## Example Request

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.eachlabs.ai/v1/prediction/ \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "model": "minimax-hailuo-v2-3-standard-text-to-video",
  "input": {
    "prompt": "Cinematic sunrise over a misty forest, golden light filtering through tall trees, soft fog drifting, birds in the distance — tranquil and ethereal atmosphere."
  }
}'
```

## Output Schema

Response returned by `GET /v1/prediction/{id}` when the job completes:

```json
{
  "status": "success",
  "predictionID": "string",
  "output": "string (URL of generated video)",
  "metrics": {
    "predict_time": "number (seconds)"
  }
}
```

## Polling

```bash
curl https://api.eachlabs.ai/v1/prediction/{PREDICTION_ID} \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"
```

| Status | Meaning |
|--------|---------|
| `processing` | Still running — poll again |
| `success` | Done — read `output` |
| `error` | Failed — read `message` / `details` |

## Webhook (alternative to polling)

Pass `"webhook_url": "https://your.host/path"` in the create request. Eachlabs POSTs this payload when the job ends:

```json
{
  "exec_id": "prediction-uuid",
  "status": "succeeded",
  "output": "https://...",
  "error": ""
}
```

`status` is `"succeeded"` or `"failed"`. `exec_id` equals the `predictionID` from create. Return 2xx within 30 seconds.

## Errors

Error body: `{ "status": "error", "message": "...", "details": "..." }`

| Code | Meaning |
|------|---------|
| `400` | Invalid input |
| `401` | Missing / invalid `X-API-Key` |
| `404` | Unknown model or prediction id |
| `429` | Rate limit — 100 creates / min, 10 concurrent per key |
| `5xx` | Retry with backoff |

## Overview

MiniMax Hailuo 2.3 Standard is a state-of-the-art AI video generation model developed by the Chinese startup MiniMax. It is designed to transform simple text prompts into high-quality, cinematic-grade videos, making advanced video synthesis accessible to a broad range of users, from independent creators to small businesses and educators. The model is part of the Hailuo series, which is recognized for its blend of budget-friendliness and professional-grade output, offering both physical realism and artistic flair in generated content.

Key features include the ability to generate videos from text or images, support for realistic motion and cinematic camera movements, and options for different quality tiers to suit various needs and budgets. The Hailuo 2.3 iteration, in particular, is noted for breakthroughs in realism, precision, and style diversity, with enhanced motion capture capabilities that further solidify its position in the industry. While the underlying architecture details are not fully disclosed in public sources, the model is likely built on advanced diffusion-based or transformer-based frameworks, common in cutting-edge video generation models, to achieve temporal consistency and high visual fidelity.

What sets Hailuo 2.3 apart is its focus on delivering cinematic quality at a more accessible price point compared to some competitors, without sacrificing the depth of control or the richness of output. This makes it especially appealing for users who need to produce compelling video content quickly and affordably, without extensive technical expertise.

## Usage Notes

- API Base URL: `https://api.eachlabs.ai/v1`
- Authentication: send `X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY`. Generate a key from the Eachlabs dashboard at https://www.eachlabs.ai/dashboard/api-keys.
- File-typed parameters (`*_url`, `image_url`, `video_url`, `audio_url`, etc.) accept publicly-reachable HTTPS URLs only. Upload your asset first (GCS / S3 / your CDN) and pass the resulting URL. Data-URIs and localhost URLs are rejected.
- For structured parameters (arrays / objects) send real JSON values, not stringified payloads.
- Monetary values are reported in USD; per-token / per-megapixel rates may be billed in micro-cents internally.
- Prefer `webhook_url` over polling for long-running predictions — see the Webhook Callback section.
