# Use Grok Imagine Video 1.5 with Comfy Router

> Call xai/grok-imagine-video-1.5 through Comfy Router: endpoint, request shape and the response Router returns.

API Reference for `xai/grok-imagine-video-1.5`, served by Comfy Router from xAI.

## Quick start

Create a key in [your Comfy workspace](https://platform.comfy.org/profile/api-keys) and export it as `COMFY_API_KEY`. The Python and TypeScript snippets use the Comfy SDKs (`pip install comfy-sdk`, `npm install @comfyorg/sdk`); the cURL snippet is the same call over raw HTTP.

**Model ID:** `xai/grok-imagine-video-1.5`

**Endpoint:** `POST https://api.comfy.org/v2/models/xai/grok-imagine-video-1.5`

      ```python Python theme={null}
      from comfy_sdk import Comfy

      # Reads COMFY_API_KEY from the environment.
      # The SDK automatically creates an idempotency key and reuses it for automatic retries.
      with Comfy() as client:
          result = client.models.run(
              "xai/grok-imagine-video-1.5",
              {
                  "duration": 4,
                  "prompt": "a single red maple leaf falling onto still water, slow motion",
              },
          )

      print(result)
      ```

      ```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
      import { comfy } from "@comfyorg/sdk";

      // Reads COMFY_API_KEY from the environment.
      // The SDK automatically creates an idempotency key and reuses it for automatic retries.
      const { data } = await comfy.models.run("xai/grok-imagine-video-1.5", {
        duration: 4,
        prompt: "a single red maple leaf falling onto still water, slow motion",
      });

      console.log(data);
      ```

      ```bash cURL theme={null}

  <Tab title="Queue and collect later">
    <Note>
      Queued delivery is rolling out per workspace. Until yours is enabled, the submit route answers `403` with `X-Comfy-Error-Type: not_enabled`. Nothing about the request is wrong, and the same body works through the synchronous route in the meantime.
    </Note>

    The same body, sent to `POST https://api.comfy.org/v2/models/xai/grok-imagine-video-1.5/requests`. Router answers `201` with a `request_id` as soon as the run is admitted, and the result is collected once it is ready, from this process or another one. [Queued delivery](/development/comfy-router/queue) walks through status, cancellation and collection.

      ```python Python theme={null}
      from comfy_sdk import Comfy

      # Reads COMFY_API_KEY from the environment.
      # Each submit() call mints its own Idempotency-Key and reuses it for automatic retries.

## Schema

### Input

<ParamField body="aspect_ratio" type="string" default="&#x22;16:9&#x22;">
  Aspect ratio of the generated video

  Possible values: `1:1`, `16:9`, `9:16`, `4:3`, `3:4`, `3:2`, `2:3`
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="duration" type="integer" default="8">
  Video duration in seconds. Range \[1, 15]. Default 8.

  Range: `1` to `15`
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="image" type="object">
  Input image object for xAI endpoints
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="image.type" type="string">
  Type of the image input

  Possible values: `image_url`
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="image.url" type="string" required>
  URL of the input image (public URL or base64-encoded data URI)
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="model" type="string">
  Model to be used. Supported: grok-imagine-video (default), grok-imagine-video-1.5-preview, grok-imagine-video-1.5. The deprecated grok-imagine-video-beta id is aliased to grok-imagine-video.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="output" type="object">
  Optional output destination for generated video
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="prompt" type="string" required>
  Prompt for video generation. Maximum 4,096 characters.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="reference_images" type="object[]">
  One or more reference images to guide the video generation (reference-to-video mode). Mutually exclusive with image. Router forwards application/json only and neither this object nor XAIImageObject accepts a file\_id, so file-backed image inputs are not supported on this route.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="reference_images[].url" type="string" required>
  URL of the reference image. Supports HTTPS URLs (public) or base64-encoded data URLs (e.g., data:image/jpeg;base64,...).
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="resolution" type="string">
  Resolution of the output video
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="size" type="string">
  Size of the output video
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="user" type="string">
  A unique identifier representing your end-user
</ParamField>

Generated from the schema Router serves at `GET /v2/models/xai/grok-imagine-video-1.5/openapi.json`, the same document it validates a call against before the request reaches the provider.

### Output

<ResponseField name="block_reason" type="string">
  If the request was blocked by input moderation, contains the block reason
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="model" type="string">
  The model used to generate the video
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="status" type="string">
  Status of the deferred request: "pending" or "done"

  Possible values: `pending`, `done`
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="usage" type="object">
  Usage information for the video generation request
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="usage.cost_in_usd_ticks" type="integer">
  The cost of this request expressed in USD ticks. One USD cent equals 100,000,000 ticks, so one US dollar equals 10,000,000,000 ticks.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="video" type="object">
  A generated video from xAI
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="video.duration" type="integer">
  Duration of the generated video in seconds
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="video.respect_moderation" type="boolean">
  Whether the video generated by the model respects moderation rules
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="video.url" type="string">
  Download URL for the generated video. Router re-hosts the video onto Comfy storage and rewrites this field, so it is normally a Comfy-signed URL valid for up to 24 hours - signed for 24 hours when minted and replayed from a 23-hour memo, so a later poll can hand back one with as little as an hour left. When the re-host could not be performed the field keeps xAI's own short-lived URL instead. NULLABLE: a success whose `url` is empty is not a completed generation. Either way the link expires, so download the video rather than storing the URL.
</ResponseField>

## Examples

### Input

```json theme={null}
{
  "duration": 4,
  "prompt": "a single red maple leaf falling onto still water, slow motion"
}
```

### Output

```json theme={null}
{
  "model": "grok-imagine-video-1.5",
  "status": "done",
  "usage": {
    "cost_in_usd_ticks": 3500000000
  },
  "video": {
    "duration": 4,
    "respect_moderation": true,
    "url": "https://example.invalid/xai/grok-imagine-video/generated.mp4"
  }
}
```

## Before you ship

The SDKs create an `Idempotency-Key` and reuse it for automatic retries. For manual retries, reuse the original key. Router can hold the connection for up to 10 minutes.

When a request fails, Router sends an `X-Comfy-Error-Type` response header explaining why. A `422` means Router rejected the input before calling the provider. Download generated assets promptly because [result URLs can expire](/development/comfy-router/reference#result-assets).
