HiAPI FAQs

What is HiAPI?

HiAPI is a unified AI API gateway that provides a single endpoint for accessing multiple generative AI models. It supports image, video, and audio generation through providers such as OpenAI, ByteDance, and Black Forest Labs, with built-in task tracking and persistent storage.

Who is HiAPI for?

HiAPI is designed for developers and AI agent builders who want to integrate generative AI capabilities without managing separate API keys, SDKs, and storage infrastructure for each model provider.

How does HiAPI pricing work?

HiAPI uses a pay-as-you-go pricing model. New users receive free trial credits and additional credit packages are available for purchase. Pricing varies by model and generation type.

What models does HiAPI support?

HiAPI supports GPT Image 2, Seedance 2.0 for video, MiniMax Music 2.6 for audio, FLUX 1.1 Pro and Seedream 5.0 Pro for image generation, among others. The model catalog is updated as new providers are added.

Can I use HiAPI with AI agents?

Yes. HiAPI offers MCP, Skills, and llms.txt support, making it compatible with AI agent frameworks that can discover and call the API through standardized interfaces.
