How do I get a json2video API key?

Obtain your API key from the json2video website at https://json2video.com.

Is video rendering synchronous or asynchronous?

Video generation is asynchronous. Use the returned project ID with `get_video_status` to poll until status is "done".

What credentials does it need?

It reads `JSON2VIDEO_API_KEY` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.
