# H3 Max Relight API

> Ka whakarerekē rama i tētahi ataata mā te whakaahua porowhita rama, ka pupuri i ngā kaupapa, nekehanga me te oro

Ka whakamahi i te rama e whakaaturia ana i tētahi whakaputa porowhita (`reference_image_url`) ki runga i tētahi ataata pūtake kia 15 hēkona te roa. Ka hurihia te ataata ki te 24 fps, ka tapahia ki tētahi tatau anga whaimana, me te 2.33 hēkona pea te toenga. Ka haere `resolution` mai i te 480P ki te 2K, ā, ka whakaae `aspect_ratio` ki te adaptive me ētahi ōwehenga pūmau.

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

## Pricing

Price: **from $0.05 / second of input video** (the lowest tier; the quote prices your exact input). Price per second of your input 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 input video
- 768P: $0.08 / second of input video
- 1080P: $0.16 / second of input video
- 2K: $0.32 / second of input video

The full example input below costs $0.80 = 800 API credits (10 s input video × $0.08 (768P)).

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/relight` 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `video_url` | `video` | string (video URL) | yes |  | ≥ 1 characters | He ataata pūtake, 15 hēkona te roa mōrahi; mā tōna putanga kua whakaritea aunoatia e tautuhi te roanga putanga me te tatau anga. Ka hurihia te ataata ki te 24 fps pūmau, ā, ka tangohia ngā anga mai i te pito kia tae ki te tatau anga 17n+5 e tino pātata ana, me te pupuri i te 56 anga rawa atu (tata ki te 2.33 hēkona). |
| `reference_image_url` |  | string (image URL) | yes |  | ≥ 1 characters | He poro kua tāia e whakaatu ana i te rama e hiahiatia ana. |
| `resolution` |  | enum (string) | no | `768P` | `480P`, `768P`, `1080P`, `2K` | Kōwhiringa taumira ataata: me whai te 1080P me te 2K (1440p) i te pūtake 768P, ka whai ake ko te whakanuinga ā-ngohe me te whakamahine. Mā te kōwhiri i te 480P, 768P rānei ka whakamahi i te whakaputanga taketake. |
| `aspect_ratio` |  | enum (string) | no | `16:9` | `adaptive`, `21:9`, `16:9`, `4:3`, `1:1`, `3:4`, `9:16` | Te ōwehenga āhuatanga o te ataata whakaputaina. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Kākano hei whakahaere i te matapōkeretanga i te wā whakaputa ataata. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Ka whakahaere mēnā kua whakakāhia ngā tirotiro haumaru. |

File parameters (`video`, `reference_image_url`) 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
{
  "video": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
  "reference_image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg"

```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",

}
```

## 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/relight?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
    "reference_image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg"
  }'

# 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

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/relight?wait=20", {

// 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();

### Python

```python
import os
import requests

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

payload = {

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/minimax/h3-max/relight", 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/relight",
      "input": {
        "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
        "reference_image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg"
      },
      "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.
