What is HiAPI?
HiAPI is a unified AI API platform that lets developers access top-tier image, video, and audio generation models through one simple endpoint. Instead of juggling multiple APIs and storage setups, you get everything—model access, persistent output links, and task management—in a single integration. Whether you're building an AI-powered app, creative tool, or autonomous agent, HiAPI streamlines media generation so you can focus on your product, not infrastructure.
Built for real-world use, HiAPI handles long-running tasks with async processing, automatic callbacks, and built-in storage. All generated content comes back as a persistent URL, eliminating the need to manage your own file servers. With transparent pricing, production-grade reliability, and support for developer- and agent-friendly protocols like MCP and llms.txt, HiAPI makes it easy to go from prototype to launch.
What are the features of HiAPI?
- Unified API Endpoint: Call any supported image or video model using the same
/v1/tasksendpoint—just change themodelname. - Persistent Storage: Set
"storage": "persistent"to get long-lived URLs for all generated media—no extra storage setup needed. - Async Task Lifecycle: Submit a task, receive a
taskId, then poll or use webhooks to get results when ready. - Callback Support: Automatically notify your server when a task finishes by providing a
callback.url. - Agent & Developer Friendly: Integrates seamlessly via API docs, Remote MCP tools, Skills workflows, and OpenAI-compatible interfaces.
- Transparent Pricing: Every model is clearly priced; estimate costs before you integrate and scale with usage-based discounts.
- Production-Ready Infrastructure: Built for stability with 7×24 support, intelligent routing, and optimization for long-duration media tasks.
What are the use cases of HiAPI?
- An AI video SaaS platform rapidly tests and deploys multiple video models without rebuilding storage for each provider.
- Creative automation tools generate branded visuals or clips and pass persistent links directly to ad platforms or review systems.
- AI agents use HiAPI via llms.txt or MCP to autonomously create and reuse images or videos in multi-step workflows.
- Indie developers launch media-rich apps quickly using one API instead of managing separate services for generation and hosting.
- Content teams produce high-fidelity images with models like FLUX 1.1 Pro or Qwen Image 2.0 and share outputs via permanent links.
How to use HiAPI?
- Get your free API key from the HiAPI dashboard to start testing immediately.
- Choose a model (e.g.,
gpt-image-2/text-to-imageorseedance-2.0/text-to-video) based on your needs. - Submit a POST request to
https://api.hiapi.ai/v1/taskswith your prompt, model name, and"storage": "persistent". - Optionally include a
callback.urlto avoid polling—HiAPI will notify you when the task completes. - Use the returned
taskIdto check status or wait for the callback, then retrieve your persistent media link. - Review model-specific parameters in the API docs or test live in the Playground before coding.
