API overview

The Tellers API lets you integrate video creation, assets, and workflows into your applications. Use it to manage sources, trigger exports, and build custom pipelines.

What you can do

  • Manage sources and files — List and organize files in your sources.
  • Work with assets — Upload, complete multipart uploads, and manage media assets.
  • Control exports — Trigger and monitor export jobs.
  • Authenticate — Use API keys or OAuth to secure your requests.

Creating your API token

To use the API or the CLI, you need an API key. Create one from the app:

  1. Go to app.tellers.ai.
  2. Click your user menu (top right).
  3. Open API keys.
  4. Click Create new and copy your key.

Credits

You need credits on your account before using the API or CLI. All actions made through the API or CLI using your API token consume credits based on the requests (uploads, exports, etc.). Purchase credits on app.tellers.ai. New users who sign in with Google SSO receive a small amount of free credits to get started.

Getting started
