Getting Started

Setting up Hailuo AI 02 takes just a few minutes. Here's how to begin:

1. Install the client library for your preferred language:

bash
# JavaScript/Node.js
npm install --save @fal-ai/client

# Python
pip install fal-client

2. Configure your authentication:

javascript
// JavaScript
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

fal.config({
  credentials: "YOUR_FAL_KEY_HERE"
});

python
# Python
import os
os.environ["FAL_KEY"] = "YOUR_FAL_KEY_HERE"

Basic Implementation

Here's a simple example of generating video from an image:

javascript
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

const result = await fal.subscribe("fal-ai/minimax/hailuo-02/standard/image-to-video", {
  input: {
    image_url: "YOUR_IMAGE_URL",
    prompt: "Describe the motion you want to add"
  }
});

Advanced Usage

The model supports several parameters to fine-tune your video output:

javascript
const result = await fal.subscribe("fal-ai/minimax/hailuo-02/standard/image-to-video", {
  input: {
    image_url: "https://your-image-url.jpg",
    prompt: "A gentle breeze moving through the scene",
    prompt_optimizer: true,
    duration: 6,  // seconds
    resolution: "768P"
  }
});

Queue-Based Processing

For handling asynchronous generation:

javascript
// Submit request
const { request_id } = await fal.queue.submit("fal-ai/minimax/hailuo-02/standard/image-to-video", {
  input: {
    image_url: "YOUR_IMAGE_URL",
    prompt: "Your motion description"
  },
  webhookUrl: "https://optional.webhook.url/for/results"
});

// Check status
const status = await fal.queue.status("fal-ai/minimax/hailuo-02/standard/image-to-video", {
  requestId: request_id,
  logs: true
});

// Get result
const result = await fal.queue.result("fal-ai/minimax/hailuo-02/standard/image-to-video", {
  requestId: request_id
});
