# H3 Max API

> לייגט אַ נײַע גענערירטע סצענע אַרײַן אין אַן עקזיסטירנדיקן ווידעא בײַ אַ אויסגעקליבענער צײַט, און קערט זיך דערנאָך צוריק צו דער אָריגינעלער רעקאָרדירונג

עדיטירט אַ קוואַל־ווידעא דורך צולייגן אַ נײַע סצענע צווישן `start_time` און `resume_time` (יעדער פֿון 1.625 ביז 60 s). די סצענע קען ווערן געפֿירט דורך אַ `prompt`, ביז 9 רעפֿערענץ־בילדער און ביז 3 רעפֿערענץ־ווידעאָס. `duration` איז 5 ביז 13 סעקונדעס, דער רעזולטאַט איז 480p אָדער 768p, און `color_match` איז לכתחילה אַקטיוו צו צונויפֿמישן דעם אַרײַנגעפֿירטן טייל מיט דער קוואַל.

- Model id: `minimax/h3-max/insert-video`
- Made by: MiniMax
- Category: Video to Video
- Output: video
- Price: from $0.05 / second (5 s ≈ $0.25) (cheapest run $0.25 (250 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/minimax/h3-max/insert-video`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/minimax/h3-max/insert-video`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/yi/developers/models/minimax/h3-max/insert-video

## Pricing

Price: **from $0.05 / second (5 s ≈ $0.25)** (the lowest tier; the quote prices your exact input). Billed per second of output (`duration`, default 13).

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

- When `resolution` = 768p: $0.06 (60 API credits) / second

The full example input below costs $0.30 = 300 API credits (5 s × 60 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/insert-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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `video_url` | `video` | string (video URL) | yes |  | ≥ 1 characters |  |
| `prompt` |  | string \| null | no |  | 1 – 50000 characters |  |
| `reference_image_urls` | `images` | array of image URL | no |  | ≤ 9 items |  |
| `reference_video_urls` |  | array of video URL | no |  | ≤ 3 items |  |
| `start_time` |  | number | yes |  | 1.625 – 60 |  |
| `resume_time` |  | number | yes |  | ≤ 60, > 1.625 |  |
| `duration` |  | number | no | `5` | 5 – 13 |  |
| `resolution` |  | enum (string) | no | `768p` | `480p`, `768p` |  |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  | 0 – 2,147,483,647 |  |
| `enable_prompt_expansion` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  |  |
| `color_match` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  |  |

File parameters (`video`, `images`, `reference_video_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:

```json
{
  "video": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
  "start_time": 1.625,
  "resume_time": 2
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
  "start_time": 1.625,
  "resume_time": 2
}
```

## 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/insert-video?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",
    "start_time": 1.625,
    "resume_time": 2
  }'

# 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/insert-video?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
    "start_time": 1.625,
    "resume_time": 2
  }),
});
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 = {
    "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
    "start_time": 1.625,
    "resume_time": 2,
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/minimax/h3-max/insert-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-max/insert-video",
      "input": {
        "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
        "start_time": 1.625,
        "resume_time": 2
      },
      "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.
