# Meta Muse Video API Launch: Pricing and Setup

> Meta's Muse video models are live on LaoZhang API: per-video prices for muse-video, muse-video-20s and muse-video-30s, token settings, and your first clip.

Meta's Muse video generation is now available on LaoZhang API. Any standard token group can call it, a 5–10 second clip costs \$0.30, and you can also generate one continuous 20- or 30-second clip.

## Key facts

| Item | Details |
| - | - |
| Model IDs | `muse-video`, `muse-video-20s`, `muse-video-30s` |
| Create a task | `POST /v1/videos` |
| Get a task | `GET /v1/videos/{id}` |
| Token | `default`, `vip`, or `svip` group; Usage first or Per-call billing mode |
| Price | \$0.30, \$0.55, or \$0.80 per video |
| Capabilities | Text-to-video, first frame and first/last frames, reference images, video continuation; every clip has a soundtrack |
| Route | Meta's official API has no video generation model yet; this route is integrated independently and priced on its own |

## Pricing

| Model | Clip length | Per video |
| - | - | -: |
| `muse-video` | 5, 8, or 10 s | \$0.30 |
| `muse-video-20s` | 20 s; adds 10 s when continuing a video | \$0.55 |
| `muse-video-30s` | 30 s; adds 20 s when continuing a video | \$0.80 |

* The price is per video, whatever the aspect ratio and whether you send images.
* Failed tasks are refunded in full, and requests rejected at submission are not charged.
* See [Pricing in the Muse video guide](https://docs.laozhang.ai/en/api-capabilities/muse-video-generation.md#pricing) for the full rules.

## Who is affected

* **Anyone who wants Muse video**: existing tokens in the `default`, `vip`, and `svip` groups work as they are. You do not need a Meta account or a new group.
* **Tokens set to Usage-based only**: cannot call these models. Switch the billing mode to Usage first or Per-call.
* **Other video models**: MiniMax H3, Wan, and Seedance keep their prices and request formats.

## Get started

**1. Prepare a token**

In [Token management](https://api.laozhang.ai/token), use or create a token in the `default` group with the Usage first billing mode.

**2. Create a task**

```bash theme={null}
curl -s -X POST "https://api.laozhang.ai/v1/videos" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LAOZHANG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data-raw '{
    "model": "muse-video",
    "prompt": "A lighthouse on a rocky coast at dawn, waves crashing on the rocks, a few seagulls flying past, slow push-in, cinematic lighting",
    "seconds": "10",
    "aspect_ratio": "16:9"
  }'
```

The response contains the task `id`.

**3. Poll and download**

Poll `GET /v1/videos/{id}` every 15 seconds. When `status` is `completed`, download the MP4 from `video_url`. Video links stay available for 7 days.

For first frames, first and last frames, reference images, and continuation, see the [Meta Muse Video API guide](https://docs.laozhang.ai/en/api-capabilities/muse-video-generation.md).

## FAQ

### How long does a clip take?

Clips up to 10 seconds usually finish in 2–3 minutes and can take more than 5 at busy times; 20- and 30-second clips take longer. The API is asynchronous, so submitting and polling return immediately and need no longer HTTP timeout. Keep polling for up to 30 minutes and do not resubmit while the task runs, or you will be charged again. A task still unfinished after 40 minutes is marked failed and refunded.

### Can I get 1080p?

No. Output is 1280×720 in landscape and 720×1280 in portrait, at 24 fps.

### How do I choose between video models?

Choose Muse for a fixed price per video, a continuous 20- or 30-second clip, or continuing an existing video. Choose MiniMax H3 for 2K, reference video, or reference audio, and Seedance for 1080p or footage of real people. The guide's [model comparison](https://docs.laozhang.ai/en/api-capabilities/muse-video-generation.md#choose-between-video-models) has the details.
