}Animate a template or image (invite-only beta)
Turns a meme template's blank image (or one of your stored meme images) into a 5-second video clip using MiniMax H3 Max. Asynchronous: returns 202 with a job_id immediately — poll GET /v1/animate/{job_id} (~every 2-3s; most clips finish in 10-40s). A fixed system directive keeps the output true to the source image and keeps text out of the video (add captions after, as a static overlay). Popular template+motion pairs are cached: repeats return instantly as status 'completed' with cached: true for 2 credits. Costs 10 credits (480P) or 16 (768P), charged at submit and refunded automatically if generation fails. Beta access is per-key — ask us to enable it. Limits: 20 clips per rolling 24h per key, 2 jobs in flight, image_url restricted to createa.meme storage hosts.
Trending templates and topics
Trending templates plus platform momentum, expressed as relative metrics. Templates are ranked by real platform demand (heat: 0-100 normalized to the trailing-30d most-generated template, plus last_generated_at recency); usage_30d is a static library-seed baseline. The `pulse` object carries momentum without volumes: velocity_7d (week-over-week % change), activity_mix_7d (% share by generation kind: ai_original / template / remix), and template_breadth_7d (% of the verified library generated-from this week). `topics` remains reserved (empty) until the topics feed ships. Free.
