Hedra

Hedra is a generative-media AI lab and creative platform that lets you produce image, video, and audio content through a web studio and a developer API. Its proprietary Character-3 model powers expressive talking-head and character video, and the platform brokers access to leading partner models (Veo, Kling, Grok, Nano Banana Pro, Flux, Sana) behind one credit-based account. The Hedra Web API exposes a small, uniform surface — list models and voices, upload assets, submit generations (image, video, avatar, text-to-speech, voice clone, upscale, video-to-video), poll generation status, and check billing credits — authenticated with an X-API-Key header. Hedra ships first-party Python, Node/TypeScript, and Rust CLI clients. Backed by a16z.

Hedra publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: Web API. Tagged areas include Company, Artificial Intelligence, Generative AI, Video Generation, and Image Generation.

The Hedra catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Hedra’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, pricing, signup flow, support, engineering blog, and 25 more developer resources.
