy-horse-1-1/v1/text-to-video with your Pixazo API key in the Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key header and a JSON body containing your prompt. The response returns a task_id that you poll until the video URL is ready.

What video generation modes does the Happy Horse API support?▼

Happy Horse supports text-to-video, image-to-video, and reference-to-video on both versions 1.0 and 1.1, plus video-to-video editing on version 1.0. Each mode maps to a distinct endpoint on the Pixazo gateway.

Where do I get a Pixazo API key for video generation?▼

Sign in at https://api-console.pixazo.ai/api_keys, click "Create new key", and copy it. The skill saves the key to ~/.pixazo/api-key so you only provide it once, or you can set the PIXAZO_API_KEY environment variable.

Why is my Happy Horse video request returning a 401 or 402 error?▼

A 401 means the API key is missing or invalid, so generate a fresh key at the Pixazo console. A 402 means your account is out of credits, which you can top up at https://api-console.pixazo.ai/dashboard.

How long does Happy Horse video generation take?▼

Generation is asynchronous: the initial request returns a task_id immediately, and you poll the result endpoint every 5-10 seconds. The skill recommends a total polling cap of about 10 minutes for video tasks.
