THE BIG PICTURE
About HiAPI
HiAPI is a unified API gateway that gives developers a single key and a single task-based interface for calling a range of mainstream generative models. According to the official site, it fronts image, video, audio, and text models, including GPT Image 2.5 Flare and Sunburst, GPT Image 2, Nano Banana 2, Seedream 5.0 Pro, Qwen Image 2.0 Pro, FLUX 1.1 Pro, Seedance 2.5 and 2.0, FLUX.3 Video, Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0 Omni, Wan 2.7, Grok Imagine 1.5, MiniMax Music 2.6, and ElevenLabs v3. The pitch is that one endpoint and one schema cover every image, video, and audio model, so teams do not have to integrate each provider separately.
The core workflow is asynchronous. Developers submit a job to POST /v1/tasks with a model name, model-specific input parameters, an optional route, an optional storage setting, and an optional callback. The API returns a task id; retries with the same idempotency key do not create duplicate tasks. Results can be polled or delivered by callback when the task reaches its final state. When storage is set to persistent, generated outputs are stored and returned as durable links, which the site presents as a way to avoid building and maintaining separate storage for each provider.
HiAPI also positions itself for AI-agent integration. The docs describe Agent Skills, a Remote MCP server at https://mcp.hiapi.ai/mcp, and an llms.txt index that agents can read to understand available models and APIs. The platform advertises availability-first routing, support for long-running jobs, and 24/7 support for production integration. Pricing is usage-based and listed per model, with a free API key and 200 credits offered at sign-up.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
A toolkit worth exploring
Get to know the capabilities. Find your own way to use them.
Persistent artifact storage
Set storage to persistent and generated outputs are stored and returned as durable links in the task result, so teams do not have to build separate storage for each provider.
Callbacks instead of polling
Provide a callback URL and HiAPI notifies you when a task reaches its final state, which the site presents as suitable for long-running image, video, and audio jobs.
Idempotent task submission
Requests can include an Idempotency-Key header; retries with the same key do not create duplicate tasks.
Agent integration paths
The docs describe Agent Skills, a Remote MCP server at https://mcp.hiapi.ai/mcp, and an llms.txt index so AI agents can discover, call, and compose HiAPI workflows.
Route selection
The route field lets callers select an available route such as default, beta, or ext, which the site links to cost-aware routing and comparing costs.
Text endpoints
The docs list Responses and compatible Chat Completions endpoints for text models, alongside the Unified Async API for media generation.
Product Photo Lab tool
A browser tool that turns a basic product shot into campaign-ready creative by keeping the product as the subject while rebuilding background, lighting, and display environment across fixed scenes and aspect ratios.
MADE FOR YOUR WORKFLOW
Where it fits into your day
AI video SaaS prototyping
Teams building AI video tools can test video models quickly, keep generated assets reachable through persistent links, and avoid building a storage path for every provider.
Creative automation pipelines
Persistent artifact links make it easy to pass generated outputs between campaign tools, review steps, and downstream automation.
Agent-driven media workflows
A task API with callbacks gives agents a clean way to request, wait for, retrieve, and reuse generated media through MCP, Skills, or direct API access.
Product photo scene generation
The Product Photo Lab can help prepare catalog, lifestyle, social ad, or seasonal product scenes from an uploaded product image, with review recommended before publishing.
YOUR FIRST STEPS
From first click to first result
Get an API key
Sign up to receive a free API key and 200 credits, then keep production keys safe as described in the authentication guide.
Choose a model and parameters
Select a model from the models overview and prepare its model-specific input parameters, such as prompt, aspect_ratio, resolution, or input_urls.
Submit a task
Send a POST request to https://api.hiapi.ai/v1/tasks with the model name, input object, optional route, optional storage setting, and optional callback. Include an Idempotency-Key if you want safe retries.
Track the task
Use the returned task id to poll for status, or provide a callback URL to be notified when the task reaches its final state.
Retrieve outputs
When storage is set to persistent, collect the durable artifact links returned in the task result and pass them to downstream tools or automation.

Which models does HiAPI support?
HiAPI supports selected image, video, audio, and text models. The homepage lists examples such as GPT Image 2.5 Flare and Sunburst, GPT Image 2, Nano Banana 2, Seedream 5.0 Pro, Qwen Image 2.0 Pro, FLUX 1.1 Pro, Seedance 2.5 and 2.0, FLUX.3 Video, Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0 Omni, Wan 2.7, Grok Imagine 1.5, MiniMax Music 2.6, and ElevenLabs v3. The docs provide a fuller model list.
How do persistent artifact links work?
Set storage to persistent in the task request and generated outputs are stored for you and returned as durable links in the task result.
Can I use callbacks instead of polling?
Yes. Provide a callback URL and HiAPI notifies you when the task reaches its final state, so you can skip polling.
Can I try models before integrating?
Yes. The site says each model page has a Playground where you can explore parameters and example outputs before writing code.
How is pricing structured?
Pricing is usage-based and listed per model. The homepage shows starting prices such as $0.050 per image for GPT Image 2.5 Flare and $0.231 per second for Seedance 2.5. The pricing page loads live model pricing, so confirm current rates there.
Is there a free way to start?
The site offers a free API key and 200 credits at sign-up. It also notes that the free browser generator needs no sign-up or API key, while production API calls require an account and API key.
What should I check before publishing generated product images?
The Product Photo Lab page warns that the model may alter package text, logos, barcodes, certification marks, reflections, or small structural details, and says not to treat the output as a compliance-ready primary listing image without review.
