The Visla API is Here

If you create content for your business, you already know video is a must-have. It grabs attention, tells stories fast, and connects in ways plain text just can’t. But making great videos? That usually takes time, money, and more people than you have on your team. That’s why we’re so excited to introduce the Visla API.

It brings Visla’s powerful AI video creation tools directly into your own systems, apps, and workflows. That means you can automate video production, speed up your content pipeline, and make video part of anything you build.

What is the Visla API?

An API (short for Application Programming Interface) lets one software talk to another. In this case, the Visla API gives your app or backend system access to Visla’s video creation features without needing to use the Visla app directly.

Think of it like giving your product or platform its own built-in video creator. With a few lines of code, you can:

  • Turn a script into a professional-looking video
  • Transform a webpage into a visual story
  • Create custom content with branded visuals and synced voiceovers
  • And more

It’s video creation, but automated. And much faster.

What can you do with it?

Right now, Visla’s API supports two major creation types:

1. Script to Video: Pass in a written script, and the API builds a complete video. It handles visuals, transitions, subtitles, even voiceovers.

2. URL to Video: Send a webpage link, and Visla pulls the content, summarizes it, and turns it into a video you can publish anywhere.

Both methods use AI to do the heavy lifting. That means you get consistent, polished videos with little manual effort. More features are on the way, but even these two are already huge time-savers.

Who is the Visla API for?

Visla API is available for paid plan users only (Pro, Business, or Enterprise). It’s a great fit for teams and organizations that need to move fast and scale smart:

  • Startups and SaaS platforms can embed video creation directly into their product experience. Instead of sending users to an external tool, they can generate videos behind the scenes whenever a user hits publish or completes a form. It makes their platform more dynamic without adding development overhead.
  • Marketing teams often need to produce high volumes of content across social, email, blogs, and more. With the API, they can generate tailored videos for campaigns automatically, using scripts or links as input. It saves time and keeps their messaging consistent, even across dozens of assets.
  • L&D and HR teams can standardize internal content by turning training documents, process guides, or onboarding scripts into consistent videos in minutes. The API allows them to integrate video generation into their LMS or intranet, ensuring every employee gets the same high-quality training.
  • Agencies juggling multiple clients can batch-create videos at scale, using the API to automate production based on approved scripts or content links. It means faster delivery, lower costs, and the ability to offer video as a scalable service.

Basically, if your team needs video at scale and you want to automate the busywork, the Visla API is built for you.

How to get started with the Visla API

Getting access to the API is quick and easy:

1. Create a Visla account and choose a paid plan (Pro, Business, or Enterprise)

The VIsla plans: Free, Pro, Business, and Enterprise.

2. Head to Workspace Settings in the app

3. Click the blue button labeled Generate API Key

Once you have your key, your developers can use our documentation to start integrating right away.

Why this matters

Let’s be honest. Manual video production is slow. It eats up time and resources you could use to build, create, or sell. The Visla API changes that.

Now you can go from idea to impact in minutes, not hours. With AI handling voiceovers, scenes, and edits, your team can focus on higher-level strategy.

Best of all? You still get videos that look great and match your brand.

Why use the API instead of the Visla platform?

Great question. Visla’s platform is perfect for teams who want full control, collaboration, and editing features. But what if you want to scale? What if you want to create hundreds of videos a day automatically?

That’s where the API shines.

Let’s say you run a marketing platform and want to give your users video summaries of their blog posts. Instead of making them copy-paste into Visla, you can integrate our API directly. When they publish a post, boom—your system automatically generates a video.

Or maybe you’re building an internal training tool. You could use the API to convert lesson plans or process docs into onboarding videos, instantly. No video team needed.

By plugging Visla into your system, you keep your users in your flow while adding powerful video creation behind the scenes.
