The Hailuo
API.
Public API keys are not in v1. The studio is the product today — signed-in generation via Hailuo 03 on Replicate, with MiniMax as a fallback. A developer API is coming.
A developer API is on the roadmap.
Same models as the studio
When keys ship, the API will run the same Hailuo 03 / 2.3 / 02 models as the studio — not a separate stack.
Async, webhook-driven
The planned shape is submit a job, get an ID, poll or take a webhook. v1 does not issue public keys yet.
Usage billed in credits
Studio generations already bill from plan credits. A future API would use the same meter.

Hailuo API FAQ.
What is the Hailuo API?+
A planned REST interface for the same Hailuo models as the studio. Public API keys are not in v1 — generate in the HailuoLabs app today.
How much does the Hailuo API cost?+
Not billed yet. Studio usage already uses plan credits from $14/month. A future API would use that same meter.
How do I get access to the Hailuo API?+
You can't yet. Create an account and use the studio. We'll announce keys when they ship.
Will the API support image-to-video?+
The studio already does: Hailuo 03 omni references, Hailuo 2.3 Fast first-frame, Hailuo 02 first/last frame. The API is meant to expose the same models.
Is the API synchronous or asynchronous?+
The planned shape is asynchronous. Nothing to call until keys exist.
The studio is ready now.
