Beat API
Beat API is a paid API platform that provides AI-powered video generation for product teams, with a focus on music videos and ecommerce videos. It offers a suite of asynchronous workflow APIs that accept inputs such as audio, images, prompts, and lyrics, then handle the entire video generation pipeline—returning a hosted MP4 URL. This eliminates the need for teams to build custom infrastructure for queueing, polling, storage, and webhook integration. The platform supports a variety of AI video models, including MiniMax H3, Seedance 2.5, Veo 3.1, and Kling 3.0, as well as AI image models and a realtime video API. Beat API also provides specialized workflow endpoints for music video generation, ecommerce video ads, and video analysis. Developers can submit one request with all required assets, receive a task_id, and use webhooks to track progress and retrieve the final rendered video. Beat API is designed for music apps, artist platforms, creator tools, and marketing campaigns that need scalable, product-ready AI video features without the overhead of building AI orchestration from scratch. The service is fully hosted and priced on a per-video or per-second basis, making it suitable for both startups and enterprises.
