Wan 2.6 I2V

alibaba/wan2.6-i2v — a video model by Alibaba. Call it through the gateway’s standard OpenAI-compatible door using the catalog slug; the full parameter schema is reproduced in full below.


Catalog slug	`alibaba/wan2.6-i2v`
Kind	`video`
Vendor	Alibaba
Native model id	`wan2.6-i2v`

How to call

Through the Sociaro SDK / OpenAI-compatible door

Video generation is asynchronous (create → poll → result). The SDK’s video.generate drives the whole cycle and blocks until the job reaches a terminal state:

from sociaro_ai import Sociaro

client = Sociaro(api_key="gw_live_...")

result = client.video.generate(
    model="alibaba/wan2.6-i2v",
    prompt="a timelapse of a blooming flower",
    # resolution / duration / audio … — see the schema below
)
print(result.url)

For a non-blocking handle use job = client.video.submit(model="alibaba/wan2.6-i2v", …) then job.result(). Raw door: POST https://api.sociaro.com/v1/videos (create), then poll — see async jobs and media doors.

Through Alibaba DashScope’s native API (advanced)

Optional: send Alibaba DashScope’s native request to the /alibaba prefix, using the native model id wan2.6-i2v. The gateway injects the upstream Alibaba DashScope credential and forwards the body unchanged (catalog, pricing and entitlements still apply).

curl https://api.sociaro.com/alibaba/<native-path> \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SOCIARO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "model": "wan2.6-i2v", ... }'

The exact path, request body and response shape are documented in full in the schema below.

Parameters — full schema

The complete, one-to-one API schema for this model, transcribed from the official source. Nothing omitted. Examples in the schema may use a representative model of the family — for this model use the slug alibaba/wan2.6-i2v (or the native id wan2.6-i2v for the native API) as shown in How to call above.

Slug naming: the gateway slug is wan2.7-videoedit (no hyphen between video & edit), matching the DashScope model id wan2.7-videoedit. The HappyHorse edit slug is happyhorse-1.0-video-edit (hyphenated). These conventions differ and are not normalized.

The wan2.7-i2v model id appears in dated form wan2.7-i2v-2026-04-25 in examples; the un-dated wan2.7-i2v alias is also accepted.

CRITICAL PER-MODEL / PER-SUB-FAMILY DIFFERENCES (do not mix parameter sets)

TWO endpoints, NOT one. Most families post to POST .../api/v1/services/aigc/video-generation/video-synthesis, but the animate family (wan2.2-animate-move, wan2.2-animate-mix) AND the keyframe family (wan2.2-kf2v-flash, wan2.1-kf2v-plus) post to a DIFFERENT path: POST .../api/v1/services/aigc/image2video/video-synthesis. All poll via the SAME GET .../api/v1/tasks/{task_id}.
THREE request-body styles under input:
- media[] array (NEW protocol): wan2.7-i2v, wan2.7-r2v, wan2.7-videoedit, all 4 HappyHorse models. Each element { "type": ..., "url": ... } (+ optional reference_voice on wan2.7-r2v).
- flat scalar URLs (LEGACY i2v): wan2.6-i2v / wan2.6-i2v-flash use input.img_url (+ audio_url).
- flat scalar URLs (animate / kf2v): input.image_url+input.video_url (animate) or input.first_frame_url+input.last_frame_url (kf2v).
- prompt-only input (t2v): wan2.7-t2v, wan2.6-t2v, happyhorse-1.0-t2v (+ optional audio_url).
parameters.size (legacy) vs parameters.resolution+ratio (new).
- LEGACY t2v (wan2.6/2.5/2.2/2.1) and LEGACY i2v use size = explicit width*height string (e.g. 1280*720).
- NEW t2v (wan2.7), i2v, r2v, videoedit, and ALL HappyHorse use resolution (tier 720P/1080P/480P) + ratio (where applicable).
- kf2v uses resolution (tier). animate uses neither (output follows input; only mode).
resolution allowed tiers & defaults differ:
- wan2.7-t2v / wan2.7-i2v / wan2.7-r2v / wan2.7-videoedit: 720P, 1080P — default 1080P (i2v/r2v/videoedit) / default 1080P (t2v).
- wan2.6-i2v / wan2.6-i2v-flash: 720P, 1080P — default 1080P.
- wan2.6-t2v (size-based): all 720p & 1080p resolutions; default 1920*1080.
- wan2.6-r2v / wan2.6-r2v-flash: 720P, 1080P.
- wan2.2-kf2v-flash: 480P, 720P, 1080P — default 720P; wan2.1-kf2v-plus: 720P only.
- happyhorse-1.0-t2v / -i2v / -r2v / -video-edit: 720P, 1080P — default 1080P.
- animate-move / animate-mix: NO resolution param (mode wan-std/wan-pro controls quality tier).
ratio parameter presence & enum:
- wan2.7-t2v / wan2.7-r2v / wan2.7-videoedit: 16:9(default), 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4 (5 values).
- wan2.7-i2v: NO ratio (output aspect follows the input first_frame / first_clip).
- happyhorse-1.0-t2v / -r2v: EXTENDED enum 16:9(default), 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 4:5, 5:4, 9:21, 21:9 (9 values).
- happyhorse-1.0-i2v: NO ratio (follows input image).
- r2v ratio is ignored if a first_frame is provided (wan2.7-r2v) — output then follows the first frame.
duration range / fixed-value differs:
- wan2.7-t2v / wan2.7-i2v: integer 2–15, default 5.
- wan2.7-r2v: default 5; 2–10 if reference material includes a video, 2–15 if not.
- wan2.7-videoedit: integer 2–10, default 0 (= keep input duration; nonzero truncates from 0s).
- wan2.6-t2v: integer 2–15, default 5. (wan2.5-t2v-preview 5/10; wan2.2/2.1-t2v fixed 5.)
- wan2.6-i2v / wan2.6-i2v-flash: integer 2–15, default 5. (wan2.6-i2v-us: 5/10/15; wan2.5-i2v 5/10; wan2.2-i2v fixed 5; wan2.1-i2v-turbo 3/4/5.)
- wan2.6-r2v / -flash: integer 2–10.
- wan2.2-kf2v-flash / wan2.1-kf2v-plus: fixed 5 (no other value).
- happyhorse-1.0-t2v / -i2v / -r2v: integer 3–15, default 5. happyhorse-1.0-video-edit: no duration param (output 3–15, follows input; >15s input truncated to first 15s).
- animate-move / animate-mix: no duration param (output follows reference video duration).
AUDIO support (input audio_url / driving_audio AND audio output):
- wan2.7-t2v: optional input.audio_url (drives lip-sync/timing); without it the model auto-generates BGM/SFX. Audio: WAV/MP3, 2–30s, ≤15 MB.
- wan2.6-t2v / wan2.5-t2v: optional input.audio_url (wan2.6/2.5 only). wan2.2/2.1-t2v are SILENT by default (no audio).
- wan2.7-i2v: optional driving_audio media element (2–30s, ≤15 MB).
- wan2.6-i2v / wan2.5-i2v: optional input.audio_url (3–30s, ≤15 MB). wan2.6-i2v-flash adds parameters.audio (bool, default true) to force silent output.
- wan2.7-r2v: per-entity reference_voice (1–10s, ≤15 MB) on each media element.
- wan2.6-r2v: video with audio. wan2.6-r2v-flash: video with audio or silent video.
- videoedit (wan2.7 & happyhorse): parameters.audio_setting = auto(default) | origin (keep input video audio).
- HappyHorse t2v / i2v / r2v: NO audio input/output param documented (silent video unless future).
- animate-move / animate-mix / kf2v: NO audio param.
prompt requiredness & length differ:
- Required: wan2.7-t2v, wan2.6-t2v, wan2.7-r2v, wan2.7-videoedit, happyhorse-1.0-t2v, happyhorse-1.0-r2v, happyhorse-1.0-video-edit, kf2v.
- Optional: wan2.7-i2v, wan2.6-i2v (legacy), happyhorse-1.0-i2v.
- Length: wan2.7 t2v/i2v/r2v/videoedit = up to 5,000 chars. wan2.6/2.5 = 1,500 chars. wan2.2/2.1 = 800 chars. HappyHorse = 5,000 non-Chinese / 2,500 Chinese chars (any language).
- No prompt at all: animate-move / animate-mix (no prompt field).
prompt_extend presence: present (default true) on wan2.7 t2v/i2v/r2v/videoedit, wan2.6 t2v/i2v, kf2v. ABSENT on HappyHorse (all 4), animate-move, animate-mix.
watermark default differs: false (default) on ALL Wan models (text “AI Generated”; animate text “Generated by Qwen AI” on move-API, “AI Generated” on mix-API). true (default) on ALL HappyHorse models (text “HappyHorse” / “Happy Horse”). watermark is in parameters for media-style families but in input for animate-move/animate-mix.
seed is universal across every page: integer [0, 2147483647], optional, random if omitted; same seed yields only similar (not identical) output. (Not present on animate-move/animate-mix.)
shot_type (single/multi, default single) is wan2.6-series ONLY (wan2.6-t2v, wan2.6-i2v). Effective only when prompt_extend=true; shot_type overrides prompt-stated shot count. Absent everywhere else (wan2.7 controls shots via natural-language prompt; its shot_type “has no effect”).
animate-only parameters: mode (REQUIRED; wan-std | wan-pro) + check_image (bool, default true). These are the ONLY two animate parameters. parameters object is REQUIRED for animate (because mode is required).
Response output shape differs between the two endpoints:
- video-generation endpoint (t2v/i2v/r2v/videoedit/kf2v/happyhorse): output.video_url is a top-level field under output.
- image2video endpoint (animate-move/animate-mix): output.results.video_url is nested under results.
usage object differs by family:
- NEW media-style (wan2.7 + happyhorse t2v/i2v/r2v/videoedit): { duration, input_video_duration, output_video_duration, video_count, SR } (+ ratio for t2v/r2v). duration = total billed seconds = input+output. videoedit returns floats.
- LEGACY t2v: wan2.6 → { duration, size, input_video_duration, output_video_duration, video_count, SR }; wan2.5-and-earlier → { video_duration, video_ratio, video_count }.
- LEGACY i2v: { input_video_duration, output_video_duration, duration, SR, video_count }.
- kf2v: { video_duration (fixed 5), video_count, SR (2.2 only) / video_ratio (2.1 only, ="standard") }.
- animate-move / animate-mix: { video_duration (float), video_ratio } where video_ratio = service mode (standard for wan-std, pro for wan-pro).
Regions / endpoints (per-region API keys; cross-region calls FAIL):
- Singapore (recommended, workspace domain): https://{WorkspaceId}.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com (legacy https://dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com deprecating).
- Beijing: https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com.
- US (Virginia): https://dashscope-us.aliyuncs.com — legacy t2v/i2v (wan2.6-*-us), HappyHorse t2v/i2v/r2v/edit.
- Germany (Frankfurt): https://{WorkspaceId}.eu-central-1.maas.aliyuncs.com — legacy t2v/i2v (async-only), HappyHorse.
- Region availability is per-model — animate / kf2v / new-protocol pages list only Singapore + Beijing; HappyHorse & legacy t2v/i2v add Virginia + Frankfurt.
wan2.6-t2v-flash does NOT exist (no t2v-flash slug in catalog). -flash variants exist for i2v (wan2.6-i2v-flash) and r2v (wan2.6-r2v-flash) only in the wan2.6 series; kf2v has wan2.2-kf2v-flash.

SUB-FAMILY 2 — IMAGE-TO-VIDEO (i2v)

Slugs: wan2.7-i2v (NEW, media[]), wan2.6-i2v & wan2.6-i2v-flash (LEGACY, flat img_url), happyhorse-1.0-i2v (NEW, media[] first_frame only). Endpoint: video-generation/video-synthesis.

2a. wan2.7-i2v — request body (NEW, media[])

wan2.7-i2v performs THREE tasks via media[] combinations:

first-frame-to-video: first_frame (± driving_audio)
first-and-last-frame: first_frame + last_frame (± driving_audio)
video continuation: first_clip (± last_frame)

{
  "model": "wan2.7-i2v",                 // REQUIRED (dated: wan2.7-i2v-2026-04-25)
  "input": {                              // REQUIRED
    "prompt": "...",                      // OPTIONAL, ≤5000 chars
    "negative_prompt": "...",            // optional, ≤500 chars
    "media": [                            // REQUIRED; each {type,url}; each type at most once
      { "type": "first_frame",   "url": "https://.../a.png" },
      { "type": "driving_audio", "url": "https://.../a.mp3" }
    ]
  },
  "parameters": {                         // optional
    "resolution": "1080P",               // optional; 720P | 1080P; default 1080P
    "duration": 5,                       // optional; integer 2–15; default 5
    "prompt_extend": true,               // optional; default true
    "watermark": false,                  // optional; default false
    "seed": 12345                        // optional
  }

NO ratio — output aspect ratio follows the input first_frame / first_clip (may drift to nearest multiple-of-16 size).
media type enum: first_frame, last_frame, driving_audio, first_clip.
Valid combinations ONLY: first_frame | first_frame+driving_audio | first_frame+last_frame | first_frame+last_frame+driving_audio | first_clip | first_clip+last_frame.
Image (first_frame/last_frame): JPEG/JPG/PNG(no alpha)/BMP/WEBP, side 240–8000 px, aspect 1:8–8:1, ≤20 MB. URL or Base64 data:{MIME};base64,{data}.

3b. wan2.6-r2v / wan2.6-r2v-flash

Capability: wan2.6-r2v generates video with audio, with single-role / multi-role generation, multi-shot narrative, and audio-video synchronization. wan2.6-r2v-flash additionally supports silent video and is faster and more cost-effective.
Input modality: text, image, video. Resolution: 720P, 1080P. Duration: integer [2s, 10s]. 30 fps. Output: MP4 (H.264).
Endpoint: video-generation/video-synthesis (same async create/poll flow as the other reference-to-video models).
Alibaba Cloud does not publish a dedicated request-parameter reference for these two models; the per-field request contract is therefore not enumerated here. Use the Video generation overview for the capability matrix above. (The wan-video-to-video-api-reference page documents the request parameters for wan2.7-r2v only.)

BILLING

All video families: billed on output video duration in seconds (per-second pricing), resolution-dependent unit price (1080P > 720P > 480P).
r2v / video continuation / video-edit: duration (= input + output) is the billed amount.
animate: mode (wan-pro > wan-std price). i2v-flash audio=false ⇒ silent-video price.
