openai-agents-videogen

Official OpenAI Agents SDK tools for the VideoGen API. Give any OpenAI Agents SDK agent the ability to turn a script into a finished narrated video, plus generate standalone images, video clips, voiceovers, sound effects, music, and talking-head avatars.

Every tool wraps the official videogen SDK and runs as the team that owns your API key.

Install

pip install openai-agents-videogen

Setup

Get an API key from app.videogen.io/api and set it as VIDEOGEN_API_KEY:

export VIDEOGEN_API_KEY="your_api_key"

Usage

import asyncio

from agents import Agent, Runner
from openai_agents_videogen import create_videogen_tools

agent = Agent(
    name="Video Producer",
    instructions="You produce short narrated videos with VideoGen when asked.",
    tools=create_videogen_tools(),
)


async def main() -> None:
    result = await Runner.run(
        agent,
        "Make a short narrated video explaining why staying hydrated matters.",
    )
    print(result.final_output)


asyncio.run(main())

By default each tool blocks until the workflow or tool execution finishes and returns the completed result.

Options

from videogen import VideoGen
from openai_agents_videogen import create_videogen_tools

tools = create_videogen_tools(
    # Provide a pre-configured client, or pass api_key / base_url, or rely on env.
    client=VideoGen(api_key="your_api_key"),

    # Return the run/execution id immediately instead of waiting.
    wait=False,

    # Only expose a subset of tools to the agent.
    include=["script_to_video", "generate_image", "text_to_speech"],
)

Account and permissions

Generation and editing use VideoGen account credits. Obtain user approval before credit-consuming calls, and restrict the include list for agents that only need read access. Keep API keys in environment variables and out of shared transcripts.
