# MiniMax H3 Reference to Video API

> Video mula sa hanggang 9 larawan, 3 video at 3 audio reference, 5 hanggang 15 segundo, hanggang 4K

Gumagawa ng video mula sa `prompt` na tumutukoy sa mga reference ayon sa pagkakasunod, gaya ng Image 1, Video 1 o Audio 1. Magbigay ng hanggang 9 larawan, 3 video clip at 3 audio clip, na may kabuuang hanggang 12 file. Ang `duration` ay 5 hanggang 15 segundo, ang `resolution` ay 480P, 768P, 2K o 4K, at kabilang sa `aspect_ratio` ang adaptive, 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4 at 9:16.

- Model id: `minimax/h3/reference-to-video`
- Made by: MiniMax
- Category: Reference to Video
- Output: video
- Price per second of your output video: from $0.05 / second of output video (cheapest run $0.05 (50 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/minimax/h3/reference-to-video`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/minimax/h3/reference-to-video`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/fil/developers/models/minimax/h3/reference-to-video

## Pricing

Price: **from $0.05 / second of output video** (the lowest tier; the quote prices your exact input). Price per second of your output video: the input files are measured before the run (length, resolution, frame rate). The quote measures the same files and is exactly what the run charges.

Price by tier:

- 480P: $0.05 / second of output video
- 768P: $0.06 / second of output video
- 2K: $0.13 / second of output video
- 4K: $0.16 / second of output video

The full example input below costs $0.65 = 650 API credits (5 s output video × $0.13 (2K)).

Prices are the upstream price in USD, paid from the API balance in API credits (1000 API credits = 1 USD). `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/minimax/h3/reference-to-video` with the same JSON body returns the exact price for that input; the quote is exactly what a run charges. Invalid input is never charged and failed or canceled requests are refunded automatically.

## Input parameters

Send either the canonical name or the native field name (not both). Canonical names are the same across models.

| Parameter | Canonical name | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values / range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `prompt` |  | string | yes |  | 1 – 50000 characters | Mga instruction sa pagbuo ng video na may mga reference na tinutukoy ayon sa uri ng asset at posisyon sa bawat reference list, gamit ang mga label gaya ng Audio 1, Video 1, Image 1, Image 2, at iba pa. |
| `duration` |  | integer | no | `5` | 5 – 15 | Haba ng video, sinusukat sa segundo. |
| `resolution` |  | enum (string) | no | `2K` | `480P`, `768P`, `2K`, `4K` | Piliin ang resolution ng nabuong video, kung saan ang 2K at 4K ay nakukuha sa pag-upscale ng 768P base. Ang pagpili sa 480P o 768P ay gumagamit naman ng native na pagbuo. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Seed para sa random na pagbuo; kung hindi ibinigay, random na pipili ng isa. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Pag-activate ng safety checker; pinapagana ng true ang checking. |
| `prompt_expansion_mode` |  | string \| null | no | `balanced` |  | Pagsisikap sa muling pagsulat ng prompt bago ang pagbuo: piliin ang 'quality' para sa mas detalyadong prompt na maaaring umabot ng humigit-kumulang 30 segundo, o 'fast' para sa resulta sa loob ng humigit-kumulang isang segundo. Sa 'balanced', pinipili ang opsyon bawat kahilingan; ino-off ng 'disabled' ang pagpapalawak. |
| `aspect_ratio` |  | enum (string) | no | `adaptive` | `adaptive`, `21:9`, `16:9`, `4:3`, `1:1`, `3:4`, `9:16` | Aspect ratio ng output na video. |
| `reference_image_urls` | `images` | array of image URL | no |  | ≤ 9 items | Mga URL ng larawan reference para sa subject o style, na may pinagsasaluhang maximum na 12 file kasama ang lahat ng reference sa video at audio. Tukuyin ang mga larawan na ito sa prompt ayon sa posisyon sa list gamit ang Larawan 1, Larawan 2, at mga kasunod na label. |
| `reference_video_urls` |  | array of video URL | no |  | ≤ 3 items | Mga URL ng reference video para sa motion o iba pang gamit, na tinutukoy sa prompt ayon sa posisyon sa list gamit ang Video 1, Video 2, at mga kasunod na label. Ang pinagsasaluhang allowance para sa larawan, video, at audio reference ay 12 file; dapat tumagal ang bawat video clip nang 2–15 segundo at hindi hihigit sa 15 segundo ang kabuuan. |
| `reference_audio_urls` |  | array of audio URL | no |  | ≤ 3 items | Magbigay ng reference audio bilang mga URL at tukuyin ang mga clip sa prompt gamit ang Audio 1, Audio 2, at mga kasunod na label. Dapat tumagal ang bawat clip nang 2–15 segundo, at hindi hihigit sa 15 segundo ang kabuuang audio. Maaaring ibigay nang mag-isa o pagsamahin ang alinman sa larawan, video, at audio reference type, ayon sa pinagsasaluhang maximum na 12 file. |

File parameters (`images`, `reference_video_urls`, `reference_audio_urls`) take a public `https://` URL, a `data:` URI up to 10 MB, or the `file_url` of an upload from `POST /files`.

## Example input

Required parameters only:

  "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
}
```

A fuller example:

```json

}
```

## Run it

Set `DOITONG_API_KEY` to a key from https://doitong.com/developers/dashboard#keys. `?wait=20` returns the finished request in the same call when it is ready within 20 seconds; otherwise poll `GET /requests/{id}` (it also accepts `?wait=`), or pass `webhook_url`.

### curl

```bash
# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
curl -X POST "https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/minimax/h3/reference-to-video?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
  }'

# Still "queued" or "running"? Poll with the id from the response:
curl "https://api.doitong.com/v1/requests/REQUEST_ID?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY"
```

### JavaScript

```javascript
const API = "https://api.doitong.com/v1";
const headers = {
  "Authorization": "Bearer " + process.env.DOITONG_API_KEY,
  "Content-Type": "application/json",
};

// Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
let res = await fetch(API + "/run/minimax/h3/reference-to-video?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
  }),
});
let request = await res.json();
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(request.error.code + ": " + request.error.message);

// Not finished yet: long-poll until it is
while (request.status === "queued" || request.status === "running") {
  res = await fetch(API + "/requests/" + request.id + "?wait=20", { headers });
  request = await res.json();
}
if (request.status !== "succeeded") throw new Error(JSON.stringify(request.error));
console.log(request.outputs.map((o) => o.url), request.cost.credits + " API credits ($" + request.cost.usd + ")");
```

### Python

```python
import os
import requests

API = "https://api.doitong.com/v1"
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + os.environ["DOITONG_API_KEY"]}

payload = {
    "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field",
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/minimax/h3/reference-to-video", params={"wait": 20}, json=payload, headers=headers)
request = r.json()
if not r.ok:
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"]["code"] + ": " + request["error"]["message"])

# Not finished yet: long-poll until it is
while request["status"] in ("queued", "running"):
    request = requests.get(API + "/requests/" + request["id"], params={"wait": 20}, headers=headers).json()
if request["status"] != "succeeded":
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"])
print([o["url"] for o in request["outputs"]], request["cost"]["credits"], "API credits", "$" + request["cost"]["usd"])
```

### MCP

The MCP server at `https://api.doitong.com/v1/mcp` exposes the tools `search_models`, `get_model`, `quote`, `run`, `get_request`, `cancel_request`, `list_requests`, `create_upload` and `get_account`. A `run` call for this model:

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "run",
    "arguments": {
      "model_id": "minimax/h3/reference-to-video",
      "input": {
        "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
      },
      "wait_seconds": 20
    }
  }
}
```

## Response

Every call returns a request object. `status` is one of `queued`, `running`, `succeeded`, `failed`, `canceled`. `outputs` lists the generated files with URLs on our storage (kept forever, or 7 days with `?storage=temporary`; `storage` says which); `output` is the model's own result object with the same URLs.
