Why teams call Vidu Q3 (viduq3) through APIMart

• One key, entire catalog. The same https://api.apimart.ai/v1 base URL and Authorization header reach Vidu Q3 (viduq3) and 300+ other image, video and language models — switch the model field, not your client.
• Per-second billing. A job is charged for the seconds it actually generates at the resolution you picked.
• The charge comes back in the response. Every completed task reports the amount billed (cost / credits_cost); a task marked failed is refunded.
• Async by design. Submit, take the task_id, poll GET /v1/tasks/{id} — batching and retries are ordinary queue work, not a bespoke integration.

Vidu Q3 offers Pro for cinematic quality and Turbo for fast generation of text-to-video and image-to-video.
