# H3 Max Extend Video API

> Poursuit une vidéo existante à partir d'une invite textuelle, en renvoyant le clip complet prolongé ou uniquement les nouvelles séquences

Prend une vidéo source (1.625 à 60 s, 50 MB maximum) et un `prompt` décrivant la suite. `duration` définit de 0.71 à 15 secondes de nouvelles séquences, et `resolution` va de 480P à 2K. Jusqu’à 3 `reference_audio_urls` peuvent guider la continuation, et `output` choisit entre la vidéo combinée « extended » et le clip « continuation ».אני

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

## Pricing

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

The full example input below costs $0.40 = 400 API credits (5 s output 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.ru/v1/quote/minimax/h3-max/extend-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 | URL de la vidéo source à prolonger ; le fichier ne doit pas dépasser 50 MB. Les vidéos acceptées ont un format de 0.4–2.5 et une durée de 1.625 s–60 s. |
| `prompt` |  | string | yes |  | 1 – 50000 characters | Description des événements qui doivent suivre, et non description des séquences source. |
| `reference_audio_urls` |  | array of audio URL | no |  | ≤ 3 items | Clips facultatifs guidant le nouvel audio de la continuation à la place de la bande sonore source ; indiquez leur rôle dans l'invite, par exemple 'Audio 1 for the voice' et 'Audio 2 for background music'. Chacun doit durer 2–15 secondes, avec un total maximal de 15 secondes pour tous les clips. La vidéo prolongée complète conserve la bande sonore source, dont la fin guide toujours la transition. |
| `enable_prompt_expansion` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Amélioration de l'invite guidée par la source pour une continuation plus cohérente. Son activation permet au système de réviser automatiquement l'invite, mais peut rallonger le traitement. |
| `duration` |  | number | no | `5` | 0.71 – 15 | Durée demandée des nouvelles séquences, mesurée en secondes plutôt que comme durée totale du clip de continuation. Ce clip reprend également les dernières 1.625 secondes de la source, l'arrondi des images pouvant ajouter du temps supplémentaire. |
| `resolution` |  | enum (string) | no | `768P` | `480P`, `768P`, `1080P`, `2K` | Résolution de la vidéo produite. |
| `aspect_ratio` |  | enum (string) | no | `auto` | `auto`, `21:9`, `16:9`, `4:3`, `1:1`, `3:4`, `9:16` | Proportions de sortie : la sélection d'un rapport applique un recadrage pour le respecter, tandis que 'auto' utilise le format de la vidéo source. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Graine de génération de la continuation ; si elle n'est pas spécifiée, une valeur aléatoire est utilisée. |
| `output` |  | enum (string) | no | `extended` | `extended`, `continuation` | Mode de sortie : 'continuation' fournit les nouvelles séquences précédées d'une répétition de 1.625 seconde de la fin de la source. Pour recevoir la source jointe aux nouvelles séquences dans une seule vidéo, choisissez 'extended'. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Modération de la vidéo d'entrée et de l'invite. |

File parameters (`video`, `reference_audio_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",
  "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
  "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/h3-max/extend-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",
    "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/h3-max/extend-video?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.ru/v1"
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + os.environ["DOITONG_API_KEY"]}

payload = {
    "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
    "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/h3-max/extend-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.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/h3-max/extend-video",
      "input": {
        "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
        "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.
