<!-- agent-model-guide-section: prompt_terminal owner=API-1808 state=ready -->
## Prompt

Prerequisite: `npx runapi mcp install`

```text
You have access to RunAPI task tools for HeyGen Video.

Available HeyGen Video models:
- heygen-video-1: heygen-video-1
  endpoints: /api/v1/heygen_video/text_to_video, /api/v1/heygen_video/image_to_video
  request fields: model, prompt, output_resolution, aspect_ratio

Use the model ID and endpoint that match the user's request.
Example prompt: Generate a 10-second 1080p product video of a ceramic mug on a sunlit kitchen counter, using the reference image to keep the mug design consistent and adding soft ambient sound.
/api/v1/heygen_video/text_to_video: Submit the task, poll for its status, then verify the completed output. POST /api/v1/heygen_video/text_to_video and save the returned Task id.
GET /api/v1/heygen_video/text_to_video/<task-id> until status is completed or failed.
Verify the completed response contains the endpoint-specific output documented in the API reference.
/api/v1/heygen_video/image_to_video: Submit the task, poll for its status, then verify the completed output. POST /api/v1/heygen_video/image_to_video and save the returned Task id.
GET /api/v1/heygen_video/image_to_video/<task-id> until status is completed or failed.
Verify the completed response contains the endpoint-specific output documented in the API reference.
```

## Public Versions and Endpoints

| Model ID | Version | Endpoints | Price |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `heygen-video-1` | heygen-video-1 | /api/v1/heygen_video/text_to_video, /api/v1/heygen_video/image_to_video | $0.09 / second |


<!-- agent-model-guide-section: verify_code_block owner=API-1824 state=runtime_fallback -->

## Verify

Poll until the task reaches a terminal status

```
POST /api/v1/heygen_video/text_to_video and save the returned Task id.
GET /api/v1/heygen_video/text_to_video/<task-id> until status is completed or failed.
Verify the completed response contains the endpoint-specific output documented in the API reference.
```



## Configuration

Set `RUNAPI_API_KEY`, then create a request with `<model-id>` at `<endpoint>`. Poll only when the endpoint returns an asynchronous Task.

```shell
export RUNAPI_API_KEY=your_api_key

curl -X POST https://runapi.ai/api/v1/heygen_video/text_to_video \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $RUNAPI_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "model": "heygen-video-1",
  "prompt": "A plant supervisor in a plain grey coat stands beside a conveyor line and speaks to camera.",
  "output_resolution": "768p",
  "aspect_ratio": "16:9"
}'
```


<!-- agent-model-guide-section: three_step_flow owner=API-1830 state=ready -->

## Get Started in 3 Steps

1. **Choose a model ID.** Select a public catalog model ID and review its endpoint and current starting price.
2. **Configure RunAPI.** Set RUNAPI_API_KEY before making the endpoint request.
3. **Verify the result.** For asynchronous endpoints, poll the same endpoint until the Task reaches a terminal status.

## Hermes Agent + HeyGen Video Questions

### What is the HeyGen Video API model ID?

Send heygen-video-1 as the model value. The text-to-video endpoint takes a prompt and optional reference images, videos, or audio; the image-to-video endpoint takes a prompt and a first-frame image.

### Which HeyGen Video inputs are supported?

Use a text prompt, a first-frame image, or reference images, videos, and audio clips. Outputs support 5 to 15 seconds at 480p, 768p, 1080p, or 2K, and include generated sound.

### Does HeyGen Video generate audio?

Yes. Every clip includes generated dialogue, ambience, and effects from the same request.

### How is HeyGen Video billed on RunAPI?

Billing is per second of video. The pricing table on this page lists the current rate for each resolution and input type, and failed generations are not charged.

### Is this the HeyGen avatar API?

No. HeyGen Video is HeyGen's general video model and builds the whole scene, sound included, from a prompt or images. Talking-avatar videos made from a script and a chosen voice come from HeyGen's separate avatar API, which RunAPI does not offer.

### Which model ID should I use?

Choose a public model ID from the version table. Each ID exposes the endpoints shown for that version.

### Does this guide configure a chat model?

No. This Model Line uses the endpoint workflow shown here and is not presented as an agent chat model.
