# MiniMax (Hailuo AI) Video 01 Director API

> Video 01 text-to-video na may mga naka-bracket na command para sa galaw ng camera at kontrol sa shot

Gumagawa ng video mula sa teksto prompt na hanggang 2000 character at hinahayaan kang idirekta ang camera sa pagdaragdag ng mga bracketed instruction gaya ng [Pan left] o [Zoom in]. Hanggang 3 pinagsamang galaw ang maaaring gamitin bawat prompt. Naka-enable bilang default ang `prompt_optimizer`.

- Model id: `minimax/video-01-director`
- Made by: MiniMax
- Category: Text to Video
- Output: video
- Price: $0.50 / video (cheapest run $0.50 (500 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.ru/v1/run/minimax/video-01-director`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.ru/v1/quote/minimax/video-01-director`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/fil/developers/models/minimax/video-01-director

## Pricing

Price: **$0.50 / video**. Billed once per generated video.

The full example input below costs $0.50 = 500 API credits (1 video × 500 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.ru/v1/quote/minimax/video-01-director` 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

| Parameter | Canonical name | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values / range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Maaaring luwagan ang screening sa pamamagitan ng pagtatakda ng false, kung awtorisado ang tumatawag. |
| `prompt` |  | string | yes |  | ≤ 2000 characters | Prompt para sa pagbuo ng video na maaaring magsama ng hanggang 3 galaw ng camera sa square bracket, gaya ng [Pan left], [Zoom in], o [Truck left, Pan right, Zoom in]. Ang mga available na galaw ay Static shot, Tracking shot, Shake, Zoom in/out, Tilt up/down, Pedestal up/down, Push in/Pull out, Pan left/right, at Truck left/right. Available ang detalyadong gabay sa galaw ng camera sa https://sixth-switch-2ac.notion.site/T2V-01-Director-Model-Tutorial-with-camera-movement-1886c20a98eb80f395b8e05291ad8645 |

## Example input

Required parameters only:

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

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "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.ru/v1/run/minimax/video-01-director?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.ru/v1/requests/REQUEST_ID?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY"
```

### JavaScript

```javascript
const API = "https://api.doitong.ru/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/video-01-director?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.ru/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/video-01-director", 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.ru/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/video-01-director",
      "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.
