    Quick Start

    Paste and run the sample code below. The Gate.AI API is OpenAI-compatible—most SDKs only need a new base URL. To switch models, change the model ID.

    1

    Get your API key

    Sign in to the Gate.AI console and create a new key under "API Keys". Keep it safe and send it via the Authorization header on every request.

    Create a key in the console
    Environment variable
    export GATEAI_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"; export GATEAI_API_URL="https://api.gate.ai/api/v1/videos"
    2

    Make a request

    Send a POST request to the Chat Completions endpoint with a model ID and an array of messages to get a reply.

    POSThttps://api.gate.ai/api/v1/videos
    curl --location "https://api.gate.ai/api/v1/videos" --header "Authorization: Bearer {API_KEY}" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --header "Idempotency-Key: {IDEMPOTENCY_KEY}" --data '{"model":"kling-3.0","prompt":"A golden retriever running on a sunny beach, cinematic camera movement","duration":6,"resolution":"720p","aspect_ratio":"16:9","generate_audio":false,"seed":-1}'

    Handle the response & streaming

    By default a full JSON response is returned. Add "stream": true to the request body to receive incremental chunks over SSE.

    POSThttps://api.gate.ai/api/v1/videos
    JOB_ID=$(curl --silent --location "https://api.gate.ai/api/v1/videos" --header "Authorization: Bearer {API_KEY}" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --header "Idempotency-Key: {IDEMPOTENCY_KEY}" --data '{"model":"kling-3.0","prompt":"A golden retriever running on a sunny beach, cinematic camera movement","duration":6,"resolution":"720p"}' | jq -r '.data.job_id'); curl --location "https://api.gate.ai/api/v1/videos/${JOB_ID}" --header "Authorization: Bearer {API_KEY}"
