Wan 2.1 LoRA API

Introduction

Wan 2.1 LoRA Image to video animates one photo with up to three of your LoRA files loaded on Alibaba's open 14B video model.

Key features

Camera and effect LoRAs

Orbit, dolly and other effect LoRAs trained for Wan 2.1 image-to-video load by direct link. In our example an orbit LoRA swung the camera round behind the subject; without it, at the same seed, the camera stayed still.

Repeatable runs

The same seed and inputs gave a byte-identical clip in our test. That makes this endpoint the cleanest place to tune a LoRA: change one scale at a time and every difference you see comes from that change.

Wan 2.2 low-noise LoRAs

In our test the low-noise file of a Wan 2.2 image-to-video LoRA changed the clip in the same direction as its Wan 2.1 version, so many newer LoRAs are usable here too.

Request parameters

Pricing

Prices are in credits, the same credits you use on the website (1 credit = $0.01). The hold is taken when the task is accepted and settled to the actual charge when it finishes; failed tasks are refunded.

For an exact number before you run, send the same body to POST /jobs/quote.

Use cases

Moving portraits

Turn a still into a shot with a camera move you choose, from a slow push-in to a full orbit, while the face and the outfit stay those of your photo.

Fashion and product stills

An orbit LoRA shows an outfit or an object from every side, starting from one good photograph, which saves a second shoot.

Prompt guide & pro tips

Write the trigger phrase

Effect LoRAs usually need their trigger words, for example the orbit phrase their author lists. Put it in the sentence that describes the camera, as our orbit example does.

Ask for the change

The model stays close to the photo: clothing and setting in the photo tend to stay. Name the action and the change you want early in the prompt, one main action per clip.

Compare at the same seed

Run once with loras empty and once with your LoRA at the same seed; the clips are directly comparable here, so you see exactly what the LoRA does.

Use direct, public links

Use a public link that downloads the .safetensors file itself, such as a Hugging Face "resolve/main" link.

API quick start

Call the Wan 2.1 LoRA API in three steps

1. Create an API key. Sign in to PopNow and create a key in the API console. Keys start with sk-popnow- and use the same credits as the website.
2. Send the request. POST /jobs/createTask with model alibaba/wan-2.1-lora/image-to-video and an input object that follows the parameter table. The response returns a task ID straight away.
3. Get the result. Poll GET /jobs/recordInfo with the task ID, or pass a callBackUrl and we post the result to it. Download the output links when the task succeeds.

# 1. Create the task. Keep the Idempotency-Key if you retry after a network error.
export IDEMPOTENCY_KEY="$(uuidgen)"
curl -X POST https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/jobs/createTask \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $POPNOW_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $IDEMPOTENCY_KEY" \
  -d '{
  "model": "alibaba/wan-2.1-lora/image-to-video",
  "input": {
    "prompt": "A slow aerial shot drifting over a misty pine forest at sunrise",
    "image_url": "https://media.popnow.ai/influencer/examples/marco.webp",
    "resolution": "480p",
    "duration_seconds": 5
  }
}'

# 2. Copy data.taskId from the response, then poll until state is succeeded, failed, canceled or expired.
TASK_ID="TASK_ID_FROM_RESPONSE"
curl "https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/jobs/recordInfo?taskId=$TASK_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $POPNOW_API_KEY"

Replace the prompt and any links with your own. The API tab has the response, polling and callback reference.
