MiniMax H3 Styles

Endpoint

POST https://api.roasos.com/v1/video/h3-max-style

Send your API key as a bearer token. The key needs the scope api:write. Every paid request also needs an Idempotency-Key header.

The envelope fields quote_only, quote_id, webhook_url and wait_timeout_seconds behave the same on each model endpoint. Refer to Jobs and Quotes and credits.

Good at

Use it for trend and nostalgia ads. Send style (vhs, retro-toon-70s, low-poly, hand-drawn or 16bit-pixel). The VHS look also takes damage_level (light, medium or heavy). Text-to-video takes six aspect ratios. With image_url, the first frame sets the framing.

Pricing

The unit is one clip. Pricing key: h3-max-style.

The credits come from the roasOS pricing table. No other field changes the price. To get the exact price of your request, send it with quote_only: true first.

Modes

• text-to-video
• image-to-video

roasOS selects the mode from the media fields of your request. You do not send a mode.

Provider endpoints: minimax/h3-max/styles/16bit-pixel · minimax/h3-max/styles/hand-drawn · minimax/h3-max/styles/low-poly · minimax/h3-max/styles/retro-toon-70s · minimax/h3-max/styles/vhs.

Request fields

The schema is strict. A field that is not in this table gets 400 unsupported_option. The field names are the roasOS role names. One role has one name in every family.

Media

This endpoint accepts these media roles:

• image_url — first frame (or the single source image)
• scene_id — first frame — a scene this workspace owns

Every other role is refused: avatar_id, elements, product_id, product_images, references, reference_images, end_image_url, scene_image, video_urls, video_url, audio_urls, audio_url, voice_id. A refused role gets 400 unsupported_option.

Prompt

Limit 10,000 characters.

• Describe the scene and the action, not the look. The endpoint applies the style.
• Direct the sound, or the model makes its own.

Result

The result kind is video. Always present: url.

{
  "data": {
    "id": "gen_…",
    "kind": "video",
    "model": "h3-max-style",
    "status": "completed",
    "result": {
      "url": "https://cdn.roasos.com/workspaces/ws_01/result"

The files are immutable objects on https://cdn.roasos.com. A result URL is a valid media input for your next request.

Example

The three steps are always the same: quote, run, poll.

# 1. Quote. Nothing is spent.
curl -X POST https://api.roasos.com/v1/video/h3-max-style \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer roasos_sk_live_..." \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: 0f1c9e2a-h3-max-style-0001" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"quote_only":true,"prompt":"A woman holds the bottle at eye level in a bright kitchen, morning light, static camera.","style":"vhs"}'
# 200 { "data": { "kind": "quote", "quote_id": "q_7Hk...", "credits": 5, "expires_at": "...",
#        "confirmation": { "model": "h3-max-style", "example": "5s_768p" } } }

# 2. Run. Same body, same Idempotency-Key, quote_id in place of quote_only.
curl -X POST https://api.roasos.com/v1/video/h3-max-style \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer roasos_sk_live_..." \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: 0f1c9e2a-h3-max-style-0001" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"quote_id":"q_7Hk...","prompt":"A woman holds the bottle at eye level in a bright kitchen, morning light, static camera.","style":"vhs"}'
# 201 { "data": { "id": "gen_...", "status": "queued", "credits_reserved": 5 } }

# 3. Poll, then read the result.
curl https://api.roasos.com/v1/jobs/gen_.../status -H "Authorization: Bearer roasos_sk_live_..."
curl https://api.roasos.com/v1/jobs/gen_.../result -H "Authorization: Bearer roasos_sk_live_..."

The deprecated path

POST /v1/generations still reaches this model for one minor version. It is deprecated. This is how it maps:

POST /v1/video/h3-max-style with prompt, style, damage_level (VHS only), image_url or scene_id, duration_seconds (5-15), aspect_ratio (text only) and seed.
