# H3 Max Extend Video API

> Fortsätter en befintlig video från en textprompt och returnerar hela det förlängda klippet eller endast det nya materialet

Tar en källvideo (1.625 till 60 s, upp till 50 MB) och en `prompt` som beskriver vad som händer härnäst. `duration` anger 0.71 till 15 sekunder nytt material och `resolution` sträcker sig från 480P till 2K. Upp till 3 `reference_audio_urls` kan styra fortsättningen och `output` väljer mellan den kombinerade videon 'extended' och klippet 'continuation'.

- 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/sv/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 till källvideo för förlängning; filen får inte överstiga 50 MB. Godkända videor har ett bildförhållande på 0.4–2.5 och en längd på 1.625 s–60 s. |
| `prompt` |  | string | yes |  | 1 – 50000 characters | Beskrivning av händelserna som ska följa, snarare än en beskrivning av källmaterialet. |
| `reference_audio_urls` |  | array of audio URL | no |  | ≤ 3 items | Valfria klipp som styr fortsättningens nya ljud i stället för källans ljudspår; ange deras roller i prompten, till exempel 'Audio 1 for the voice' och 'Audio 2 for background music'. Varje klipp måste vara 2–15 sekunder långt, med högst 15 sekunder totalt för alla klipp. Den fullständiga förlängda videon behåller källans ursprungliga ljudspår, vars slut fortfarande styr övergången. |
| `enable_prompt_expansion` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Källstyrd promptförbättring för en mer konsekvent fortsättning. När den aktiveras kan systemet automatiskt revidera prompten, men bearbetningen kan ta längre tid. |
| `duration` |  | number | no | `5` | 0.71 – 15 | Begärd mängd nytt videomaterial, mätt i sekunder i stället för fortsättningsklippets fullständiga längd. Klippet övertar också källans sista 1.625 sekunder, och avrundning av bildrutor kan lägga till ytterligare tid. |
| `resolution` |  | enum (string) | no | `768P` | `480P`, `768P`, `1080P`, `2K` | Den resulterande videons upplösning. |
| `aspect_ratio` |  | enum (string) | no | `auto` | `auto`, `21:9`, `16:9`, `4:3`, `1:1`, `3:4`, `9:16` | Utdata-proportioner: val av ett förhållande beskär för att matcha det, medan 'auto' använder källvideons bildförhållande. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Frö för fortsättningsgenerering; om det utelämnas används ett slumpmässigt värde. |
| `output` |  | enum (string) | no | `extended` | `extended`, `continuation` | Utdata-läge: 'continuation' tillhandahåller det nya videomaterialet föregånget av en 1.625 sekunder lång upprepning av källans slut. Om du vill få källan sammanfogad med det nya videomaterialet i en enda video väljer du 'extended'. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Moderering av både indatavideon och prompten. |

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

  "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.
