HiAPI

HiAPI is a developer-first AI API platform designed to simplify how you integrate image, video, and audio generation into your applications. Instead of juggling multiple API keys, billing systems, and documentation for each AI model provider, HiAPI gives you one unified endpoint, one API key, and one schema to call leading generative models from companies like OpenAI, ByteDance, Google, Black Forest Labs, and MiniMax. This means you can switch between models, test different outputs, and ship faster without rewriting code or managing separate integrations.

At its core, HiAPI is built for developers who want to focus on building products, not infrastructure. Every generation task returns persistent artifact links, so you never have to build or maintain your own storage system. The platform supports asynchronous workflows with callbacks, meaning you can submit a job, get notified when it completes, and retrieve the result without polling. This makes HiAPI ideal for production applications that need reliability, scalability, and minimal overhead.

HiAPI is also designed to be AI agent friendly. It supports MCP (Model Context Protocol), reusable Skills, and llms.txt prompts, so both human developers and autonomous agents can discover, call, and compose HiAPI workflows. Whether you are building a content creation tool, a social media automation bot, or a creative AI assistant, HiAPI gives you the building blocks to generate images, videos, music, and more with predictable pricing, transparent costs, and 24/7 support.

Unified API with One Endpoint

HiAPI provides a single POST /v1/tasks endpoint that accepts any supported model. You simply pass the model name and input parameters, and the platform routes your request to the correct provider. This eliminates the need to learn multiple APIs, manage different authentication methods, or handle varying response formats. The same curl, JavaScript, or Python code works for generating an image with GPT Image 2, a video with Seedance 2.0, or music with MiniMax Music 2.6. This simplicity reduces integration time from days to minutes.

Persistent Artifact Storage

Every output from HiAPI comes back as a durable link that remains accessible over time. You do not need to set up your own cloud storage, manage file expiration, or handle download logic. When you set the storage parameter to persistent, the platform stores the generated image, video, or audio file and returns a URL you can use immediately in your application, share with users, or embed in content. This feature saves significant development and operational overhead, especially for teams building media-heavy applications.

AI Agent Ready Integration

HiAPI is built to work seamlessly with AI agents and developer tools. It supports MCP (Model Context Protocol) for agent-accessible tools, reusable Skills for common workflows, and an llms.txt prompt that agents can read to understand the platform. This means you can paste a single prompt into Claude, Cursor, Codex, or any compatible agent, and it will know how to call HiAPI models, handle tasks, and retrieve results. This makes HiAPI a natural choice for teams building autonomous content generation pipelines or agentic workflows.

Production Grade Reliability

HiAPI is designed for real-world load with availability-first routing, automatic retries, and callback notifications. You can submit a task with an idempotency key to prevent duplicate submissions, and the platform will route your request to the most available endpoint. When a task completes, HiAPI can send a POST request to your callback URL, so you do not have to poll for status. Combined with 24/7 support, this infrastructure lets you ship AI generation features with confidence, knowing the platform can handle production traffic and edge cases.

Automated Social Media Content Creation

Marketing teams and content creators can use HiAPI to generate images, videos, and music for social media posts at scale. For example, you can build a pipeline that takes a blog post title, generates a matching image using Seedream 5.0 Pro, creates a short promotional video with Seedance 2.0, and adds background music from MiniMax Music 2.6. All outputs come back as persistent links, so you can directly embed them in your scheduling tool or CMS without manual downloading and re-uploading. The unified API means you can swap models as new ones become available without changing your integration code.

AI Powered Design Prototyping

Designers and product teams can use HiAPI to rapidly prototype visual concepts. By calling GPT Image 2 or FLUX 1.1 Pro through the same endpoint, you can generate variations of product mockups, UI backgrounds, or marketing visuals. The ability to set callbacks means you can submit multiple generation tasks in parallel and get notified when each one completes, speeding up the iteration cycle. Persistent storage ensures you can share links with stakeholders immediately without worrying about file hosting or expiration.

Music and Audio Generation for Apps

App developers can integrate HiAPI to generate custom music tracks, sound effects, or voiceovers directly from user prompts. For instance, a meditation app could let users describe the mood they want, then call MiniMax Music 2.6 to generate a unique instrumental track. The audio file is returned as a durable link that can be streamed or downloaded within the app. This eliminates the need for a separate audio library or licensing fees, and the pay-as-you-go pricing means you only pay for what you generate.

Agentic Workflows for Content Pipelines

Developers building AI agents can use HiAPI as a core component for media generation. An agent tasked with creating a product launch campaign could autonomously call HiAPI to generate hero images, promotional videos, and background music, then compose them into a final asset. The agent can read the llms.txt prompt to understand available models and parameters, use MCP tools to submit tasks, and handle callbacks to know when assets are ready. This makes HiAPI a natural fit for composable, agent-driven content production systems.

How do I get started with HiAPI?

Sign up for a free account at hiapi.ai to receive your API key and up to $1 in free credits. You can then call the POST /v1/tasks endpoint with your model of choice. The API accepts OpenAI-compatible requests, so if you have used OpenAI before, the syntax will feel familiar. For a quick start, copy the curl example from the documentation, replace the API key with yours, and run it to generate your first image or video.

What models are currently available on HiAPI?

HiAPI offers a curated selection of leading generative models. For images, you can use GPT Image 2, Seedream 5.0 Pro, FLUX 1.1 Pro, and Nano Banana 2. For video, Seedance 2.0 is available with cinematic quality and multi-shot consistency. For audio, MiniMax Music 2.6 generates complete songs from prompts and lyrics. The platform is continuously adding new models, and you can explore the full list on the models page. Each model page shows its specific parameters, usage limits, and pricing.

How does persistent storage work?

When you submit a task with the storage parameter set to persistent, HiAPI stores the generated output file on its infrastructure and returns a durable URL in the task response. This URL remains accessible for the duration specified in your plan. You do not need to set up your own S3 bucket, manage file lifecycle policies, or handle download redirects. The link can be directly used in web pages, emails, or mobile apps. This feature is designed to save you the complexity of building and maintaining a separate storage system.

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

Yes, HiAPI is built to be AI agent friendly. It supports MCP (Model Context Protocol) for agent-accessible tools, reusable Skills that provide step-by-step instructions for common workflows, and an llms.txt file that agents can read to understand the platform. You can paste the llms.txt prompt into your agent, and it will know how to discover models, submit tasks, and handle callbacks. This makes HiAPI a great choice for integrating generative AI into autonomous workflows built with Claude, Cursor, Codex, or any compatible agent framework.

HiAPI uses transparent, pay-as-you-go pricing. Every model lists its price per generation on its detail page, so you know the exact cost before you integrate. There are no monthly subscription fees or minimum commitments. You start with up to $1 in free credits when you sign up, and you can add funds to your account as needed. This pricing model lets you scale your usage from experimentation to production without surprises, and you only pay for what you generate. Check the pricing page for the latest rates on each model.
