Hailuo API Python SDK for RunAPI

The Hailuo Python SDK is the language-specific package for Hailuo on RunAPI. Use this package for video generation, animation, and video editing workflows when your application needs request bodies, task status lookup, and consistent RunAPI errors in Python.

This README is the Python package guide inside the public hailuo-sdk repository. For the repository overview, start at ../README.md; for model details, use https://runapi.ai/models/hailuo; for API reference, use https://runapi.ai/docs/api/hailuo/text-to-video; for SDK docs, use https://runapi.ai/docs/resources/sdks.

Install

pip install runapi-hailuo

Quick start

from runapi.hailuo import HailuoClient

client = HailuoClient()  # reads RUNAPI_API_KEY, or pass api_key="sk-..."

task = client.text_to_video.create(
    model="hailuo-02-text-to-video-standard",
    prompt="A cinematic drone shot over a coastal city at dusk",
)
status = client.text_to_video.get(task.id)

video = client.image_to_video.create(
    model="hailuo-2.3-image-to-video-standard",
    prompt="Slowly zoom in as the waves roll",
    first_frame_image_url="https://cdn.runapi.ai/public/samples/image.jpg",
)

Use create to submit a task and return quickly, get to fetch the latest task state, and run to create and poll until completion:

result = client.text_to_video.run(
    model="hailuo-02-text-to-video-standard",
    prompt="A futuristic cityscape at dusk",
)
print(result.videos[0].url)

In web request handlers, prefer create plus webhook or later get polling so a worker is not held open.

RunAPI-generated file URLs are temporary. Download and store generated images, videos, audio, or other files in your own durable storage within 7 days; do not treat returned URLs as long-term assets.

Language notes

Pass parameters as keyword arguments and catch the runapi.hailuo error classes when building video jobs or scripts. The available resources are text_to_video and image_to_video. Keep RUNAPI_API_KEY in the environment or your secret manager; never commit API keys or callback secrets.
