MiniMax H3 360 Orbit API

About MiniMax H3 360 Orbit

A full 360° camera orbit around the subject of one photo.

Call it with the model name minimax/h3-360-orbit/image-to-video on POST /jobs/createTask, from 38 credits for a 5-second clip ($0.38).

Introduction

MiniMax H3 360 Orbit Image to video turns one photo into a 360-degree camera orbit around a frozen moment that ends on the frame it began with.

Key features

• One photo in, a full 360-degree orbit out: your photo is used as both the first and the last frame, so the clip loops back to where it started.
• The 360 Orbit adapter runs at strength 1 with the exact instruction it was trained on, so there is no prompt to write.
• Without the adapter, the same base model reads a same-image start and end as a still and barely moves.
• The output keeps the shape of your photo: a square photo gives a square clip.

Request parameters

Pricing

Prices are in credits, the same credits you use on the website (1 credit = $0.01). The hold is taken when the task is accepted and settled to the actual charge when it finishes; failed tasks are refunded.

Each task is rounded up to whole credits, so one run at the lowest tier costs 38 credits for a 5-second clip ($0.38).

For an exact number before you run, send the same body to POST /jobs/quote.

Use cases

• Frozen-moment portraits: a person, hair and drifting details held still while the camera circles.
• Fashion and outfit looks shown from every side from a single shot.
• Short looping clips for social posts that end exactly where they begin.

Prompt guide & pro tips

• 3 seconds gives the cleanest freeze: the subject, hair and suspended petals held still for the whole turn in our tests.
• At 6 seconds the orbit is slower and people may start to move, as a dancing couple did in our tests.
• Busy foregrounds can cross the lens: in a crowded orchard, trunks briefly passed between the camera and the subject.
• Pick the photo shape you want the clip to have.

API quick start

Call the MiniMax H3 360 Orbit API in three steps

1. Create an API key. Sign in to PopNow and create a key in the API console. Keys start with sk-popnow- and use the same credits as the website.
2. Send the request. POST /jobs/createTask with model minimax/h3-360-orbit/image-to-video and an input object that follows the parameter table. The response returns a task ID straight away.
3. Get the result. Poll GET /jobs/recordInfo with the task ID, or pass a callBackUrl and we post the result to it. Download the output links when the task succeeds.

# 1. Create the task. Keep the Idempotency-Key if you retry after a network error.
export IDEMPOTENCY_KEY="$(uuidgen)"
curl -X POST https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/jobs/createTask \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $POPNOW_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $IDEMPOTENCY_KEY" \
  -d '{
  "model": "minimax/h3-360-orbit/image-to-video",
  "input": {
    "image_url": "https://media.popnow.ai/influencer/examples/marco.webp",
    "resolution": "480p",
    "duration_seconds": 3
  }
}'

# 2. Copy data.taskId from the response, then poll until state is succeeded, failed, canceled or expired.
TASK_ID="TASK_ID_FROM_RESPONSE"
curl "https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/jobs/recordInfo?taskId=$TASK_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $POPNOW_API_KEY"

Replace the prompt and any links with your own. The API tab has the response, polling and callback reference.
