Wan 3.0 returns a URL that expires in a day
The reference states that a video URL valid for twenty-four hours is returned. That is the shortest published window on these sheets, and it is the only statement this page makes about the finished file. As of 2026-09-22.
| What comes back | For how long | What has to happen inside the window |
|---|---|---|
| A video URL | 24 hours | The file is fetched and stored somewhere durable |
| A file size | Not stated | Nothing; the figure does not exist on the page |
| A container or codec | Not stated | Delivery format is measured rather than read |
Inclusion rule. Statements this API reference makes about the returned result. Input constraints for conditioning media are a different subject and are not carried on this sheet. Order. What the page states first.
1A day is short enough to design around
Twenty-four hours means collection is part of the job rather than a housekeeping task. A queue that generates overnight and is reviewed the next afternoon is inside the window; one that generates on Friday and is reviewed on Monday is not.
On this row the re-generation that follows a missed window is comparatively cheap, because the page attaches no tier condition to its length. It is still a piece of work repeated, and the cause will not be visible in any other column.
2The clock and the combined duration rule are the two operational facts here
The same page states that input plus output must not exceed thirty seconds, which governs extension jobs. Read together, the two statements describe a workflow: extend inside an allowance, then fetch inside a day.
Neither appears in the length column or the resolution column, and both decide whether a pipeline works. They are the reason the file column exists on these sheets at all, given how few rows publish a size.
3What a URL says about where the file lives
A returned URL with an expiry is a statement that the vendor is not the archive. Any campaign asset has to be copied into storage the buyer controls, and that copy is where delivery checks and version history then live.
Thirteen rows in this register say nothing on this question. The two that do are the only ones where a plan can be built on published behaviour rather than on an assumption that the file will still be there tomorrow.

Inclusion rule. Every generator in the register against the file column. Most say nothing about files at all, which is why the column is mostly hollow and worth printing. Order. Alphabetical by generator name.

- Duration parameterAn integer in the range [2, 30] seconds, and input plus output must not exceed 30 seconds
