# Use FLUX Video Upscale with Comfy Router

> Python, TypeScript and cURL snippets for upscaling a video with FLUX Video Upscale over HTTP through Comfy Router, plus the request fields and the result shape

API Reference for FLUX Video Upscale. FLUX Video Upscale is Black Forest Labs' video upscaler: send a video, get a higher-resolution version back.

<Note>
  **Comfy Router is not generally available yet.** `POST /v2/models/{provider}/{model}` and its catalog and schema siblings are not serving requests yet: an authenticated call answers `404` today. The snippets on this page document the contract those routes will serve, published ahead of the rollout so your integration is ready to write against.
</Note>

## Quick start

Create a key at [platform.comfy.org/profile/api-keys](https://platform.comfy.org/profile/api-keys) and export it as `COMFY_API_KEY`. The Python and TypeScript snippets use the Comfy SDKs (`pip install comfy-sdk`, `npm install @comfyorg/sdk`); the cURL snippet is the same call over raw HTTP.

**Model ID:** `bfl/video-upscale-v1`

**Endpoint:** `POST https://api.comfy.org/v2/models/bfl/video-upscale-v1`

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={null}
  from comfy_sdk import Comfy

  # Reads COMFY_API_KEY from the environment. Each call sends a fresh
  # Idempotency-Key and waits up to 10 minutes for the finished result.
  with Comfy() as client:
      result = client.models.run(
          "bfl/video-upscale-v1",
          {
              "input_video": "https://your-host.example/clip.mp4",
              "upscale_factor": 2,
              "creativity": 1,
          },
      )

  print("video:", result["result"]["sample"])
  ```

  ```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
  import { comfy } from "@comfyorg/sdk";

  // Reads COMFY_API_KEY from the environment. Each call sends a fresh
  // Idempotency-Key and waits up to 10 minutes for the finished result.
  type Result = { result: { sample: string } };
  const { data } = await comfy.models.run<Result>("bfl/video-upscale-v1", {
    input_video: "https://your-host.example/clip.mp4",
    upscale_factor: 2,
    creativity: 1,
  });

  console.log("video:", data.result.sample);
  ```

  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl https://api.comfy.org/v2/models/bfl/video-upscale-v1 \
    -H "X-API-Key: $COMFY_API_KEY" \
    -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d "{\"input_video\": \"https://your-host.example/clip.mp4\", \"upscale_factor\": 2, \"creativity\": 1}"
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Schema

### Input

*Fields follow Black Forest Labs' published API specification and are checked against it in CI. Router's own schema for this model is not published yet, so requests are forwarded to the provider unvalidated.*

<ParamField body="input_video" type="string" required>
  The video to upscale, as an HTTPS URL or a base64-encoded MP4. At most 20 seconds and 50MB.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="upscale_factor" type="number" default="2">
  Resolution multiplier.

  Range: `1.5` to `3`
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="creativity" type="integer" default="1">
  `0` preserves faces and products faithfully; `1` lets the model add detail, suited to generated footage.

  Possible values: `0`, `1`
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="prompt" type="string" default="&#x22;&#x22;">
  Optional guidance for the added detail.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="safety_tolerance" type="integer" default="2">
  Moderation tolerance for inputs and outputs. 0 is strictest.

  Range: `0` to `4`
</ParamField>

### Output

Router returns Black Forest Labs' native response unchanged. The video is at `result.sample`.

<ResponseField name="id" type="string" required>
  BFL task id for this generation.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="status" type="string" required>
  Terminal task status. Router only returns once this is `Ready`.

  Possible values: `Ready`
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="result" type="object" required />

<ResponseField name="result.sample" type="string (uri)" required>
  Signed URL of the generated MP4. Expires roughly two hours after the result is ready.

  Format: `uri`
</ResponseField>

## Examples

### Input

```json theme={null}
{
  "input_video": "https://your-host.example/clip.mp4",
  "upscale_factor": 2,
  "creativity": 1
}
```

### Output

```json theme={null}
{
  "id": "0a1b2c3d-...",
  "status": "Ready",
  "result": {
    "sample": "https://.../upscaled.mp4"
  }
}
```

`result.sample` is a signed URL that expires roughly two hours after the result is ready. Download the MP4 promptly.

## Before you ship

The snippets above are the shortest working call. Three things are the same for every model and are documented once on the [Comfy Router headers](/development/comfy-router/headers) page: send an `Idempotency-Key` on every paid call and reuse it when you retry, expect the connection to be held up to Router's 10 minute deadline, and keep `X-Comfy-Request-Id` from every response. The SDKs do all three for you; the cURL tab does none of them. On failure, `X-Comfy-Error-Type` names the bucket, and a `422` means the body failed the model's schema and was never billed.
