Hailuo AI / MiniMax

Hailuo AI is MiniMax's generative video and audio platform. MiniMax is a Singapore- and China-based foundation-model company whose developer platform (platform.minimax.io / api.minimax.io, and intl.minimaxi.com for international users) exposes documented HTTP APIs for AI video generation (the Hailuo text-to-video and image-to-video models - MiniMax-Hailuo-2.3, MiniMax-Hailuo-02, Video-01, T2V-01, I2V-01, S2V-01), large language model chat completions (the MiniMax / abab family), text-to-speech (T2A) over both HTTP and a real-time WebSocket, music generation, and voice cloning. Video generation follows an asynchronous create-task-then-poll pattern; all APIs authenticate with a Bearer API key.

Hailuo AI / MiniMax publishes 5 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Chat Completions API, Files API, Music Generation API, and 2 more. Tagged areas include Video Generation, AI Video, Generative AI, Text-to-Video, and Image-to-Video.

The Hailuo AI / MiniMax catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Hailuo AI / MiniMax’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, signup flow, engineering blog, and 6 more developer resources.

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-09-14 · rubric v0.22.0
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/hailuo-ai: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
