# H3 Max Extend Video API

> Zet een bestaande video voort vanuit een tekstprompt en retourneert de volledige verlengde clip of alleen de nieuwe beelden

Accepteert een bronvideo (1.625 tot 60 s, maximaal 50 MB) en een `prompt` die beschrijft wat er daarna gebeurt. `duration` bepaalt 0.71 tot 15 seconden nieuwe beelden en `resolution` loopt van 480P tot 2K. Maximaal 3 `reference_audio_urls` kunnen de voortzetting sturen en `output` kiest tussen de gecombineerde 'extended'-video en een 'continuation'-clip.

- 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/nl/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 van de bronvideo voor uitbreiding; het bestand mag niet groter zijn dan 50 MB. Geaccepteerde video's hebben een beeldverhouding van 0.4–2.5 en een duur van 1.625 s–60 s. |
| `prompt` |  | string | yes |  | 1 – 50000 characters | Beschrijving van de gebeurtenissen die moeten volgen, niet van het bronmateriaal. |
| `reference_audio_urls` |  | array of audio URL | no |  | ≤ 3 items | Optionele clips die de nieuwe audio van de voortzetting sturen in plaats van de originele soundtrack; geef hun rol op in de prompt, bijvoorbeeld 'Audio 1 for the voice' en 'Audio 2 for background music'. Elke clip moet 2–15 seconden duren, met maximaal 15 seconden voor alle clips samen. De volledige uitgebreide video behoudt de originele soundtrack, waarvan het einde de overgang blijft sturen. |
| `enable_prompt_expansion` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Brongeleide promptverbetering voor een consistentere voortzetting. Inschakelen laat het systeem de prompt automatisch aanpassen, maar kan de verwerking verlengen. |
| `duration` |  | number | no | `5` | 0.71 – 15 | Aangevraagde hoeveelheid nieuw videomateriaal, gemeten in seconden in plaats van de volledige lengte van de voortzettingsclip. Die clip bevat ook de laatste 1.625 seconden van de bron; afronding van frames kan extra tijd toevoegen. |
| `resolution` |  | enum (string) | no | `768P` | `480P`, `768P`, `1080P`, `2K` | Resolutie van de resulterende video. |
| `aspect_ratio` |  | enum (string) | no | `auto` | `auto`, `21:9`, `16:9`, `4:3`, `1:1`, `3:4`, `9:16` | Beeldverhoudingen van de uitvoer: selectie van een verhouding past bijsnijden toe om deze te volgen, terwijl 'auto' de beeldverhouding van de bronvideo gebruikt. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Seed voor voortzettingsgeneratie; als deze niet wordt opgegeven, wordt een willekeurige waarde gebruikt. |
| `output` |  | enum (string) | no | `extended` | `extended`, `continuation` | Uitvoermodus: 'continuation' levert het nieuwe videomateriaal voorafgegaan door een herhaling van 1.625 seconden van het broneinde. Kies 'extended' om de bron en het nieuwe videomateriaal in één video te ontvangen. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Moderatie van zowel de invoervideo als de prompt. |

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.
