# H3 Max Camera Controls API

> Hreyfir eina mynd eftir lykilrammasettri myndavélarbraut með stjórn á hringhreyfingu, hæð og fjarlægð

Notar `image_url` sem fyrsta ramma og færir myndavélina eftir `camera_trajectory`, lista með 2 til 12 röðuðum lykilrömmum. Sjálfgefið helst senan stíf þannig að aðeins myndavélin hreyfist. Lengdin er 0.92 til 15 sekúndur, með 480P, 768P eða 1080P upplausn. Hægt er að stilla stækkun fyrirmæla.

- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/minimax/h3-max/camera-controls`

## Pricing

Price: **from $0.0325 / second (5 s ≈ $0.163)** (the lowest tier; the quote prices your exact input). Billed per second of output (`duration`, default 15).

Price rules (the first rule that matches the input wins; a parameter you leave out counts as its default):

- When `resolution` = 768P: $0.052 (52 API credits) / second
- When `resolution` = 1080P: $0.104 (104 API credits) / second

The full example input below costs $0.163 = 163 API credits (5 s × 32.5 API credits).

Prices are the upstream price in USD, paid from the API balance in API credits (1000 API credits = 1 USD). `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/minimax/h3-max/camera-controls` with the same JSON body returns the exact price for that input; the quote is exactly what a run charges. Invalid input is never charged and failed or canceled requests are refunded automatically.

## Input parameters

Send either the canonical name or the native field name (not both). Canonical names are the same across models.

| Parameter | Canonical name | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values / range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `prompt` |  | string | no | `The same elements in the reference are rigid. Preserve every element exactly. The entire scene is frozen. Only the camera moves. no scene motion only camera motion` | ≤ 50000 characters | Kvaðning fyrir myndbandsgerð sem yfirskrifar sjálfgefna hegðun með kyrrstæðu atriði. Ef hún er tóm eða henni sleppt helst viðmiðunaratriðið fast og aðeins myndavélin hreyfist. |
| `duration` |  | number | no | `5` | 0.92 – 15 | Umbeðin lengd í sekúndum, en raunverulegt myndband getur orðið allt að um 0.7 s lengra. |
| `resolution` |  | enum (string) | no | `480P` | `480P`, `768P`, `1080P` | Val á upplausn efnisgerðar: 1080P krefst duldra betrumbóta á efni sem er upprunalega gert í 768P, í stað upprunalegrar efnisgerðar í valinni upplausn. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Sáð fyrir slembna efnisgerð; ef það er sleppt er eitt valið af handahófi. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Virkjun öryggisathugunar; true virkjar athugun. |
| `prompt_expansion_mode` |  | string | yes | `balanced` |  | Vinnsla við endurskrifun kvaðningar fyrir efnisgerð: 'quality' þróar ríkari kvaðningu í allt að um 30 s, en 'balanced' skilar niðurstöðu á um það bil sekúndu. Veldu 'disabled' til að sleppa útvíkkun kvaðningar. |
| `image_url` | `image` | string (image URL) | yes |  | ≥ 1 characters | Myndaslóð sem skilgreinir upphafsramma myndbandsins. |
| `camera_trajectory` |  | array of object {time, azimuth, elevation, distance} | no |  | 2 – 12 items | Raðaðir lykilrammar myndavélar með fullum undirrituðum snúningum og samtals azimuth-hreyfingu sem er takmörkuð við 32 snúninga. Utan tímasviðs lykilrammanna heldur myndavélin fyrstu stellingu fyrir tímastimpil hennar og lokastellingu það sem eftir er myndbandsins. |
| `camera_trajectory[].time` |  | number | yes |  | 0 – 1 | Staðlaður tími innan myndbandsins, þar sem bilið [0, 1] táknar upphaf þess og lok. |
| `camera_trajectory[].azimuth` |  | number | yes |  |  | Lárétt horn myndavélarinnar umhverfis myndefnið, mælt í gráðum. |
| `camera_trajectory[].elevation` |  | number | yes |  | -90 – 90 | Lóðrétt horn myndavélarinnar umhverfis myndefnið, mælt í gráðum. |
| `camera_trajectory[].distance` |  | number | yes |  | > 0 | Fjarlægð milli myndavélar og myndefnis, mæld í stöðluðum atriðiseiningum. |

File parameters (`image`) take a public `https://` URL, a `data:` URI up to 10 MB, or the `file_url` of an upload from `POST /files`.

## Example input

Required parameters only:

```json
{
  "image": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg",
  "prompt_expansion_mode": "balanced"
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg",
  "prompt_expansion_mode": "balanced"
}
```

## Run it

Set `DOITONG_API_KEY` to a key from https://doitong.com/developers/dashboard#keys. `?wait=20` returns the finished request in the same call when it is ready within 20 seconds; otherwise poll `GET /requests/{id}` (it also accepts `?wait=`), or pass `webhook_url`.

### curl

```bash
# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
curl -X POST "https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/minimax/h3-max/camera-controls?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg",
    "prompt_expansion_mode": "balanced"
  }'

# Still "queued" or "running"? Poll with the id from the response:
curl "https://api.doitong.com/v1/requests/REQUEST_ID?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY"
```

### JavaScript

```javascript
const API = "https://api.doitong.com/v1";
const headers = {
  "Authorization": "Bearer " + process.env.DOITONG_API_KEY,
  "Content-Type": "application/json",
};

// Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
let res = await fetch(API + "/run/minimax/h3-max/camera-controls?wait=20", {

  }),
});
let request = await res.json();
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(request.error.code + ": " + request.error.message);

// Not finished yet: long-poll until it is
while (request.status === "queued" || request.status === "running") {
  res = await fetch(API + "/requests/" + request.id + "?wait=20", { headers });
  request = await res.json();
}
if (request.status !== "succeeded") throw new Error(JSON.stringify(request.error));
console.log(request.outputs.map((o) => o.url), request.cost.credits + " API credits ($" + request.cost.usd + ")");
```

### Python

```python
import os
import requests

API = "https://api.doitong.com/v1"
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + os.environ["DOITONG_API_KEY"]}

payload = {
    "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg",
    "prompt_expansion_mode": "balanced",

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/minimax/h3-max/camera-controls", params={"wait": 20}, json=payload, headers=headers)
request = r.json()
if not r.ok:
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"]["code"] + ": " + request["error"]["message"])

# Not finished yet: long-poll until it is
while request["status"] in ("queued", "running"):
    request = requests.get(API + "/requests/" + request["id"], params={"wait": 20}, headers=headers).json()
if request["status"] != "succeeded":
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"])
print([o["url"] for o in request["outputs"]], request["cost"]["credits"], "API credits", "$" + request["cost"]["usd"])
```

### MCP

The MCP server at `https://api.doitong.com/v1/mcp` exposes the tools `search_models`, `get_model`, `quote`, `run`, `get_request`, `cancel_request`, `list_requests`, `create_upload` and `get_account`. A `run` call for this model:

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "run",
    "arguments": {
      "model_id": "minimax/h3-max/camera-controls",
      "input": {
        "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg",
        "prompt_expansion_mode": "balanced"
      },
      "wait_seconds": 20
    }
  }
}
```

## Response

Every call returns a request object. `status` is one of `queued`, `running`, `succeeded`, `failed`, `canceled`. `outputs` lists the generated files with URLs on our storage (kept forever, or 7 days with `?storage=temporary`; `storage` says which); `output` is the model's own result object with the same URLs.

### Output fields (`output`)

| `expanded_prompt` | string \| null | Útv\|\|\|\|un kvaðning tilbúin fyrir líkanið, eða null ef enginn útvíkkaður texti er tiltækur. null á við þegar útvíkkun er óvirk, breytir engu eða er meðhöndluð innbyrðis af hýstu API líkaninu. |
| `timings` | object \| null | Tímamælingar gefnar upp í sekúndum, aðeins tiltækar á leiðum sem skila bakendatímum; annars null. 'inference'-færslan mælir hversu lengi DiT-afsuðning tók á GPU-bakenda. |
