MiniMax H3
MiniMax H3 video generation at 2K resolution with keyframe and reference image control.
Nano Banana 2 Lite
Fast Gemini image generation and editing with prompt and reference-image guidance.
Gemini Omni Flash

Built for production
One request format across every model, official SDKs, and limits that scale with you.
One request format
Every image model takes the same body and returns the same shape. Switching model is a one-string change.
Image guideAsync video with polling
Submit a job, poll for status, download the result. Long renders never hold a request open.
Video guideOfficial SDKs
First-party Node.js and Python clients, or call the endpoints directly over plain HTTP.
LibrariesLimits that scale
Documented rate limits per endpoint, with headroom that grows alongside your usage.
Rate limitsTransparent by design
Every response includes a usage object showing exactly what the request cost. Consistent parameters, clear documentation, predictable bills.

Create an API key
Generate a key in the Developer Dashboard. It is shown once, so store it securely.
Add credit
The API is pay-as-you-go. Credit is drawn down per request, with no subscription and no minimum spend.
Pay only for what you use
Per-generation pricing with no subscriptions and no idle GPU costs. Images from $0.015. Video from $0.022 per second.
Every model lists its own per-resolution rates.
Frequently asked questions
What can I build with an image and video generation API?
Add generation to any product — on-demand visuals in design, writing or chat tools, automated imagery for listings and campaigns, or fast prototyping of concepts.
You get production models like Seedream 4, Nano Banana 2 and Kling O3 without running your own GPUs.
How do I get an API key?
Create a project in the Developer Dashboard and generate a key. It is only shown once, so store it securely. Full setup steps are in the authentication guide.
Is this image and video generation API free?
No — the API is a paid, pay-as-you-go product. You are billed per request, with no subscription and no minimum spend, and every response reports its exact cost.
Rates vary by model and resolution. See image model pricing and video model pricing.
How do I use the API?
POST a model id and a prompt. Images return synchronously; video returns a job you poll until it completes. Parameters differ per model — aspect ratios, resolutions, reference images and more.
