Runnable Node.js examples for the MiniMax API by useapi.net — drive your own MiniMax / Hailuo account over a simple REST API. Generate Hailuo 01 / 02 / 2.3 video (plus Veo 3.1 and Sora 2 via MiniMax), Speech 2.8 narration with 600+ voices and voice cloning, and a deep image roster — Midjourney V7 / NiJi 7, Nano Banana 2 / Pro, GPT Image 1.5 / 2.0, Seedream 4.5 / 5.0, image-01 — all from one account with multi-account load balancing and no per-call metering.
Each example reads a list of prompts from a JSON file, submits them through the useapi.net MiniMax API, polls each task until it is final, and downloads every result — so you can queue a batch and come back to the winners.
| Example | What it does | Tutorial |
|---|---|---|
video/ |
Batch-generate Hailuo 01 / 02 / 2.3 video (plus Veo 3.1, Sora 2 and Seedance 2.0 via MiniMax) from text and/or image prompts, load-balanced across every connected account | How to Generate AI Video with the MiniMax (Hailuo) API |
speech/ |
Batch-generate Speech 2.8 narration — pick from 600+ voices or your own clones, steer emotion and pacing with inline markup, and download every MP3 | How to Generate Text-to-Speech Audio with the MiniMax (Hailuo) API |
You need Node.js v21 or newer (no dependencies to install), a useapi.net API token, and a connected MiniMax account (one $15/month subscription covers every useapi.net API):
git clone https://github.com/useapi/minimax-api.git
cd minimax-api/video
node ./videos.mjs <API_TOKEN>API_TOKEN is your useapi.net token. The video script discovers your connected MiniMax accounts and load-balances the batch automatically — no per-account email argument is needed. Edit videos.json to queue your own prompts. Every supported parameter is documented on the POST /videos/create endpoint page.
For speech instead of video:
cd minimax-api/speech
node ./speech.mjs <API_TOKEN> --voices british # find a voice_id
node ./speech.mjs <API_TOKEN> # generate lines.json- How to Generate AI Video with the MiniMax (Hailuo) API — batch-generate Hailuo 01 / 02 / 2.3 video, plus Veo 3.1, Sora 2 and Seedance 2.0 hosted by MiniMax, with a complete Node.js example.

Music has its own endpoints too — POST /music/create — but is not scripted in this repo yet. For a batch music example see mureka-api.
useapi.net is an experimental REST API for AI services. The MiniMax API drives your own MiniMax / Hailuo account, so you spend your plan's credits at consumer rates instead of metered developer-API pricing. See the model matrix and pricing on the API overview.
