Higgsfield API
Higgsfield's pay-per-generation API for image and video models such as Genjutsu, Soul, Seedance and Kling.
Higgsfield API gives developers one asynchronous API for image and video models, from Higgsfield's own Genjutsu and Soul to Seedance, Kling and Wan. It is pay-per-generation with no subscriptions or seat fees: you top up a balance, and Genjutsu, for example, is listed from $0.318 a second, or $0.159 at the maximum discount.
About Higgsfield API
You send a generation request to a model endpoint, Higgsfield handles the queueing, GPUs and scaling, and you poll a status URL or receive a webhook until the generated file's URL is ready. Every model uses the same authentication and request lifecycle, and Higgsfield provides official Python and Node.js/TypeScript SDKs, with TypeScript, Python and cURL examples in the docs.
The catalog mixes models marked Higgsfield Exclusive, such as Genjutsu, which swaps characters, locations and styles in a video while keeping its motion, Soul 2 for portrait and fashion images and the Ads Studio workflow for ads, with third-party models such as Seedance 2.5, Kling 4.0, MiniMax H3, Wan 3.0, Grok Imagine 2.0, Ideogram 4.0 and Recraft 4.1. The pricing table lists 33 models, and the docs say model availability depends on your account.
Each model's price is listed before you run it, per second of video or per image, and the pricing page shows a list price next to a lower max-discount price; volume discounts apply automatically as usage grows. An estimate endpoint returns the cost of a request for your account before you submit it, and queued requests can be canceled before processing starts for a refund.
For AI agents, model pages have a Copy for agent option, and MCP and CLI integrations let supported agents and coding tools work with Higgsfield. Personal and team workspaces share API usage, API credentials can be created, rotated or revoked in the dashboard, analytics break spend down by day, model and workflow, and invoice-based billing is available on a committed-use contract.

Higgsfield API pros and cons
Pros
- There are no subscriptions or seat fees, the playground is free, and you can create an API key without talking to sales.
- Failed, timed-out and NSFW-flagged requests are not charged, and any amount reserved for them is refunded automatically.
- Higgsfield says moving from fal or Replicate keeps the same submit, check-status and fetch-result workflow, with credentials, endpoints and model parameters to update.
Cons
- Funds added to your balance expire one year after they are added.
- Higgsfield keeps request files for seven days after a request finishes and then deletes them, so results you want to keep must be downloaded.
- Generation is asynchronous only: every integration has to poll a status URL or handle a webhook to get its output.
- Rate limits depend on your account and the model, and higher limits mean contacting support or sales.
