- Category: Image to Video
- Output: video
- Price: from $0.05 / second (5 s ≈ $0.25) (cheapest run $0.25 (250 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.ru/v1/run/minimax/h3/image-to-video`

## Pricing

Price: **from $0.05 / second (5 s ≈ $0.25)** (the lowest tier; the quote prices your exact input). Billed per second of output (`duration`, default 5).

The full example input below costs $0.36 = 360 API credits (6 s × 60 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/h3/image-to-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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `prompt` |  | string | yes |  | 1 – 50000 characters | Maagizo ya maandishi ya kuzalisha video. |
| `duration` |  | integer | no | `5` | 5 – 15 | Urefu wa video, uliopimwa kwa sekunde. |
| `resolution` |  | enum (string) | no | `2K` | `480P`, `768P`, `2K`, `4K` | Chagua mwonekano wa video iliyozalishwa, huku 2K na 4K zikipatikana kwa kuongeza ukubwa wa msingi wa 768P. Kuchagua 480P au 768P hutumia uzalishaji kiasili. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Seed ya uzalishaji wa nasibu; ikiachwa, huchaguliwa bila mpangilio. |
| `prompt_expansion_mode` |  | string \| null | no | `balanced` |  | Juhudi za kuandika upya kidokezo kabla ya uzalishaji: chagua 'quality' kwa kidokezo tajiri zaidi kinachochukua hadi takriban sekunde 30, au 'fast' kwa tokeo la takriban sekunde moja. Kwa 'balanced', chaguo hufanywa kwa kila ombi; 'disabled' huzima upanuzi. |
| `target_audio_url` |  | string (audio URL) \| null | no |  | ≥ 1 characters | Sauti ya hiari ya kubadilisha, inayotolewa kupitia URL ya HTTP(S) au data URI ya base64; klipu lazima idumu angalau sekunde 2 na isiwe kubwa kuliko 15 MB. Sauti iliyotolewa hubadilisha sauti iliyozalishwa kwa kasi ileile ya uchezaji: muda wa ziada hukatwa mwishoni, na klipu fupi huongezewa ukimya ili ilingane na video. Usampulishaji upya hadi 96 kHz unaweza kutokea kwa viwango vya sampuli vya juu isivyo kawaida. |
| `image_url` | `image` | string (image URL) \| null | no |  |  | URL ya hiari ya picha inayobainisha fremu ya mwanzo na turubai ya tokeo. Ikiwa end_image_url pekee imetolewa, fremu yake ya mwisho huamua turubai badala yake. Bila picha yoyote, uzalishaji hutumia maandishi-hadi-video yenye uwiano chaguomsingi wa 16:9. |
| `end_image_url` | `end_image` | string (image URL) \| null | no |  |  | URL ya hiari ya picha ya fremu ya mwisho, inayoweza kutumika hata bila picha ya mwanzo. Katika hali hii ya keyframe ya mwisho pekee, picha hii huamua turubai ya tokeo. |

File parameters (`target_audio_url`, `image`, `end_image`) 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
{
  "prompt": "The camera slowly pulls back as the fox runs off the path into the misty forest, fireflies scatter"
}
```

A fuller example:

```json

## 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/image-to-video?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "The camera slowly pulls back as the fox runs off the path into the misty forest, fireflies scatter",
    "image": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg",
    "duration": 6,
    "resolution": "768P"
  }'

# 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"
```

headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + os.environ["DOITONG_API_KEY"]}

payload = {
    "prompt": "The camera slowly pulls back as the fox runs off the path into the misty forest, fireflies scatter",

### 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/image-to-video",
      "input": {
        "prompt": "The camera slowly pulls back as the fox runs off the path into the misty forest, fireflies scatter",
        "image": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg",
        "duration": 6,
        "resolution": "768P"
      },
      "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.

### Output fields (`output`)

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `video` | object {url, content_type, file_name, file_size} | Video iliyotolewa na modeli. |
| `expanded_prompt` | string \| null | Kidokezo kilichopanuliwa na kuandaliwa kwa modeli, au null ikiwa hakuna maandishi yaliyopanuliwa. Hali za null ni upanuzi uliozimwa, upanuzi ambao haukubadilisha chochote, na upanuzi ulioshughulikiwa ndani na API iliyopangishwa ya modeli. |
