Introduction

Hailuo is an AI video service provided by Ace Data Cloud, featuring the MiniMax Hailuo video generation model. Through the unified API of Ace Data Cloud, you can quickly integrate Hailuo using Python to achieve text-to-video, image-to-video, director mode, and other features.

Prerequisites

  • Have an Ace Data Cloud account and obtain an API Token
  • Python 3.7 or above environment
  • Install the requests library: pip install requests

Basic Usage

The main endpoint for calling the Hailuo API is:
POST https://api.acedata.cloud/hailuo/videos
This example uses the minimax-t2v model.
Available models include: minimax-i2v, minimax-t2v, minimax-i2v-director.
Complete Python code example:
import requests

url = "https://api.acedata.cloud/hailuo/videos"
headers = {
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}
data = {
    "action": "generate",
    "model": "minimax-t2v",
    "prompt": "A golden sunset over the ocean waves"
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)
result = response.json()
print(result)
Please replace YOUR_API_TOKEN with the actual Token you obtained from the Ace Data Cloud platform.

Response Handling

After a successful call, the API returns data in JSON format. It is recommended to check the HTTP status code:
if response.status_code == 200:
    result = response.json()
    print("Call succeeded:", result)
else:
    print(f"Call failed, status code: {response.status_code}")
    print(response.text)

Advanced Usage

For APIs that support asynchronous tasks, you can obtain results via a callback URL:
data['callback_url'] = 'https://your-server.com/callback'
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)
# Results will be pushed to your server via the callback URL

Error Handling

Common error codes:
Status CodeDescription
401Authentication failed, please check API Token
403Insufficient balance or no access
429Request rate limit exceeded
500Internal server error
