VAP Media API Skill

Generate images, video, and music through VAP Media API. Edit and enhance media with inpaint, AI edit, upscale, background removal, video trim, and video merge.

This skill is a Media API distribution surface for agent ecosystems such as ClawHub. Keep the agent workflow direct and useful: improve prompts, choose the matching VAP Media API endpoint, poll the task or operation, and return the final media URL.

Product Boundary

Use this skill for VAP Media API work only:

• image generation
• video generation
• music generation
• media editing and enhancement

Do not route coding-model requests through this skill. Coding agents and IDE model workflows use the separate VAP Coding Plan API with model ID vap-code.

Access

Use VAP_API_KEY as a Bearer token. This key is product-scoped to VAP Media API access.

If VAP_API_KEY is not set, ask the user to get a Media API key from Developer Hub: https://vapagent.com/developer/?key=media#keys
