HappyHorse 1.1 API

Uncensored — This model declares no content filter. SpicyAPI forwards the request without adding a platform content scan; legal and consent duties remain with the customer. Image to video — Uncensored; Reference to video — Uncensored; Text to video — Filtered.Browse every model at this filtering level
alibaba/happyhorse-1.1/image-to-video

HappyHorse 1.1 image-to-video animates your opening frame from a prompt describing the movement that follows. Clips run 3 to 15 whole seconds at 720p or 1080p with generated sound, and the frame sets the shape.

Filtering differs by endpoint: Image to video — Uncensored, Reference to video — Uncensored, Text to video — Filtered.

Send a request

Quickstart

Examples use the selected endpoint’s public parameter definitions. Replace the API key and example media, then send the request from your server.

POSThttps://api.spicyapi.ai/api/v1/jobs/createTask

API authentication

Keep the API key in the server environment variable SPICY_API_KEY. Use Bearer authentication and Content-Type: application/json for JSON requests.

Authorization: Bearer $SPICY_API_KEY
Sample outputUse this example
# Generate the idempotency key once; reuse it when retrying after a lost response.
export SPICY_IDEMPOTENCY_KEY="${SPICY_IDEMPOTENCY_KEY:-$(uuidgen)}"

Generated from this model’s input schema — the same one the API validates every request against.

Input parameters

Place these fields inside the request body’s input object. Names and types match the API. Do not assume a default when none is specified.

image_urlstringRequired

The opening frame. It fixes subject and composition and sets the output shape. Each side at least 300 px, aspect ratio between 1:2.5 and 2.5:1, file up to 20 MB.

Default
Not specified
Constraints
format:"uri"
contentMediaType:["image/jpeg","image/png","image/webp","image/gif"]
promptstringRequired

Required. Describe what changes after the frame - action, camera, pacing - not the frame itself.

Default
Not specified
Constraints
minLength:1
maxLength:2500
seedintegerOptional

Integer from 0 to 2147483647 for the random start; leave it out and every run draws its own. Hold it fixed while you change one thing at a time to see what that change did — it keeps the starting noise the same, not the clip frame for frame. No effect on price.

Default
Not specified
Constraints
minimum:0
maximum:2147483647
duration_secondsintegerOptionalAffects price

Whole seconds, 3 to 15. There is no closing frame, so keep the move resolvable in that time.

Default
5
Constraints
minimum:3
maximum:15
resolutionstringOptionalAffects price

720p or 1080p.

Default
"720p"
Allowed values
"720p""1080p"

Track the task

HTTP 202 means the task was accepted, not completed. Save the returned taskId and query that task. Do not create another task while waiting for its result.

Accepted response
HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted
Location: /api/v1/jobs/recordInfo?taskId=job_01k3m8x9q2z4v7n5p6r8s0t1w3

{
  "code": 200,
  "msg": "success",
  "request_id": "req_example_create",
  "data": {
    "taskId": "job_01k3m8x9q2z4v7n5p6r8s0t1w3",
    "state": "queued",
    "estimatedCost": "0.750000"
  }
}

The accepted response includes the estimate so your app can show the same amount in task history and billing.

Read the job
curl --get "https://api.spicyapi.ai/api/v1/jobs/recordInfo" \
  --data-urlencode "taskId=$TASK_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SPICY_API_KEY"

Start polling at about 2 seconds and gradually increase the interval. Stop at a terminal state. After a connection failure, query the original taskId. Retry creation only with the original idempotency key and body.

Or let the callback find you
import { verifyWebhook } from "@spicyapi/sdk";

// express.raw keeps the bytes we signed; express.json never matches.
app.post("/hooks/spicy", express.raw({ type: "application/json" }), (req, res) => {
  const { payload } = verifyWebhook({
    rawBody: req.body,
    timestamp: req.header("X-Webhook-Timestamp"),
    signature: req.header("X-Webhook-Signature"),
    payloadVersion: Number(req.header("X-Webhook-Payload-Version")),
    secret: process.env.SPICY_WEBHOOK_SECRET,
  });
  res.status(200).end();
  void handleFinishedTask(payload);
});

Pass callBackUrl when you create the task and the finished record is POSTed to you — no polling loop at all. Every delivery carries X-Webhook-Timestamp, X-Webhook-Signature and X-Webhook-Payload-Version. The signature is a base64 HMAC-SHA256 over taskId.timestamp.sha256(body), so it must be checked against the raw bytes: parsing the JSON and re-serialising it changes them and the check will fail. Failed deliveries are retried, so the same taskId can arrive twice — make the handler idempotent. Answer 2xx first and do the work afterwards; a slow handler is treated as a failed delivery.

Read the result

Consume output only when state is succeeded. On failure, use errorCode, errorMessage and request_id to investigate. Example costs and states do not represent an actual bill.

    "completedAt": "2026-08-28T12:00:30Z"
  }
}

For each available asset, open or download assets[].url directly without an API Authorization header. The signed URL expires at expiresAt; poll the task again to refresh it while the asset remains within its retention period. A pending or unavailable asset has no URL. Treat signed URLs as private.
