Extend video with audio using LTX-2.3

Table of contents

1. Calling the API

Install the client

The client provides a convenient way to interact with the model API.

npm install --save @fal-ai/client

Setup your API Key

Set FAL_KEY as an environment variable in your runtime.

export FAL_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Submit a request

The client API handles the API submit protocol. It will handle the request status updates and return the result when the request is completed.

import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

const result = await fal.subscribe("fal-ai/ltx-2.3-22b/extend-video", {
  input: {
    prompt: "Continue the scene naturally, maintaining the same style and motion.",
    video_url: "https://v3b.fal.media/files/b/0a8824b1/sdm0KfmenrlywesfzY1Y1_if6euPp1.mp4"
  },
  logs: true,
  onQueueUpdate: (update) => {
    if (update.status === "IN_PROGRESS") {
      update.logs.map((log) => log.message).forEach(console.log);
    }
  },
});
console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);

2. Authentication

The API uses an API Key for authentication. It is recommended you set the FAL_KEY environment variable in your runtime when possible.

API Key

In case your app is running in an environment where you cannot set environment variables, you can set the API Key manually as a client configuration.

import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

fal.config({
  credentials: "YOUR_FAL_KEY"
});

Protect your API Key

When running code on the client-side (e.g. in a browser, mobile app or GUI applications), make sure to not expose your FAL_KEY. Instead, use a server-side proxy to make requests to the API.

3. Queue

Submit a request

The client API provides a convenient way to submit requests to the model.

import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

const { request_id } = await fal.queue.submit("fal-ai/ltx-2.3-22b/extend-video", {
  input: {
    prompt: "Continue the scene naturally, maintaining the same style and motion.",
    video_url: "https://v3b.fal.media/files/b/0a8824b1/sdm0KfmenrlywesfzY1Y1_if6euPp1.mp4"
  },
  webhookUrl: "https://optional.webhook.url/for/results",
});

Fetch request status

You can fetch the status of a request to check if it is completed or still in progress.

import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

const status = await fal.queue.status("fal-ai/ltx-2.3-22b/extend-video", {
  requestId: "764cabcf-b745-4b3e-ae38-1200304cf45b",
  logs: true,
});

Get the result

Once the request is completed, you can fetch the result.

import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

const result = await fal.queue.result("fal-ai/ltx-2.3-22b/extend-video", {
  requestId: "764cabcf-b745-4b3e-ae38-1200304cf45b"
});
console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);

4. Files

Some attributes in the API accept file URLs as input. Whenever that's the case you can pass your own URL or a Base64 data URI.

Data URI (base64)

You can pass a Base64 data URI as a file input. The API will handle the file decoding for you. Keep in mind that for large files, this alternative although convenient can impact the request performance.

Hosted files (URL)

You can also pass your own URLs as long as they are publicly accessible. Be aware that some hosts might block cross-site requests, rate-limit, or consider the request as a bot.

Uploading files

We provide a convenient file storage that allows you to upload files and use them in your requests.

import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

const file = new File(["Hello, World!"], "hello.txt", { type: "text/plain" });
const url = await fal.storage.upload(file);
