How to

How to use the WaveSpeedAI API

Four steps from signup to a finished generation. Full Python, Node.js, and cURL examples are in the API section below.

  1. 01

    Get an API key

    Sign up for a WaveSpeedAI account and copy your API key from the dashboard. New accounts come with free starter credits — enough to run the playground a few dozen times before billing kicks in.

  2. 02

    Submit a prediction

    POST your input as JSON to https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/bytedance/seedance-2.5/text-to-video. The endpoint returns a prediction id immediately — generations are async so you don't hold an open connection during inference.

  3. 03

    Poll for completion

    GET https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/predictions/{request_id}/result. Return outputs on completed; stop with an error on failed, cancelled, timeout, or deleted; continue polling for every other status.

  4. 04

    Read the output URL

    Once status is"completed", read the URL from data.outputs[0]. The URL points to your generated media on the WaveSpeedAI CDN — image, video, audio, or 3D file depending on the model variant you called.

Use cases

What you can build with these models

Common workflows developers and creators use these APIs for.

01

Move a Higgsfield API integration in an afternoon

Both APIs are asynchronous: submit JSON, get a request id, then poll or take a webhook. On WaveSpeedAI you POST to /api/v3/<model> with a Bearer API key and read the prediction result, so porting is mostly a change of base URL, auth header, and model path.

migrationasyncwebhooks
02

Image and video in one pipeline

Generate stills with Nano Banana Pro, Seedream 5.0, or GPT Image 2.5, then animate them with Seedance 2.5, Kling 3.0, or Wan 3.0 image-to-video, on one key and one balance. Higgsfield API's published catalog does not list Nano Banana, Seedream, or GPT Image.

Long single shots and tiered video

Seedance 2.5 renders single shots up to 30 seconds with native audio; Kling 3.0 and Kling O3 come in Standard, Pro, and 4K tiers; Wan 3.0 adds a Prime tier. Pick per shot from the same integration.

Agents and batch jobs

Call every model from Python or JavaScript SDKs, plain HTTP, the CLI, or an MCP server, so coding agents and batch scripts use the same endpoints and prices as your app.

Tips

Tips for prompting these models

Practical advice for getting better outputs from these models — drawn from the patterns that work across video models in production pipelines.

  1. 01

    Be specific about camera moves

    Mention concrete cinematography vocabulary — orbit, dolly-in, push-in, pan-left, crane shot, handheld follow. Generic prompts produce static or arbitrary camera choices; named camera moves map directly to motion intent in the model's training data and dramatically improve shot quality.

  2. 02

    Anchor character identity with reference images

    If your prompt depends on a specific person, character, or product, upload a reference image alongside the prompt. Without a reference, identity drifts across frames and across shots — the same character ends up looking like a slightly different person each generation.

  3. 03

    Describe lighting and time of day

    Lighting cues like 'golden hour, soft warm directional light' or 'overcast diffused light, slate-grey sky' improve quality and consistency far more than vague quality modifiers. Lighting is one of the strongest priors the model conditions on.

  4. 04

    Use negative prompts to suppress common failure modes

    Useful negatives for video: 'frame flicker, motion blur, watermark, text artifacts, distorted hands, low resolution, jpeg compression'. Negative prompts cost nothing and noticeably reduce the rate of generations you'd otherwise re-roll.

  5. 05

    Pick the shortest duration that captures your beat

    Most prompts work best at 5-8 seconds. Longer clips amplify temporal inconsistencies (subject morphing, environment drift). If you need a 20-second sequence, generate three 6-8 second clips and edit them together — quality stays higher than one long generation.

  6. 06

    Match aspect ratio to platform up front

    9:16 for TikTok / Reels / Shorts, 16:9 for landscape feeds and YouTube, 1:1 for post grids. Models train slightly differently per aspect ratio — cropping a 16:9 to 9:16 after the fact loses both fidelity and the composition the model intended.

Pricing

WaveSpeedAI API pricing

Pricing is per-output. The final charge scales with the parameters you set in each variant's playground (resolution, duration, output count, references).

Higgsfield API lists 82 image and video entries, including its own Soul and Cinema Studio models plus Seedance, Kling, Wan, MiniMax, and Qwen Image. WaveSpeedAI covers those third-party families and adds Nano Banana, Seedream, GPT Image, Veo, audio, 3D, and language models: 1,000+ in total.

WaveSpeedAI vs Higgsfield API: credits

Higgsfield API funds expire one year after purchase. WaveSpeedAI credits never expire, and there is no membership or subscription: top up when you need to and pay per request, with each endpoint's price on its model page and in the pricing table on this page. The same credits also pay for the browser studios.

WaveSpeedAI vs Higgsfield API: open models

Both list MiniMax H3. On WaveSpeedAI it is the open-weights model hosted by WaveSpeedAI, with LoRA, reference-to-video, edit, extend, and image endpoints next to the standard text-to-video and image-to-video.

FAQ

Higgsfield API Alternative — Frequently asked questions

Models, pricing, migration — common questions about moving from the Higgsfield API to WaveSpeedAI.

Is WaveSpeedAI an alternative to the Higgsfield API?

Yes. WaveSpeedAI serves Seedance 2.5 and 2.0, Kling 3.0 and O3, Wan 3.0, MiniMax H3, and Qwen Image 3.0 as REST endpoints, plus Seedream 5.0, Nano Banana 2 and Pro, and GPT Image 2.5 and 2, with one API key and pay-per-request pricing.

Which models can I call that the Higgsfield API does not list?

Higgsfield API's published model catalog does not include Nano Banana, Seedream, GPT Image, Veo, or audio models. On WaveSpeedAI, Nano Banana 2 and Pro, Seedream 5.0, GPT Image 2.5 and 2, Veo 3.1, and ElevenLabs voices sit behind the same key as the video models.

How do I switch from the Higgsfield API?

Create a key at /accesskey, then POST your input as JSON to https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/<model> with an Authorization: Bearer header. You get a prediction id back; poll https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/predictions/<id>/result or pass a webhook. Map each model to its WaveSpeedAI path from the endpoint list on this page.

Is MiniMax H3 on WaveSpeedAI the open-weights model?

Yes. The wavespeed-ai/minimax-h3 endpoints run the open-weights MiniMax H3 on WaveSpeedAI, including LoRA variants for custom styles and characters, reference-to-video, video edit and extend, and a text-to-image mode.

Do I need a membership or subscription, and do credits expire?

No membership and no subscription. WaveSpeedAI is pay as you go: top up credits when you need them and pay per request at the price shown on each model page and in the pricing table above. Credits never expire. Eligible new accounts get free starter credits.

How do I call these APIs?

Sign up for a WaveSpeedAI account, copy your API key from /accesskey, then POST your input as JSON to https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/<model>, for example https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/bytedance/seedance-2.5/text-to-video. The endpoint returns a prediction id. Poll the result endpoint or pass a webhook. Python / Node.js / cURL examples are above.

How much do these APIs cost?

The endpoints on this page start at $0.024 per run; each model's price is in the pricing table above and on its model page. The exact cost scales with the parameters you set (resolution, duration, output count, references), and the playground shows it before you submit.
