# H3 Max Camera Controls API

> Animira jednu sliku duž putanje kamere s ključnim kadrovima, uz kontrolu orbite, elevacije i udaljenosti

Koristi `image_url` kao prvi kadar i pomiče kameru duž `camera_trajectory`, popisa od 2 do 12 poredanih ključnih kadrova. Prema zadanim postavkama scena ostaje kruta pa se mijenja samo kamera. Trajanje je od 0.92 do 15 sekundi, uz razlučivost 480P, 768P ili 1080P. Proširenje upita može se prilagoditi.

- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/minimax/h3-max/camera-controls`

## Pricing

Price: **from $0.0325 / second (5 s ≈ $0.163)** (the lowest tier; the quote prices your exact input). Billed per second of output (`duration`, default 15).

Price rules (the first rule that matches the input wins; a parameter you leave out counts as its default):

- When `resolution` = 768P: $0.052 (52 API credits) / second
- When `resolution` = 1080P: $0.104 (104 API credits) / second

The full example input below costs $0.175 = 175 API credits (5 s × 35 API credits).

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-max/camera-controls` 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 | no | `The same elements in the reference are rigid. Preserve every element exactly. The entire scene is frozen. Only the camera moves. no scene motion only camera motion` | ≤ 50000 characters | Prompt za generiranje videa koji nadjačava zadano ponašanje zamrznute scene. Ako ga ostavite praznim ili ga izostavite, referentna scena ostaje fiksna i dopušta se samo pomicanje kamere. |
| `duration` |  | number | no | `5` | 0.92 – 15 | Traženo trajanje u sekundama, uz stvarnu duljinu videa do približno 0.7 s dulju od tog zahtjeva. |
| `resolution` |  | enum (string) | no | `480P` | `480P`, `768P`, `1080P` | Odabir razlučivosti generiranja: 1080P zahtijeva latentno poboljšavanje materijala izvorno generiranog u 768P, umjesto izvornog generiranja u odabranoj razlučivosti. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Početna vrijednost za nasumično generiranje; ako se izostavi, odabire se nasumično. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Aktivacija sigurnosne provjere; true omogućuje provjeru. |
| `prompt_expansion_mode` |  | string | yes | `balanced` |  | Razina preoblikovanja prompta prije generiranja: 'quality' razvija bogatiji prompt tijekom približno 30 s, dok 'balanced' vraća rezultat za otprilike sekundu. Odaberite 'disabled' za izostavljanje proširivanja prompta. |
| `image_url` | `image` | string (image URL) | yes |  | ≥ 1 characters | URL slike koja definira početnu sličicu videa. |
| `camera_trajectory` |  | array of object {time, azimuth, elevation, distance} | no |  | 2 – 12 items | Poredane ključne sličice kamere sa zadržanim potpunim rotacijama sa predznakom i ukupnim azimutnim pomakom ograničenim na 32 okreta. Izvan vremenskog raspona ključnih sličica kamera zadržava prvi položaj prije njegove vremenske oznake i završni položaj do kraja videa. |
| `camera_trajectory[].time` |  | number | yes |  | 0 – 1 | Normalizirano vrijeme unutar videa, pri čemu interval [0, 1] predstavlja njegov početak i kraj. |
| `camera_trajectory[].azimuth` |  | number | yes |  |  | Vodoravni kut kamere u odnosu na subjekt, izražen u stupnjevima. |
| `camera_trajectory[].elevation` |  | number | yes |  | -90 – 90 | Okomiti kut kamere u odnosu na subjekt, izražen u stupnjevima. |
| `camera_trajectory[].distance` |  | number | yes |  | > 0 | Udaljenost između kamere i subjekta, izražena u normaliziranim jedinicama scene. |

File parameters (`image`) 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:

```json
{
  "image": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg",
  "prompt_expansion_mode": "balanced"
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg",
  "prompt_expansion_mode": "balanced"
}
```

## 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-max/camera-controls?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg",
    "prompt_expansion_mode": "balanced"
  }'

# 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-max/camera-controls?wait=20", {

  }),
});
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 = {
    "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg",
    "prompt_expansion_mode": "balanced",
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/minimax/h3-max/camera-controls", 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-max/camera-controls",
      "input": {
        "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg",
        "prompt_expansion_mode": "balanced"
      },
      "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.

### Output fields (`output`)

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `video` | object {url, content_type, file_name, file_size} | Video koji je proizveo model. |
| `expanded_prompt` | string \| null | Prošireni prompt spreman za model ili null ako prošireni tekst nije dostupan. Slučajevi null uključuju onemogućeno proširivanje, proširivanje koje nije ništa promijenilo i proširivanje kojim interno upravlja hostani API modela. |
| `timings` | object \| null | Mjerenja trajanja izražena u sekundama, dostupna samo na rutama koje prijavljuju pozadinska vremena; inače null. Stavka 'inference' mjeri koliko je dugo trajalo DiT uklanjanje šuma na GPU pozadini. |
