Which mode does the Happy Horse 1.0 API pick for my request?

Routing priority is video_url > first_frame_image > image_urls > prompt-only. The three media fields are mutually exclusive in pairs; the only legal combination is video_url + image_urls (EDIT mode with up to 5 style references).

What resolutions and durations does the Happy Horse 1.0 API support?

The Happy Horse 1.0 API supports 720P and 1080P. Duration is any integer from 3 to 15 seconds (default 5). In EDIT mode the output length matches the source video, so the duration parameter is ignored.

Can the Happy Horse 1.0 API keep the source audio in edit mode?

Yes. Pass audio_setting=origin to retain the source soundtrack; audio_setting=auto regenerates audio. The Happy Horse 1.0 API only honors audio_setting when video_url is set.

How long can a Happy Horse 1.0 API video be?

Output length is 3 to 15 seconds. Source videos longer than 15 seconds in EDIT mode are auto-truncated from 0 to 15s upstream — slice the input first if you need a later segment.

Where is the full Happy Horse 1.0 API reference?

The full Happy Horse 1.0 API parameter list, error codes, and runnable cURL examples live at /docs/happyhorse-1-0.

Is Happy Horse 1.0 API free or paid?

Paid. Completed generations are charged at the rates in this page's pricing table. Eligible new accounts may receive promotional test credits; availability and amount are shown at signup or in the dashboard. Technical or provider failures are refunded automatically, except where this page documents a charged output-moderation block.

Does Happy Horse 1.0 API require a monthly subscription?

No. Pricing is pay-as-you-go: $1 buys 1,000 credits and credits never expire. Cost scales with what you generate rather than with a recurring fee.

How do I get a Happy Horse 1.0 API key?

Sign up and create a key in the dashboard, no card required. Pass it as a Bearer token in the Authorization header.

What is the Happy Horse 1.0 API?

Happy Horse 1.0 is Alibaba Cloud's unified video model, exposed on reAPI as one async endpoint that picks its mode from the request body: a prompt alone for text-to-video, a first-frame image for image-to-video, 1 to 9 reference images for reference-to-video, or a source clip for video editing with up to 5 style references and a keep-or-regenerate audio switch. Clips run 3 to 15 seconds at 720P or 1080P with prompts up to 2,500 characters. Pricing depends only on resolution and duration — the mode never changes the rate — and edit jobs bill from the source clip's server-probed length.

What you can build with this model

Real-world workflows and production use cases you can build and ship with this model.

Animate any photo with the Happy Horse 1.0 API

Pass a first-frame image and a motion prompt. The Happy Horse 1.0 API returns a 3 to 15 second clip from the same endpoint as your text-to-video calls — no model swap.

Generate a clip

Compose fresh scenes from reference images

Send 1 to 9 reference images alongside a prompt. The Happy Horse 1.0 API fuses subject, style, and props into a brand-new scene — product shots, character reskins, stylized social posts.

Restyle existing footage without re-shooting

Pass video_url to the Happy Horse 1.0 API and the source motion stays intact — only the look changes. Combine with up to 5 style images and audio_setting=origin to keep the original soundtrack.

Why reAPI for Happy Horse 1.0

One endpoint, four modes

The Happy Horse 1.0 API auto-routes T2V, I2V, R2V, and EDIT by request shape. Routing priority is video_url > first_frame_image > image_urls > prompt-only. No model swap, no second integration.

Pricing by resolution × seconds

The Happy Horse 1.0 API is billed per-second × resolution. See current 720P and 1080P rates in the pricing table on this page. Mode does not change the rate, and failed jobs refund automatically.

Native audio in edit mode

Set audio_setting=origin to retain the source soundtrack or auto to regenerate audio. The Happy Horse 1.0 API ships voiced clips without a separate TTS step.
