# MiniMax H3

Model id on AIHubMix: `minimax-h3`

> MiniMax H3 (minimax-h3) is a general-purpose omni-modal generation model developed by the Chinese AI company MiniMax. It can jointly understand text, images, video, and audio while generating videos of up to 15 seconds in 2K resolution with native stereo sound. It is designed for advertising, branding, e-commerce, product design, UI/UX, and gaming. Compared with Hailuo 01 and Hailuo 02, H3 evolves from specialized video generation into a unified model for multimodal creation, reference-based editing, text rendering, and motion transfer.

- Developer: Minimax
- Input modalities: text, image, audio, video
- Pricing: per-generation — see https://aihubmix.com/model/minimax-h3

## Endpoints (base URL: https://aihubmix.com)

- `POST /ai/v1/videos` — video generation (`Authorization: Bearer $AIHUBMIX_API_KEY`); async — poll `GET /ai/v1/videos/{id}` until a terminal state
- `POST /v1/videos` — video generation (`Authorization: Bearer $AIHUBMIX_API_KEY`); async — poll `GET /v1/videos/{id}` until a terminal state

## Example

```bash
curl -s https://aihubmix.com/ai/v1/videos \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AIHUBMIX_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"minimax-h3","prompt":"<your prompt>"}'
```

The response contains a task id — poll `GET https://aihubmix.com/ai/v1/videos/<task_id>` until `status` is terminal, then read the output URL(s). Full parameter list: see the schema link below. Generation costs real money — check the price on the model page first.

## Parameters (video endpoint)

| name | type | required | default | enum |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `aspect_ratio` | string,null | no | "16:9" | 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 3:2, … |
| `duration` | integer|null | no | 5 |  |
| `extra` | object,null | no |  |  |
| `frame_images` | array,null | no |  |  |
| `input_references` | array,null | no |  |  |
| `model` | string | yes |  |  |
| `prompt` | string | yes |  |  |
| `resolution` | string,null | no | "2K" | 768P, 2K, null |
| `webhook_url` | string,null | no |  |  |

Always-current parameter schema (authoritative, no auth):

```bash
curl -s https://aihubmix.com/call/schema/models/minimax-h3/endpoints
```

Output URLs are short-lived (roughly 30 minutes) and are downloaded with the same `Authorization: Bearer` header — fetch them promptly and store the content yourself.

## Errors

Error responses carry a `tid` (trace id) — include it when contacting support. Reference: https://docs.aihubmix.com/en/FAQs/HTTP-Codes.md

- 400 — parameter error; most are passed through from the upstream provider (media: `prompt_missing`, `size_not_supported`, `n_not_within_range`, …)
- 401 — missing `Authorization` header, or the key is invalid/expired
- 403 — `insufficient_user_quota` (top up at https://console.aihubmix.com/), account suspended, or this key is not allowed to use this model
- 429 — rate limited; back off and retry
- 503 — no channel can serve the request (check the model id and your access), or the upstream provider is throttling; retry later

- Generate runnable code programmatically: npm `@aihubmix/codegen` — the generator behind the Playground's "Get Code" (4 protocols × 7 languages, media endpoints included); the body it builds is the exact wire body the Playground sends, so generated snippets and real requests cannot diverge. `@aihubmix/model-schema` (npm) translates the parameter schema above into codegen input
