Vydra

Vydra

Section titled “Vydra”

The bundled Vydra plugin adds:

  • image generation via vydra/grok-imagine
  • video generation via vydra/veo3 and vydra/kling
  • speech synthesis via Vydra’s ElevenLabs-backed TTS route

OpenClaw uses the same VYDRA_API_KEY for all three capabilities.

Important base URL

Section titled “Important base URL”

Use https://www.vydra.ai/api/v1.

Vydra’s apex host (https://vydra.ai/api/v1) currently redirects to www. Some HTTP clients drop Authorization on that cross-host redirect, which turns a valid API key into a misleading auth failure. The bundled plugin uses the www base URL directly to avoid that.

Setup

Section titled “Setup”

Interactive onboarding:

Terminal window
openclaw onboard --auth-choice vydra-api-key

Or set the env var directly:

Terminal window
export VYDRA_API_KEY="vydra_live_..."

Image generation

Section titled “Image generation”

Default image model:

  • vydra/grok-imagine

Set it as the default image provider:

{
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      imageGenerationModel: {
        primary: "vydra/grok-imagine",
      },
    },
  },
}

Current bundled support is text-to-image only. Vydra’s hosted edit routes expect remote image URLs, and OpenClaw does not add a Vydra-specific upload bridge in the bundled plugin yet.

See Image Generation for shared tool behavior.

Video generation

Section titled “Video generation”

Registered video models:

  • vydra/veo3 for text-to-video
  • vydra/kling for image-to-video

Set Vydra as the default video provider:

{
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      videoGenerationModel: {
        primary: "vydra/veo3",
      },
    },
  },
}

Notes:

  • vydra/veo3 is bundled as text-to-video only.
  • vydra/kling currently requires a remote image URL reference. Local file uploads are rejected up front.
  • Vydra’s current kling HTTP route has been inconsistent about whether it requires image_url or video_url; the bundled provider maps the same remote image URL into both fields.
  • The bundled plugin stays conservative and does not forward undocumented style knobs such as aspect ratio, resolution, watermark, or generated audio.

Provider-specific live coverage:

Terminal window
OPENCLAW_LIVE_TEST=1 \
OPENCLAW_LIVE_VYDRA_VIDEO=1 \
pnpm test:live -- extensions/vydra/vydra.live.test.ts

The bundled Vydra live file now covers:

  • vydra/veo3 text-to-video
  • vydra/kling image-to-video using a remote image URL

Override the remote image fixture when needed:

Terminal window
export OPENCLAW_LIVE_VYDRA_KLING_IMAGE_URL="https://example.com/reference.png"

See Video Generation for shared tool behavior.

Speech synthesis

Section titled “Speech synthesis”

Set Vydra as the speech provider:

{
  messages: {
    tts: {
      provider: "vydra",
      providers: {
        vydra: {
          apiKey: "${VYDRA_API_KEY}",
          voiceId: "21m00Tcm4TlvDq8ikWAM",
        },
      },
    },
  },
}

Defaults:

  • model: elevenlabs/tts
  • voice id: 21m00Tcm4TlvDq8ikWAM

The bundled plugin currently exposes one known-good default voice and returns MP3 audio files.
