NemoVideo API

Build video workflows with NemoVideo from your coding agent, automation script, or product backend.

API Keys

Create an API key once, then connect Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, or your own tools.

Core Capabilities

01

Talk-to-Edit Video Agent

Edit by simply saying what should change: trim silence, remove filler words, add captions, swap pacing, or refine a scene. NemoVideo turns natural language into executable video edits.

URL-to-Video & Script Remix

Drop in a viral video URL or script. NemoVideo analyzes the hook, pacing, structure, and CTA, then helps create your own on-brand variation.

All-in-One Video Workflow

Plan, generate, edit, subtitle, add voice-over, sync music, and export from one agentic workflow for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, ads, or client delivery.

Quick Start

02

Install the skill in your AI coding tool and start chatting with the Nemo Agent within a minute.

Prerequisites

To use the NemoVideo API, you'll need:

1

Installation

Install the NemoVideo plugin in Claude Code with a single command:
claude install-plugin nemovideo/nemovideo-tools

Alternatively, you can install from the plugin repository URL:

Install plugin from the repo https://github.com/nemovideo/nemovideo-tools
2

Configuration

Set your API key as an environment variable so the plugin can authenticate with NemoVideo:
# Add to your shell profile (.bashrc, .zshrc, etc.)
export NEMOVIDEO_API_KEY="nmv_usr_your_api_key_here"

# Or set it for the current session
NEMOVIDEO_API_KEY="nmv_usr_your_api_key_here" claude

Usage Examples

03

Basic video generation

Generate a 5-second video of a golden retriever running on a beach at sunset, cinematic style

With reference image

Use this product photo as reference and create a professional commercial video showcasing the product with smooth camera movements

Add a title

Put a title "Golden Hour" at the beginning, white serif font.

Batch generation

Create 3 variations of a product demo video: one cinematic, one minimal, and one with energetic transitions. Each should be 10 seconds.

Best Practices

04
01

Use explicit prompts

Include duration, aspect ratio, style, and quality parameters explicitly for deterministic results.

02

Handle async tasks

Video generation is asynchronous. Codex will poll for results automatically, but set appropriate timeouts.

03

Manage API limits

Be mindful of rate limits in batch operations. The tool handles retries with exponential backoff.

04

Version your prompts

Store video generation prompts alongside your code for reproducibility and iteration.
