Call Video upscale from your code

One endpoint and one key, on the same balance as the playground. The request below is the example's own.

POSThttps://api.opennan.com/v1/videos/upscales

Get an API key
Create a key in the console. It uses the same balance as the playground.
Create a key

Send your first request

The same request the playground sends. Set OPENNAN_KEY to your key.

curl https://api.opennan.com/v1/videos/upscales \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENNAN_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"video_url":"https://cdn.opennan.com/examples/video-upscale/forest-480p-input-ccbd6a1b.mp4","resolution":"1080p"}'

# Then poll until "status" is "succeeded" or "failed":
curl https://api.opennan.com/v1/tasks/<task id> -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENNAN_KEY"

Poll the task
The call answers right away with a task id. Ask for the task until it finishes:
GEThttps://api.opennan.com/v1/tasks/{id}

Done: outputs[].url holds the files
failed
Failed: you are not charged

Errors and how to fix them

401Missing or wrong key
Send the header Authorization: Bearer with a key from the console.
402Balance too low
Add credit in Billing, then send the same call again.
400A value is not accepted
Read error.message: it names the field. Use a value from the parameter table.
429Too many requests
Wait a few seconds and try again, waiting longer after each 429.

Add Opennan to your AI app

One install gives your AI every Opennan tool: video, images, chat, voice, music, sound effects, 3D, captions and dubbing. Pick your app and follow the steps.

MCP serverhttps://api.opennan.com/v1/mcp

Works in the Codex CLI, the Codex app and the Codex IDE extension: they share ~/.codex/config.toml. If the app or IDE does not see OPENNAN_KEY, use the config.toml option with your key in it. Codex asks before each tool call: approve it to go on.

Get an API key
Create a key in the console. It starts with sk- and uses the same balance as the website.
Create a key

Save your key as OPENNAN_KEY

# macOS / Linux (zsh shown; bash: ~/.bashrc)
echo 'export OPENNAN_KEY="sk-..."' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

# Windows (PowerShell), then open a new terminal
setx OPENNAN_KEY "sk-..."

Install the Opennan plugin: the server plus a skill that teaches your AI to pick models, confirm prices and wait for results
```
codex plugin marketplace add Opennan/opennan-ai-plugin
codex plugin add opennan@opennan
```

Or add only the server

codex mcp add opennan --url https://api.opennan.com/v1/mcp --bearer-token-env-var OPENNAN_KEY

Or add this to ~/.codex/config.toml

[mcp_servers.opennan]
url = "https://api.opennan.com/v1/mcp"
http_headers = { Authorization = "Bearer sk-..." }

4
Check that opennan is listed
```
codex mcp list
```
Restart Codex, then ask for anything
“Make a 5 second video of rain on a neon street, a song to go with it and a poster image.”

Replace sk-... with your own key and keep it private: anyone who has it can spend your balance. Your app can list the tools before you add a key; making anything needs one.
