HiAPI

HiAPI is a developer-first AI API platform that simplifies how you integrate image, video, and audio generation into your applications. Instead of juggling multiple API keys, billing systems, and model-specific schemas, HiAPI gives you one unified endpoint to access leading generative AI models from providers like OpenAI, ByteDance, Google, Black Forest Labs, and MiniMax. With just one API key and OpenAI-compatible requests, you can start generating content in minutes. The platform is built for developers, AI agents, and teams who need production-grade infrastructure without the overhead of managing storage or complex orchestration. Every output comes back as a persistent artifact link, so you never have to build or maintain your own storage system. HiAPI also supports advanced workflows through callbacks, idempotency keys, and model-specific routing. Whether you are building a creative tool, automating content production, or wiring up an AI agent, HiAPI handles the heavy lifting with transparent pay-as-you-go pricing and unified billing. The platform currently supports models like GPT Image 2, Seedream 5.0 Pro, FLUX 1.1 Pro, Seedance 2.0, MiniMax Music 2.6, and more, with new models added regularly.

Unified API

HiAPI provides a single endpoint and schema for every image, video, and audio model. You pass the model name, input parameters, and optional settings like route, storage, and callback through the same POST /v1/tasks endpoint. This means you can swap models without rewriting your integration code. Whether you are generating an image with GPT Image 2 or creating a video with Seedance 2.0, the request structure remains consistent. This dramatically reduces development time and simplifies maintenance.

Persistent Storage

Every output from HiAPI comes back as a durable artifact link. You do not need to build, manage, or pay for separate storage infrastructure. When you set the storage parameter to persistent, the platform stores the generated file and returns a URL that remains accessible. This is especially useful for applications where you need to reference or serve generated content repeatedly, such as in galleries, social media tools, or content management systems.

AI Agent Friendly

HiAPI is designed to work seamlessly with AI agents. It supports MCP (Model Context Protocol), Skills, and llms.txt integration. This means agents like Claude, Cursor, and Codex can discover, call, and compose HiAPI workflows automatically. You can paste an llms.txt prompt into your agent so it understands the available models and APIs, then choose between Skills, Remote MCP, or direct API as the setup path. This makes HiAPI a natural fit for autonomous content generation pipelines.

Production-Grade Reliability

HiAPI is built for real-world workloads. It features availability-first routing, meaning requests are directed to the most reliable model endpoints. Callbacks allow you to receive notifications when a task completes, so you do not have to poll for status. Idempotency keys prevent duplicate task creation if a request is retried. Combined with 24/7 support, these features make HiAPI suitable for high-volume, mission-critical applications.

Automated Image Generation for E-Commerce

E-commerce teams can use HiAPI to generate product images at scale. With models like GPT Image 2 and Seedream 5.0 Pro, you can create lifestyle shots, variations, or edited versions of product photos. The unified API lets you switch between models for different styles or budgets. Persistent storage means images are immediately available for use on product pages, ads, or social media. Callbacks can trigger downstream workflows like uploading to a CMS or sending notifications.

Video Content Creation for Marketing

Marketing teams can generate short-form videos using Seedance 2.0 through HiAPI. The platform handles the entire lifecycle: submit a job with a prompt and optional reference images, check the task status, and receive a callback when the video is ready. The persistent artifact link can be embedded directly into campaigns or shared on social platforms. Because HiAPI supports multi-shot consistency, you can create coherent video sequences without manual editing.

Music and Audio Generation for Media Production

Content creators and media producers can generate original music and audio tracks using MiniMax Music 2.6. You can submit prompts and lyrics to create complete songs, or use instrumental mode for background scores. HiAPI's unified API means you can integrate audio generation into the same pipeline as image and video generation. Persistent storage ensures audio files are always accessible for editing, mixing, or distribution.

AI Agent Powered Content Pipelines

Developers building AI agents can wire them into HiAPI using MCP, Skills, or llms.txt. An agent can autonomously decide which model to call based on a user request, generate an image, video, or audio file, and return the persistent link. For example, an agent could take a user's description of a scene, generate an image with FLUX 1.1 Pro, then create a matching music track with MiniMax Music 2.6, all through the same API. This enables fully automated creative workflows.

How do I get started with HiAPI?

Sign up on the HiAPI website to get a free API key and up to $1 in free credits. You can then make your first API call using the POST /v1/tasks endpoint. The API is OpenAI-compatible, so if you have experience with OpenAI's API, you will find HiAPI familiar. Refer to the API docs for detailed reference material and code examples in curl, JavaScript, and Python.

What models are available on HiAPI?

HiAPI currently supports a curated set of leading models including GPT Image 2 for image generation and editing, Nano Banana 2 (Google Gemini Flash) for fast image generation, Seedance 2.0 for cinematic video with audio, MiniMax Music 2.6 for music and song generation, FLUX 1.1 Pro for high-fidelity images, and Seedream 5.0 Pro for flagship image generation with sharp text rendering. The model list is regularly updated.

How does pricing work for HiAPI?

HiAPI uses transparent pay-as-you-go pricing. Every model lists its price upfront on the model details page, so you can estimate costs before integrating. You can review each model's price per task, check usage, and see parameters. Unified billing means you receive a single invoice for all models used. There are no monthly commitments or hidden fees.

Can I use HiAPI with AI agents like Claude or Cursor?

Yes, HiAPI is designed to be AI agent friendly. It supports MCP (Model Context Protocol), Skills, and llms.txt integration. You can paste the llms.txt prompt into your agent so it understands the available models and APIs. The agent can then choose between using Skills, Remote MCP, or the direct API as the setup path. This makes HiAPI a great fit for autonomous content generation tools.

HiAPI operates on a transparent pay-as-you-go pricing model. Every model lists its price per task on the model details page, allowing you to estimate costs before integration. You can check API usage, parameters, and pricing for each model directly on the platform. Unified billing means you receive a single invoice for all models used, regardless of the provider.
