Textideo + CreativeAPIShip Your Video Backend This Weekend
You're building scripts-to-video. We handle the video generation infrastructure. Skip Redis queues, model integrations, and storage. Plug in CreativeAPI and focus on your product.
What You're Probably Building
The Hard Way (DIY)
- - Redis/Bull queues for async job management
- - S3 or cloud storage for video outputs
- - Individual API integrations (Kling, Runway, etc.)
- - Custom failover logic when providers fail
- - Webhook delivery with retry logic
- - Usage tracking for billing
2-4 months of infrastructure work
With CreativeAPI
- - Single API key, multi-model access
- - Async processing built-in
- - Webhook delivery (3x retry + HMAC)
- - Automatic failover across providers
- - CDN-hosted outputs (24-hour access)
- - Pay-per-use pricing (no subscriptions)

How It Works
// Your scripts-to-video pipeline with CreativeAPI
import CreativeAI from '@creativeai/node-sdk';
const client = new CreativeAI({ apiKey: process.env.CREATIVEAI_API_KEY });
// Generate video from script
async function generateScene(script, style) {
const prompt = "Scene: " + script.scene +
" Action: " + script.action +
" Mood: " + script.mood;
const video = await client.videos.generate({
model: 'auto', // Multi-model failover
prompt,
duration: 5,
aspect_ratio: '16:9',
webhook_url: process.env.WEBHOOK_URL + '/video-complete'
});
return video.id; // Async processing
}
// Webhook handler receives completion
app.post('/webhook/video-complete', (req, res) => {
const { id, output_url, prompt } = req.body;
// Stitch scenes, add audio, deliver
assembleVideo(id, output_url);
