# MiniMax H3 Reference to Video API

> Físeán ó suas le 9 dtagairt íomhá, 3 thagairt físeáin agus 3 thagairt fuaime, 5 go 15 soicind, suas le 4K

Gineann sé físeán ó `prompt` a luann tagairtí de réir ord, mar shampla Image 1, Video 1 nó Audio 1. Soláthair suas le 9 n-íomhá, 3 ghearrthóg físeáin agus 3 ghearrthóg fuaime, le huasmhéid 12 chomhad san iomlán. Is é fad `duration` ná 5 go 15 soicind, is é `resolution` ná 480P, 768P, 2K nó 4K, agus áiríonn `aspect_ratio` adaptive, 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4 agus 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/ga/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 | Treoracha giniúna físeáin le tagairtí aitheanta de réir chineál na sócmhainne agus a suíomh laistigh de gach liosta tagairtí, ag úsáid lipéid amhail Audio 1, Video 1, Image 1, Image 2, agus mar sin de. |
| `duration` |  | integer | no | `5` | 5 – 15 | Fad an fhíseáin, tomhaiste i soicindí. |
| `resolution` |  | enum (string) | no | `2K` | `480P`, `768P`, `2K`, `4K` | Roghnaigh taifeach an fhíseáin a gineadh, agus 2K agus 4K faighte trí bhonn 768P a mhéadú. Úsáideann roghnú 480P nó 768P giniúint dhúchasach ina ionad. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Síol don ghiniúint randamach; mura soláthraítear é, roghnaítear ceann go randamach. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Gníomhachtú an tseiceálaí sábháilteachta; cumasaíonn true an tseiceáil. |
| `prompt_expansion_mode` |  | string \| null | no | `balanced` |  | Iarracht athscríofa an leide roimh an nginiúint: roghnaigh 'quality' le haghaidh leid níos saibhre a thógann suas le thart ar 30 soicind, nó 'fast' le haghaidh toraidh i gceann thart ar soicind. Le 'balanced', déantar an rogha in aghaidh an iarratais; casann 'disabled' an leathnú as. |
| `aspect_ratio` |  | enum (string) | no | `adaptive` | `adaptive`, `21:9`, `16:9`, `4:3`, `1:1`, `3:4`, `9:16` | Cóimheas gné an fhíseáin aschuir. |
| `reference_image_urls` | `images` | array of image URL | no |  | ≤ 9 items | URLanna íomhánna tagartha don ábhar nó don stíl, ag roinnt uasmhéid 12 chomhad leis na tagairtí físeáin agus fuaime go léir. Aithin na híomhánna seo sa leid de réir a suíomh sa liosta agus úsáid Image 1, Image 2, agus lipéid ina dhiaidh sin. |
| `reference_video_urls` |  | array of video URL | no |  | ≤ 3 items | URLanna físeáin tagartha gluaisne nó eile, aitheanta de réir a suíomh sa liosta sa leid agus Video 1, Video 2, agus lipéid ina dhiaidh sin á n-úsáid. Is é 12 chomhad an teorainn chomhroinnte do thagairtí íomhá, físeáin agus fuaime; caithfidh gach gearrthóg físe maireachtáil 2–15 soicind agus gan níos mó ná 15 shoicind san iomlán a bheith iontu. |
| `reference_audio_urls` |  | array of audio URL | no |  | ≤ 3 items | Soláthair fuaim thagartha mar URLanna agus sainaithin na gearrthóga sa leid ag úsáid Audio 1, Audio 2, agus lipéid ina dhiaidh sin. Caithfidh gach gearrthóg maireachtáil 2–15 soicind, agus gan níos mó ná 15 shoicind fuaime a bheith ann san iomlán. Is féidir aon cheann de na cineálacha tagartha íomhá, físeáin agus fuaime a sholáthar leo féin nó le chéile, faoi réir uasmhéid chomhroinnte 12 chomhad. |

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

## 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.
