HiAPI

HiAPI is a developer-first AI API platform that eliminates the chaos of managing multiple generative AI providers. Instead of juggling separate API keys, billing accounts, and integration patterns for image, video, and audio models, HiAPI gives you one unified endpoint to access the best models in the world. Built for developers who ship fast, HiAPI supports OpenAI-compatible requests so your existing code works immediately with zero rewrites. The platform handles the heavy lifting: persistent artifact storage means every output comes back as a durable link without you building or maintaining any storage infrastructure. Whether you are a solo developer prototyping an AI feature or a team building production-grade applications, HiAPI delivers availability-first routing, webhook callbacks for asynchronous workflows, and pay-as-you-go pricing that scales with your usage. The platform is also AI agent friendly with built-in support for MCP, Skills, and llms.txt, making it trivially easy for agents like Claude or Cursor to discover, call, and compose HiAPI workflows. With models like Seedream 5.0 Pro for text-to-image and image-to-image generation, GPT Image 2 for sharp text rendering, and MiniMax Music 2.6 for generating complete songs from prompts, HiAPI puts the full spectrum of generative AI behind a single key.

Unified API for Every Model

One endpoint and one schema for every image, video, and audio model. You pass the base model name, provide model-specific input parameters, and HiAPI handles the rest. This means you never need to learn a new API pattern when switching between providers. Your integration code stays clean and consistent, and adding a new model is as simple as changing a string in your request. The platform validates parameters per request, so you catch errors before they hit the API.

Persistent Artifact Storage

Outputs come back as durable links that do not expire. Set the storage parameter to "persistent" and every generated image, video, or audio file is stored automatically. You never have to build, maintain, or pay for separate storage infrastructure. This feature is a massive time saver for applications that need to serve generated content to end users, because the links are immediately usable in web pages, apps, or downstream APIs without any additional processing.

Production Grade Reliability

HiAPI is built for real load with availability-first routing that automatically directs requests to healthy endpoints. Webhook callbacks notify your application on completion so you do not have to poll for status. The platform supports idempotency keys to prevent duplicate task creation, and every request returns a task id for tracking. Combined with 24/7 support, this gives you the confidence to run generative AI workloads in production from day one.

AI Agent Ready Integration

HiAPI ships with MCP tools, reusable Skills, and an llms.txt prompt that any AI agent can consume. Paste the llms.txt into your agent configuration and it instantly understands the full HiAPI API surface. Agents can then pick between Skills for common workflows, Remote MCP for tool calling, or direct API integration. This makes HiAPI the fastest way to add generative AI capabilities to agentic workflows in environments like Claude, Cursor, and Codex.

Rapid Prototyping of Generative AI Features

When you need to test a new AI feature fast, HiAPI gets you from zero to working prototype in minutes. Sign up, grab your free API key, and call any model with a single curl command. The OpenAI compatible request format means your existing integration code works immediately. You can swap between image generation with GPT Image 2, video generation with Seedance 2.0, or audio generation with MiniMax Music 2.6 without changing your application architecture. This speed lets you validate product ideas before committing to a specific model provider.

Building AI Powered Content Platforms

Platforms that generate images, videos, or audio for end users need reliable storage and predictable costs. HiAPI solves both problems with persistent artifact links and transparent per model pricing. Your users generate content, and you get back durable URLs that you can serve directly in their dashboards or downloads. The unified billing means one invoice for all model usage, and the pay-as-you-go model ensures you only pay for what you actually generate. This makes HiAPI ideal for social media tools, design platforms, and content marketing applications.

Agentic Workflows with Autonomous AI Agents

AI agents need to discover, call, and compose APIs autonomously. HiAPI is built for this. The llms.txt prompt gives any agent a complete understanding of the platform in one shot. Agents can use Skills for common tasks like text to image generation, or call the Remote MCP tools for more complex workflows. This enables use cases like an agent that generates product images, writes music for a video, and composes the final output without human intervention. The async task API with callbacks means agents can kick off multiple generations in parallel and wait for results.

Production Media Generation Pipelines

When you need to generate media at scale for ecommerce catalogs, marketing campaigns, or game assets, HiAPI handles the load. The availability first routing ensures requests go to healthy endpoints, and the idempotency key system prevents duplicate charges from retries. You can submit thousands of generation tasks, track each one by its task id, and receive callbacks as outputs complete. The persistent storage means you never lose an output, and the transparent pricing lets you estimate costs before you ship a large batch.

How do I get started with HiAPI?

Go to hiapi.ai and click Get Started. Sign up for an account, and you will receive up to $1 in free credits. Grab your free API key from the dashboard, and you are ready to make your first API call. The API uses OpenAI compatible request formats, so you can use your existing code or the provided curl, JavaScript, and Python examples in the docs. Start with a simple text to image request to see how fast the platform works.

What models are available on HiAPI?

HiAPI supports a curated selection of leading generative models. For image generation and editing, you have GPT Image 2, Nano Banana 2, FLUX 1.1 Pro, and Seedream 5.0 Pro. For video generation, Seedance 2.0 delivers cinematic output with native audio. For audio, MiniMax Music 2.6 turns prompts and lyrics into complete songs with instrumental mode. The platform is constantly adding new models, and you can explore the full list on the Models page.

How does pricing work on HiAPI?

Every model on HiAPI lists its price up front on the model details page. You pay only for what you use with pay-as-you-go pricing. There are no monthly commitments or hidden fees. You can review each model's cost before integrating, which makes it easy to estimate your budget for a production launch. Unified billing means you get one invoice for all your model usage across image, video, and audio generation.

Can I use HiAPI with AI agents like Claude or Cursor?

Yes, HiAPI is built for AI agents. The platform provides MCP tools, reusable Skills, and an llms.txt prompt. Paste the llms.txt prompt into your agent configuration and it instantly understands the full API surface. The agent can then choose between using Skills for common workflows, calling Remote MCP tools for direct integration, or using the raw API. This works with Claude, Cursor, Codex, and any agent that supports these standards.
