The Channel Farm API

Turn ideas into rendered faceless videos from your own code. Plain REST, JSON in and out, one token.

The whole product, over HTTPS

Scripts, brand profiles, voices, visual styles, characters, credits, and full renders. Everything the dashboard does, callable from any language.

Make it, then fix it

Generate a script, render it, and poll until the MP4 is ready. Then read the video back scene by scene: redraw one, add or upload one, retime the cuts, animate a still, or rewrite a line of narration, and export when it is right.

Same account, same credits

API renders spend the same credits as the dashboard and show up in My Videos. One personal access token works for both the API and the MCP server.

Check your account
curl https://api.channel.farm/v1/account \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer cf_live_..."
Render a video
curl -X POST https://api.channel.farm/v1/videos \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer cf_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "brand_profile_id": "<id>",
    "script_id": "<id>",
    "pacing": "dynamic"
  }'
