API README

FlashVSR

Upscale an existing video to 720p, 1080p, 2K, or 4K with FlashVSR's fast video super-resolution, which restores detail while keeping motion stable.

Fields

Billing

You pay per second of output video: $0.014 at 720p, $0.031 at 1080p, $0.055 at 2K, and $0.124 at 4K. The quote before submission assumes 5 seconds; the final charge uses the measured length.

Questions

FAQ

How do I call Alibaba FlashVSR through SandBase?

Create a SandBase API key, then send requests with the model ID "alibaba/flashvsr" to Unified Run API (/v1/run) at https://api.sandbase.ai. The request examples on this page show the exact payload.

Do I need a separate Alibaba account?

No. One SandBase API key and balance gives you access to Alibaba FlashVSR and the other models in the catalog; you do not need to sign up with Alibaba separately.
