Call the MiniMax H3 Max 3D to Video API

POST https://api.varg.ai/v2/tools/video/call with Authorization: Bearer $VARG_API_KEY. It answers 202 with a job right away.

1. Send the request

cURL

curl -X POST https://api.varg.ai/v2/tools/video/call \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VARG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "model": "minimax_h3_max_3d_to_video",
  "prompt": "The moving block represents a running person.",
  "files": [
    {
      "url": "https://example.com/blender-previs.mp4"
    }
  ]
}'

JavaScript

const headers = {
  Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.VARG_API_KEY}`,
  'Content-Type': 'application/json',
}

const res = await fetch('https://api.varg.ai/v2/tools/video/call', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "model": "minimax_h3_max_3d_to_video",
    "prompt": "The moving block represents a running person.",
    "files": [
      {
        "url": "https://example.com/blender-previs.mp4"
      }
    ]
  }),
})
const job = await res.json() // { id: "job_…", status: "queued" }

Python

import os
import requests

headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['VARG_API_KEY']}"}

job = requests.post(
    "https://api.varg.ai/v2/tools/video/call",
    headers=headers,
    json={
      "model": "minimax_h3_max_3d_to_video",
      "prompt": "The moving block represents a running person.",
      "files": [
        {
          "url": "https://example.com/blender-previs.mp4"
        }
      ]
    },
).json()  # {"id": "job_…", "status": "queued"}

2. Get the result

Poll the job until its status is completed, failed or cancelled; MiniMax H3 Max 3D to Video typically takes about 2 min. The result is at output.outputs[0].url.

GET /v2/jobs/{id}

curl https://api.varg.ai/v2/jobs/$JOB_ID \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VARG_API_KEY"

# Poll until "status" is completed, failed or cancelled.
# The result is in output.outputs[0].url

JavaScript

let current = job
while (!['completed', 'failed', 'cancelled'].includes(current.status)) {
  await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 3000))
  current = await (await fetch(`https://api.varg.ai/v2/jobs/${current.id}`, { headers })).json()
}
console.log(current.output?.outputs?.[0]?.url)

Python

import time

while job["status"] not in ("completed", "failed", "cancelled"):
    time.sleep(3)
    job = requests.get(f"https://api.varg.ai/v2/jobs/{job['id']}", headers=headers).json()

print(job["output"]["outputs"][0]["url"])

Or take a webhook instead of polling

Add options.webhook_url and varg POSTs the finished job to it.

  "model": "minimax_h3_max_3d_to_video",

  }
