Google Flow API examples (useapi.net)
Runnable Node.js and Python examples for the Google Flow API by useapi.net — generate Veo 3.1 Fast, Quality and Lite video, Omni 1.1 Flash audio-native video, and Nano Banana Pro, 2.1 and 2 Lite images through a REST API that runs on your Google AI subscription for Google Flow: Free, Plus $4.99, Pro $19.99, Ultra $99.99 or Ultra $199.99 a month (as of October 2026). No Google Cloud project, no Gemini API key, no per-call metering.
Each example ships JavaScript and Python implementations (.mjs and .py) driven by a prompts.json you edit. Most are batch runners: they submit every prompt in the file and download every result, so you can queue a batch and come back to the winners. ugc-product-video/ is a pipeline instead — it chains six endpoints into one finished video, checkpointing as it goes.
Quick start
You need Node.js v21 or newer or Python 3.x (neither has any dependencies to install), a useapi.net API token, and a connected Google Flow account (one $15/month subscription covers every useapi.net API and 3 Google accounts):
git clone https://github.com/useapi/google-flow-api.git
cd google-flow-api/veo-video
node ./google-flow.mjs <API_TOKEN> <EMAIL>
# or, equivalently, with Python:
python3 ./google-flow.py <API_TOKEN> <EMAIL>
Edit prompts.json in each folder to queue your own prompts. Every supported parameter is documented on the POST /videos and POST /images endpoint pages.
MCP server
useapi.net also runs a hosted Model Context Protocol server for Google Flow, so an AI assistant such as Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code Copilot can use it on your Google Flow account. It has 12 tools: chat with Google Flow Agent, attach images, a video, voices and characters, answer its requests to spend credits, manage chats, set the project's approval mode, instructions and default models, list the account's characters, voices, images and videos, and upload images. Nothing to install or run locally.
- Endpoint:
https://api.useapi.net/v1/google-flow/mcp - Transport: Streamable HTTP
- Authorization: your useapi.net API token in the
Authorization: Bearer …header, and an account connected with the Google Flow setup - Listed in the official MCP Registry as
net.useapi/google-flow
Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http useapi-google-flow https://api.useapi.net/v1/google-flow/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and the full tool list: Google Flow MCP server docs. useapi.net is a third-party API, not affiliated with Google.
Use with Claude Code
This repo is also a Claude Code plugin marketplace. The plugin adds the hosted Google Flow MCP server and the omni-flash-video agent skill, and reads your token from the USEAPI_TOKEN environment variable, so set it before you start Claude Code:
export USEAPI_TOKEN=user:12345-... # your useapi.net API token
Then, inside Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add useapi/google-flow-api
/plugin install google-flow@useapi-google-flow
On Claude Code 2.1.275 or later, /plugin install google-flow --marketplace useapi/google-flow-api does both in one step. Run /mcp to check that useapi-google-flow is connected.
Use with Gemini CLI
This repo is also a Gemini CLI extension with the same MCP server and the omni-flash-video agent skill:
gemini extensions install https://github.com/useapi/google-flow-api
The install asks for your useapi.net API token and keeps it in the system keychain. Change it later with gemini extensions config useapi-google-flow, and check the connection with gemini mcp list. The omni-flash-video skill's scripts read USEAPI_TOKEN from your shell, so export it as well if you use the skill.
Common questions
- Does Google Flow have an API or an API key? Through useapi.net, yes. Google offers Flow only as a website, with no public API and no Flow API key (as of October 2026). The useapi.net Google Flow API runs Veo 3.1, Omni 1.1 Flash and Nano Banana Pro, 2.1 and 2 Lite over REST on your Google AI subscription, with a useapi.net API token as the key, and also chats with Google Flow Agent, which Google offers only inside the Flow website.
- How do I connect my Google account? Through the useapi.net automated browser setup: sign in with Google once, with no cookies to copy and no Google Cloud project or Gemini API key, and it's done in about a minute. Captchas are solved for you: your first account gets 300 free, then your own captcha provider costs about $0.80 to $3.00 per 1,000. To connect by hand, the Google Account Setup scripts (Windows, macOS, Linux) open a clean, single-use browser profile, so the cookies you copy keep working.
- How much does the Google Flow API cost? Through useapi.net, an 8-second Veo 3.1 Fast video costs $0.08 in Flow credits on Google AI Ultra $199.99 and $0.40 on Pro $19.99, against $0.80 on Google's Agent Platform. An 8-second Omni 1.1 Flash video costs $0.10 on Ultra $199.99, against $0.81 on the Gemini API, and Nano Banana Pro images use no credits, against $0.134 each (as of October 2026). The price table shows every model on every subscription.
- Is there a free Google Flow API? Through useapi.net, yes: a free Google account makes Nano Banana images and Veo 3.1 Fast and Lite videos on its 50 daily Flow credits, enough for 2 Fast or 5 Lite videos, while Google's Gemini API charges for every image and every second of video (as of October 2026). Upscaling an image to 2K is free on every account too. Omni 1.1 Flash and video upscaling need a paid Google AI subscription.
- Is there a second Omni allowance? Through useapi.net, yes: the Google Vids API makes Omni 1.1 Flash video on the same Google AI subscription from Vids' own monthly allowance, separate from Flow credits and with no captcha. On Ultra $199.99 the two allowances together come to about 2,666 ten-second Omni clips a month on one Google account. Examples: .
