Wan 2.6 runs through POST /v1/videos/generations. The request returns a job_id right away; poll GET /v1/jobs/{job_id} until the job completes and read the output URLs from the result. Get an API key from the EmpirioLabs dashboard.

| Parameter | Type | Default | Range / values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| prompt | string | - | - | Scene description. |
| mode | enum | auto | auto, t2v, i2v, r2v | t2v: text-to-video. i2v: animate the attached image. r2v: reference-to-video — generate from a reference image. |
| resolution | enum | 1080p | 720p, 1080p | Output resolution. Larger = higher fidelity but slower / more expensive. |
| duration | number | 5 | 5 to 15 | Clip length in seconds. |
| aspect_ratio | enum | 16:9 | 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4 | Output aspect ratio (1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:2, etc.). |
| shot_type | enum | multi | single, multi | single: one continuous shot. multi: multi-shot narrative. |
| image | string | - | - | Reference image URL. Required for i2v / r2v. |
| negative_prompt | string | - | - | What to avoid. |
| seed | number | - | - | Reproducibility seed. |
| audio | boolean | true | - | Generate native audio with the video. |
| flash_mode | boolean | false | - | Faster generation at reduced cost. Applies to i2v and r2v only. |
| prompt_extend | boolean | true | - | Let DashScope rewrite the prompt for better results. |
Generation can take 5+ minutes. Modes: t2v, i2v (image-to-video), r2v (reference-to-video). Flash Mode (i2v/r2v only) — faster generation at reduced cost.
On EmpirioLabs, Wan 2.6 is billed pay as you go: Standard 720P $0.09 (was $0.10) per second; Standard 1080P $0.138 (was $0.15) per second; Flash 720P (audio) $0.045 (was $0.050) per second. The live rate card on this page always matches what the API charges.
Wan 2.6 is served through POST /v1/videos/generations on api.empiriolabs.ai with standard bearer-token authentication.
Yes. The EmpirioLabs playground runs Wan 2.6 in the browser with the same parameters the API exposes, so you can test prompts before writing code.
