Tools 29 found in our last check

• create_video

  Create (enqueue) a new AI faceless video from a topic. Returns immediately with a video id and status "PENDING"; the render runs asynchronously — poll get_video every 20-30 seconds until status is "COMPLETED" (playable videoUrl) or "FAILED". Costs 40 credits with the default voi…

• get_video

  Get the status and details of one video the caller owns, by id. While rendering, status is PENDING/GENERATING_*/RENDERING and estimatedCompletionTime (seconds) is returned. When status is COMPLETED, a playable videoUrl and thumbnailUrl are returned; when FAILED, error says why,…

• list_videos

  List the caller's videos, newest first, with pagination. Optionally filter by status (one of the VideoStatus values in the schema). Returns id, title, status, videoUrl, thumbnailUrl and timestamps. Requires the "video:read" scope. Read-only, never charges credits.

• list_niches

  List the available content niches, art styles, video qualities and durations that create_video accepts. Use this to pick valid niche/artStyle values. Requires the "video:read" scope. Read-only, never charges credits.

• get_credit_balance

  Get the caller's current credit balance, monthly allocation and plan. Use this before create_video to confirm the account can afford a render (40 credits). Requires the "credits:read" scope (included by default in new keys); a key without it gets 403 INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE with a li…

• list_social_accounts

  List the connected publishing accounts (YouTube, TikTok) with username, whether they need reconnecting, the publish mode, the AI-disclosure handling and today's platform limits. Never returns tokens. For a platform that is not connected, call get_connection_status to get a conne…

• get_connection_status

  Is this platform connected? If yes, returns the account. If not, returns connectUrl: the page that opens the platform's consent screen. Give it to the user — that consent is the only human step, once per platform; they must be signed in to the same StoryShort account as this API…

• publish_video

  Publish one of the user's COMPLETED videos. YOUTUBE: uploads to the connected channel with your title/description and privacy (public, unlisted, private); the "altered or synthetic content" disclosure is always set; madeForKids is the user's COPPA answer (ask them for a kids aud…

• list_series

  List the user's series (autopilot channels), newest first, with schedule, auto-post flags, active/paused state, credits per video and an estimate per month. Paginated (page, limit). Requires the "video:read" scope. Free.

• create_series

  Create a series: StoryShort makes a video on this niche every scheduleIntervalDays, and can auto-post it to YouTube. The series NAME is the topic every video is written from, so put the user's own subject in it. Creating or changing a series is FREE. While active, the scheduler…

• update_series

  Change a series: how often it runs, YouTube auto-post, the madeForKids answer or the language. Only the fields you pass change. The name and niche cannot be changed (create a new series). Making an ACTIVE series run more often raises its spend, so it goes through the same credit…

• pause_series

  Pause a series: the scheduler stops making (and charging for) its videos until resume_series. Videos already made are untouched. Requires the "video:create" scope. Free.

• resume_series

  Resume a paused series. Refused with SERIES_NEEDS_CREDITS when the balance cannot pay the next video, and with SERIES_LIMIT_REACHED at 5 active series. Creating or changing a series is FREE. While active, the scheduler makes one video every scheduleIntervalDays (the first at its…

• get_series_performance

  How YOUR OWN posted YouTube Shorts performed, per series: videos posted/measured, total/median/mean views, top 3 and bottom 3 videos (with outlierScore = views / series median), and views gained in the last 7 days vs the 7 days before. Use it to decide what to make next. Only yo…

• draft_video

  Write a video's script and scenes WITHOUT rendering or charging, so the user can read and change it first. Returns draftId, the scenes (narration + visual prompt each) and the exact render price. Free, but it runs the script writer once: needs a balance that can pay for a render…

• get_draft

  Read a draft: its scenes (narration, visual prompt, length), whether the narration is long enough for the target duration, and the exact render price against the current balance. Free, read-only. Requires the "video:read" scope.

• update_draft

  Change a draft: its title and/or REPLACE all its scenes (1-12, each with scriptText and optional visualPrompt / durationSeconds). The narration you send is exactly what is spoken. To change one scene use revise_scene. Edits are screened like any prompt. Free; works only while th…

• revise_scene

  Change ONE scene of a draft in place: its narration (scriptText), its visualPrompt and/or its durationSeconds. Scene numbers start at 1 (see get_draft). Only the fields you pass change. Screened like any prompt. Free; draft only. Requires the "video:create" scope.

• render_draft

  Render an approved draft into the video. THIS IS THE ONLY STEP THAT COSTS CREDITS: the price is quote.credits from get_draft / draft_video, charged once after the render succeeds (a failed attempt costs nothing; StoryShort may retry a failed render automatically, up to 3 times,…

• cancel_video

  Cancel a video that has NOT started rendering: a draft, a video still queued (PENDING), or one whose failed render is waiting for an automatic retry. The video ends as FAILED "Cancelled" and is never rendered. Credits are charged only after a render succeeds, so normally nothing…

• quote_video

  The exact credit price of a video with AI motion clips BEFORE it is made, and whether this account may make it. Read-only: nothing is created, reserved or charged, and no prompt is checked. Returns baseCredits (the normal video), motionCredits (115 credits per motion scene, each…

• get_character_sheet

  Read the character sheets of one of your series: each sheet is a set of AI images of one fictional character, its images (id, view, url), which sheet and which image are chosen, how many sheets the series may still make (3 in total), and the exact price of a new sheet (23 credit…

• create_character_sheet

  Make a character sheet for one of your series: 4-6 AI images (default 5: front portrait, full body, side, expressions) of ONE fictional character, from a text description. CHARGES credits: 23 credits for 5 images of a person, 11 for an animal or mascot. ALWAYS call get_character…

• select_character_image

  Choose which character sheet a series uses and which of its images is the main one. The main image is the reference every still of an episode is made from. Only your own READY sheets and their images can be chosen. Free. Requires the "video:create" scope.

• quote_character_episode

  Price one PLANNED episode (12-60 seconds, 3-8 shots) of a series with a confirmed season plan, starring the character the plan names. FREE: it spends nothing and starts nothing. Returns the shot plan (narration, action, camera and seconds of every shot), the exact credits (up to…
