last_frame_imagerequiredstring (uri)Sets the ending image.Select a high-quality URL for better results.
nullmoderequiredstringSelect video generation mode. Choose 'standard' for efficiency or 'pro' for advanced features when available.
"standard""standard""pro"promptrequiredstringDefine video content details for clarity or abstractness. Use nautical themes for oceanic scenes or fictional for creative vibes.
"Man wandered into a desert canyon with a lion at his side."image_urloptionalstring (uri)Provide image URL for relighting. Use high-resolution images to enhance detail or standard for faster processing.

Returns: Video
Asynchronous requests (v2)
Use Async for video, long-running (>~60s), or high-concurrency workloads; Sync is simplest for fast image & LLM calls. Async submits a request and you poll it to completion.
- 1
POST /v2/minimax-hailuo-2Submit — returns request_id, status_url, response_url
- 2
GET /v2/requests/{id}/statusPoll — until COMPLETED or FAILED
- 3
GET /v2/requests/{id}Result — final response body
Status states
- A FAILED request is served as HTTP 422 — the body still carries the error detail.
- An unknown or expired request_id returns HTTP 404.
- Results are retained for 1 hour, then expire.
- Content / RAI blocks surface as FAILED, not a separate state.
- Track completion by polling the status endpoint.
