GPU Studio API Overview

WAYSCloud GPU Studio provides GPU-accelerated cloud platform for AI-powered content generation including video generation, text-to-speech, audio transcription, and image generation.

What is GPU Studio?

GPU Studio is a managed GPU computing platform that allows you to generate AI-powered content without managing infrastructure. Submit jobs via API and receive webhook notifications when processing is complete.

Use Cases

Video Generation

• Text-to-video: Generate videos from text prompts
• Image-to-video: Animate static images
• Marketing and social media content
• Educational videos

Text-to-Speech

• Multi-language voice synthesis
• Audiobook production
• Voice-overs for videos
• Interactive voice response systems

Audio Transcription

• Meeting and podcast transcription
• Video subtitles generation
• Multi-language transcription

Image Generation

• Product visualization
• Marketing materials
• Concept art
• Social media graphics

Base URL

https://api.wayscloud.services/v1/gpu

All GPU Studio API endpoints are prefixed with /v1/gpu.

Authentication

All requests require a valid API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer wayscloud_gpu_prod_YOUR_API_KEY

See Authentication for detailed information about API keys.

Obtaining an API Key

1. Log in to WAYSCloud Console at https://my.wayscloud.services
2. Navigate to API Keys section
3. Click Create New Key
4. Select GPU Studio as the service
5. Copy your API key (starts with wayscloud_gpu_prod_)
6. Store the key securely

Security

Never commit API keys to version control. Rotate keys every 90 days and use different keys for development and production.

Job-Based Architecture

GPU Studio uses an asynchronous job-based architecture:

1. Submit Job - Create a job with your request
2. Receive Job ID - Get immediate response with job ID and status URL
3. Processing - Job is queued and processed on GPU infrastructure
4. Webhook Notification - Receive webhook when job completes (optional)
5. Retrieve Results - Download generated content via provided URLs

Why Asynchronous?

GPU tasks can take from seconds to minutes depending on complexity:

Task	Typical Duration
Video generation	30 seconds to 5 minutes
Text-to-speech	1-10 seconds
Audio transcription	10-60 seconds
Image generation	5-30 seconds

Asynchronous processing allows you to submit multiple jobs and handle results as they complete.

Job Statuses

Jobs progress through the following statuses:

Status	Description
queued	Job accepted and waiting in queue
processing	Job is being processed on GPU
completed	Job finished successfully
failed	Job failed (see error message)
cancelled	Job was cancelled by user

Webhook Notifications

Receive automatic notifications when jobs complete:

{
  "job_type": "video_generation",
  "parameters": {
    "prompt": "Mountain landscape",
    "webhook_url": "https://your-app.com/webhooks/gpu"
  }
}

Webhook Payload:

{
  "event": "job.completed",
  "job_id": "job_abc123",
  "status": "completed",
  "result": {
    "video_url": "https://storage.wayscloud.services/results/output.mp4"
  },
  "timestamp": "2025-11-03T18:02:28Z"
}

Webhook verification details are covered in the implementation guide.
