}The MiniMax unified video entry point uses POST /v1/video/create with a JSON request body. Unlike MiniMax Video Generation (OpenAI Format), the creation semantics of this API are the same, but regeneration and query use /v1/video/remix and /v1/video/query.
- Currently only supports the
MiniMax-H3model. - Generation scenarios and field rules are identical to the OpenAI format, determined automatically from the request parameters.
- Total request body size must not exceed 64 MB. For large files, use a public URL instead of Base64.
Three generation scenarios, determined automatically from the request parameters
| Scenario | Parameters | Aspect Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Text-to-video | prompt only | Default 16:9, cannot be adaptive |
| Image-to-video | image or images | Forced adaptive |
| Multi-modal reference video | metadata.reference_video / reference_audio | Default adaptive |
Image-to-video and multi-modal reference video are mutually exclusive and cannot be mixed.
Request Headers
Authorizationstring必填Authentication header. Uses a Bearer token, e.g. Bearer YOUR_API_KEY.
Content-Typestring必填Request content type, must be application/json.
Request Body
modelstring必填Model name. Currently only supports MiniMax-H3.
promptstring必填Prompt. All generation scenarios require a non-empty prompt, up to 7000 characters per request.
durationintegerVideo duration in seconds. Range 4–15, default 5; out-of-range values are automatically clamped by the gateway to the boundary without an error.
sizestringVideo resolution. Options: 768P, 2K, default 2K; case-insensitive, unrecognized values fall back to 2K.
imagestringA single input image used as the first frame. Mutually exclusive with images; when both are passed, image takes precedence.
- Supports public URLs,
mm_file://{file_id}, anddata:image/<format>;base64,<Base64>. - Formats JPG/JPEG/PNG/WEBP/HEIC/HEIF, single file up to 30 MB, width/height [256, 5760] px, aspect ratio [0.4, 2.5].
imagesarrayMultiple input images; roles are assigned automatically by count.
- 1 image: first frame.
- 2 images: first frame + last frame.
- 3 or more: all used as reference images (multi-modal reference scenario, up to 9 reference images).
metadataobjectExtended configuration.
ratiostringAspect ratio. Options: adaptive, 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16.
- Text-to-video: default
16:9, cannot beadaptive. - Image-to-video (including first/last frame): forced
adaptive, other values are ignored. - Multi-modal reference video: default
adaptive.
reference_videostringReference video URL (multi-modal reference scenario). Formats MP4/MOV, codecs H.264/H.265, single file up to 50 MB, duration 2–15 seconds.
reference_videosarrayMultiple reference video URLs, up to 3, total duration up to 15 seconds. Mutually exclusive with reference_video; when both are passed, this field takes precedence.
reference_audiostringReference audio URL (multi-modal reference scenario). Formats WAV/MP3, single file up to 15 MB, duration 2–15 seconds; audio input is free.
reference_audiosarrayMultiple reference audio URLs, up to 3, total duration up to 15 seconds. Mutually exclusive with reference_audio; when both are passed, this field takes precedence.
aigc_watermarkbooleanWhether to add an AIGC watermark to the generated video, default false.
