Minimax H3 API

MiniMax H3 Official API

Use the bundled scripts/minimax_h3.py client. It has no third-party Python dependencies and fixes the model to MiniMax-H3 on the official /v2/video_generation API.

Before a paid request, read references/h3-api.md for credentials, input constraints, task recovery, and failure handling.

Before presenting the API route for a new video, run quote for both resolution estimates and balance for the current pay-as-you-go balance. These commands do not create a video task. The bundled quote is a CNY estimate for cn accounts only; never present it as a USD or global estimate.

Required Rules

1. Preserve the current task’s agreed script, product, language and audio across follow-ups. Consolidate missing choices and cost confirmation into one question. A user instruction to generate the displayed plan or a specific variant is authorization for that variant; do not ask again for unchanged choices. Newly invented scripts or an unconfirmed paid cost require confirmation. Preparation and free dry runs may run before confirmation.
2. Use the Pay-as-you-go API key saved under minimax in the current user's dsvideo/providers.json; the legacy MINIMAX_API_KEY variable remains an override. Never print, repeat, or place a literal key in a command.
3. Select global or cn with MINIMAX_REGION. This plugin defaults to cn, using the official https://api.minimaxi.com endpoint; use global only when the user explicitly has an international API account.
4. Obtain an explicit 768P or 2K choice from the user for the current task. Never infer, default, upgrade, or downgrade the resolution. Reuse the user’s existing choice unless they change it.
5. Show the current balance with the currency returned by balance and the estimated cost before asking the user to choose the API route. If balance lookup fails, report that it is unavailable and still show the estimate. For global, stop before paid creation unless a reliable current international estimate is available; never reuse the bundled CNY quote. Never treat an estimate as the final charge.
6. Run --dry-run first and check model, resolution, duration, ratio, and mode against the request. The paid command prints the same billable request summary immediately before its single POST.
7. Run exactly one generate command when the user wants a completed file. The script submits once, prints the task ID immediately, polls that task, verifies the returned resolution and duration, and then downloads its result.
8. If the terminal remains active, wait on that exact execution session. Do not submit another task.
9. After a timeout or interruption, recover with status or wait and the existing task ID. Pass the originally requested resolution and duration to wait so the result contract is verified before download. Never create a replacement merely because polling or downloading stopped.
10. Use submit only when the user explicitly wants an asynchronous task ID without waiting for a file.
11. A dry run does not need credentials and cannot incur a charge, but it is not proof that the API key works or that a video was generated.

Resolve The Client

Resolve this skill's directory, then invoke its bundled script with an available Python 3 interpreter:

python <skill-directory>/scripts/minimax_h3.py --help

Do not install mmx-cli, Node packages, or Python packages for this client.

Completed Video

python <skill-directory>/scripts/minimax_h3.py --region <global-or-cn> generate \
  --prompt "<video prompt>" \
  --resolution <768P-or-2K> \
  --duration <4-15> \
  --ratio <ratio> \
  --output <output.mp4> \
  --poll-interval 10 \
  --timeout 1800

For frame-based generation, add --first-frame, --last-frame, or both. For reference generation, repeat --reference-image, --reference-video, and --reference-audio once per input. Frame inputs and reference inputs cannot be mixed.

Balance And Estimate

python <skill-directory>/scripts/minimax_h3.py balance
python <skill-directory>/scripts/minimax_h3.py quote --duration <4-15> --reference-image-count <count> --reference-video-seconds <total-seconds>

quote returns both 768P and 2K estimates in CNY from the pricing snapshot documented in references/h3-api.md. It makes no network request and creates no task. balance performs only the official read-only account balance request and requires the saved MiniMax key or the legacy MINIMAX_API_KEY override.

The client converts supported local files to Data URIs. Public http(s) URLs, existing Data URIs, and mm_file:// IDs are passed through. Use URLs or file IDs when Base64 would exceed the 64 MB request limit.

Existing Tasks

python <skill-directory>/scripts/minimax_h3.py status <task-id>
python <skill-directory>/scripts/minimax_h3.py wait <task-id> --expect-resolution <768P-or-2K> --expect-duration <4-15> --output <output.mp4>
python <skill-directory>/scripts/minimax_h3.py list --page 1 --page-size 20 --status succeeded --model MiniMax-H3

V2 tasks remain queryable through the list endpoint for seven days. Retain the task ID in the user-visible result whenever the requested outcome is not yet downloaded and verified.

Delivery

For a completed request, verify that the reported local MP4 exists and is non-empty, then return its path, task ID, input mode, verified resolution, verified duration, ratio, and that the user selected the paid API route. Do not describe submission or a running task as a completed video.

Dsivio 内置版

对话使用本 Skill 的原始脚本和 MCP。查找、保存或修改模板时读 共享模板说明，直接读写共享文件夹；不创建页面任务或同步草稿。运行环境由应用提供，内置副本随应用更新。

视频配置在哪

视频页面和本插件共用一份 providers.json，页面保存后下次脚本调用直接生效，不需要重复配置。路径优先取 DSVIDEO_CONFIG_PATH；否则 Windows 为 %APPDATA%/dsvideo/providers.json，macOS/Linux 为 ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/dsvideo/providers.json。 用户问模型或配置时，运行 python <插件根目录>/scripts/dsvideo_config.py show（密钥脱敏），查看 providers.grok / providers.minimax / providers.comfy 的 model 和 base_url。MiniMax-H3 路线模型固定为 MiniMax-H3；ComfyUI 模型由工作流决定。旧环境变量显式覆盖时说明来源。生成仍使用插件自己的脚本和 MCP。

Execution context

Read 运行与恢复 before running commands. Keep requested speech and its language when switching routes or shortening a video. Official price estimates are not a custom gateway invoice.
