The direct route to a Skywork video API is the official SkyReels developer platform. SkyReels V4 supports text, image, video, and audio inputs for video generation and editing. Modellix no longer offers Skywork routes. Its former Skywork provider page redirects to the model catalog, and the old skywork/skyreels-t2v schema returns 404. An existing Modellix request to that route needs a different provider, not a new Modellix model ID.

Skywork and SkyReels video API access options

Use the official SkyReels API for SkyReels V4

The SkyReels API platform lists V4 text-to-video, image-to-video, Omni reference video, extension, restyling, and talking-avatar workflows. For a new integration:

  1. Sign in to SkyReels and create a secret key under Account → API Keys. Keep the key on your server.
  2. Choose the workflow and read its current request fields in the official API documentation. The documented base host is https://api-gateway.skyreels.ai/.
  3. Check the developer pricing page for the selected model, mode, resolution, and input type before estimating cost. The API uses credits, so a credit-per-second figure is not a dollar rate until you apply your purchased credit-pack price.
  4. Submit a small job and inspect the returned task and output using the official documentation. The former Modellix payload and polling URL are not a drop-in contract for SkyReels.

The SkyReels creative studio and the developer API have different billing surfaces. A studio subscription does not establish the cost of an API job. If you are comparing SkyReels V4 with another provider, price the same clip duration, resolution, audio setting, and input type on both.

What can replace a Skywork route on Modellix?

If the requirement is SkyReels itself, use SkyReels' official API. If the requirement is the workflow and you want to keep a Modellix integration, these model routes had live schema pages on September 24, 2026:

Previous job Live Modellix route to evaluate Key difference
Text-to-video generation kling/kling-v3-t2v Kling's prompt, audio, duration, and resolution fields follow its own schema.
Image-to-video generation kling/kling-v3-i2v Requires an image input; check first and last frame support in the schema.
Lip-sync on existing footage pixverse/lipsync Starts with a video and a voice source; it does not create a scene from a still.
Talking avatar from a portrait kling/kling-avatar Uses a portrait and audio, with different duration and media limits.

These are functional alternatives, not SkyReels versions. Open each model's Schema before migrating a request, then test output quality and cost with your own inputs. The Kling API guide covers the current V3 and O1 routes in more detail.
