# hailuo-02 {% columns %} {% column width="66.66666666666666%" %} {% hint style="info" %} This documentation is valid for the following list of our models: * `minimax/hailuo-02` {% endhint %} {% endcolumn %} {% column width="33.33333333333334%" %} Try in Playground {% endcolumn %} {% endcolumns %} Compared to earlier versions, this model brings enhanced physics, more natural camera movement, and better alignment with prompts. It currently supports 10-second clips at 768p, with native 1080p coming soon. ## Setup your API Key If you don’t have an API key for the AI/ML API yet, feel free to use our [Quickstart guide](https://docs.aimlapi.com/quickstart/setting-up). ## How to Make a Call
Step-by-Step Instructions Generating a video using this model involves sequentially calling two endpoints: * The first one is for creating and sending a video generation task to the server (returns a generation ID). * The second one is for requesting the generated video from the server using the generation ID received from the first endpoint. Below, you can find both corresponding API schemas.
## API Schemas {% hint style="success" %} Now, all of our API schemas for video models use our new universal short URL — `https://api.aimlapi.com/v2/video/generations`.\ However, you can still call this model using the legacy URL that includes the vendor name. {% endhint %} ### Create a video generation task and send it to the server ## POST /v2/video/generations > ```json {"openapi":"3.0.0","info":{"title":"AIML API","version":"1.0.0"},"servers":[{"url":"https://api.aimlapi.com"}],"paths":{"/v2/video/generations":{"post":{"operationId":"_v2_video_generations","requestBody":{"required":true,"content":{"application/json":{"schema":{"type":"object","properties":{"model":{"type":"string","enum":["minimax/hailuo-02"]},"prompt":{"type":"string","maxLength":2000,"description":"The text description of the scene, subject, or action to generate in the video."},"image_url":{"type":"string","format":"uri","description":"A direct link to an online image or a Base64-encoded local image that will serve as the first frame for the video.\nImage specifications: \n- format must be JPG, JPEG, or PNG; \n- aspect ratio should be greater than 2:5 and less than 5:2; \n- the shorter side must exceed 300 pixels; \n- file size must not exceed 20MB."},"last_image_url":{"type":"string","format":"uri","description":"A direct link to an online image or a Base64-encoded local image to be used as the last frame of the video."},"resolution":{"type":"string","enum":["768P","1080P"],"default":"768P","description":"The dimensions of the video display. 1080p corresponds to 1920 x 1080 pixels, 768p corresponds to 1366 x 768 pixels."},"duration":{"type":"integer","description":"The length of the output video in seconds.","enum":[6,10]},"enhance_prompt":{"type":"boolean","default":true,"description":"If True, the incoming prompt will be automatically optimized to improve generation quality when needed.

This endpoint lets you check the status of a video generation task using its `id`, obtained from the endpoint described above.\ If the video generation task status is `completed`, the response will include the final result — with the generated video URL and additional metadata. ## GET /v2/video/generations > ```json {"openapi":"3.0.0","info":{"title":"AI/ML Gateway","version":"1.0"},"servers":[{"url":"https://api.aimlapi.com"}],"paths":{"/v2/video/generations":{"get":{"operationId":"VideoControllerV2_pollVideo_v2","parameters":[{"name":"generation_id","required":true,"in":"query","schema":{"type":"string"}}],"responses":{"200":{"description":"Successfully generated video","content":{"application/json":{"schema":{"$ref":"#/components/schemas/Video.v2.PollVideoResponseDTO"}}}}},"tags":["Video Models"]}}},"components":{"schemas":{"Video.v2.PollVideoResponseDTO":{"type":"object","properties":{"id":{"type":"string","description":"The ID of the generated video."},"status":{"type":"string","enum":["queued","generating","completed","error"],"description":"The current status of the generation task."},"video":{"type":"object","nullable":true,"properties":{"url":{"type":"string","format":"uri","description":"The URL where the file can be downloaded from."},"duration":{"type":"number","nullable":true,"description":"The duration of the video."}},"required":["url"]},"duration":{"type":"number","nullable":true,"description":"The duration of the video."},"error":{"nullable":true,"description":"Description of the error, if any."},"meta":{"type":"object","nullable":true,"properties":{"usage":{"type":"object","nullable":true,"properties":{"tokens_used":{"type":"number","description":"The number of tokens consumed during generation."}},"required":["tokens_used"]}},"description":"Additional details about the generation."}},"required":["id","status"]}}}} ``` ## Full Example: Generating and Retrieving the Video From the Server The code below creates a video generation task, then automatically polls the server every **10** seconds until it finally receives the video URL. {% hint style="info" %} Generation may take around 4-5 minutes for a 6-second video and 8-9 minutes for a 10-second video. {% endhint %} {% tabs %} {% tab title="Python" %} {% code overflow="wrap" %} ```python import requests import time # Insert your AIML API Key instead of : base_url = "https://api.aimlapi.com/v2" api_key = "" # Creating and sending a video generation task to the server def generate_video(): url = f"{base_url}/generate/video/minimax/generation" headers = { "Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}", "Content-Type": "application/json" } data = { "model": "minimax/hailuo-02", "prompt": "Mona Lisa puts on glasses with her hands.", "first_frame_image": "https://s2-111386.kwimgs.com/bs2/mmu-aiplatform-temp/kling/20240620/1.jpeg" } response = requests.post(url, json=data, headers=headers) if response.status_code >= 400: print(f"Error: {response.status_code} - {response.text}") else: response_data = response.json() return response_data # Requesting the result of the task from the server using the generation_id def get_video(gen_id): url = f"{base_url}/generate/video/minimax/generation" params = { "generation_id": gen_id, } headers = { "Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}", "Content-Type": "application/json" } response = requests.get(url, params=params, headers=headers) return response.json() def main(): # Running video generation and getting a task id gen_response = generate_video() print(gen_response) gen_id = gen_response.get("generation_id") print("Generation ID: ", gen_id) # Trying to retrieve the video from the server every 15 sec if gen_id: start_time = time.time() timeout = 1000 while time.time() - start_time < timeout: response_data = get_video(gen_id) if response_data is None: print("Error: No response from API") break status = response_data.get("status") if status in ["queued", "generating"]: print(f"Status: {status}.
