Does Meta Muse have a video API?

Meta has no Muse video API: its official Model API sells the Muse Image model and the Muse Wonder and Muse Spark text models, and none of them outputs video. The 10-second videos with sound that Muse makes at muse.ai are reached through third-party tools that drive the Muse agent on your own account, such as the hosted useapi.net Muse API.

There are three kinds of options:

  1. Meta’s Model API, if you need Muse images or the Muse text models. It sells Muse Image at $0.01 per image, and Muse Wonder (launched on October 12, 2026) at $4 per million input tokens and $20 per million output tokens (Meta pricing, TechCrunch).
  2. Free self-hosted tools, such as muse2api, an open-source server that wraps muse.ai in OpenAI-compatible endpoints, and local MCP bridges such as Muse-Chat-MCP, which drives your logged-in Chrome. You run them on your own machine or server.
  3. Hosted APIs: per-request resellers such as museai.suncodevn.com, which sell credit packs, and the useapi.net Muse API, which runs on your own Muse account for a flat monthly fee, over REST and as a hosted MCP server.

This page is written by the useapi.net maintainers and compares what each option offers from its own documentation.

From each option’s own documentation and pricing on October 18, 2026: Meta models and pricing, muse2api v1.6.1, and museai.suncodevn.com’s published plans as the per-request example (on your own Meta account it charges 4 credits a video on its Developer and Pro plans). useapi.net is a third-party API and is not affiliated with Meta.

Why useapi.net for Meta Muse video

  • Videos with sound. POST /jobs/video makes a video of about 10 seconds at about 720p from text, a photo or another video. Lines written in quotes are spoken, so a single photo becomes a talking photo, and a person in a clip can be swapped for someone from a photo.
  • Chat with the Muse agent. POST /chats talks to the whole agent at muse.ai, with its answers streamed live over Server-Sent Events, and you can watch and take over its web browser.
  • A hosted MCP server, 37 tools. Add it to Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code with one line. It is listed in the official MCP Registry as net.useapi/muse, and there is nothing to install.
  • Nothing to run on your machine. No server to deploy, no browser to keep open and no extension to install. Jobs keep running when your laptop is off.
  • Sign in once with email and password. You add the account once, and we keep it signed in and renew its 30-day Muse session, with no cookies to copy or refresh.
  • Your own Muse account, the free plan works. Generations use the account’s weekly Muse allowance, about 2 to 3 percent per video on the free plan in our tests.
  • Several accounts, picked for you. Each subscription adds 3 Muse accounts. A job without an email goes to a healthy account with allowance left and a free slot.
  • Jobs and webhooks. Wait for the finished file, or send async: true and get the job record posted to your replyUrl.
  • Ready-made n8n template and an agent skill, for a flat $15/month that covers every useapi.net API, with no per-image or per-video charge from us.

A Muse video made through the useapi.net API: the rider from a photo swapped into a clip Muse made from a still image. Every request is in the tutorial.

How to start

What the Muse account needs:

  • Muse is available only in the US and Canada (Meta), so create the account there. Once it is added, you can call the API from anywhere.
  • Finish Muse’s onboarding at muse.ai, including Meta’s age check, and create one image there.
  • The account must have email + password sign-in, because the API signs in with the email and password. A Meta account that signs in only with an emailed code has no password yet: create one in Meta Accounts Center (Password and security), then add the account here. Without a password the add is refused with 400.
  • Use the account only for the API, with no other automation tools on it. Opening it at muse.ai in a browser is fine.

Then:

  1. Get a useapi.net API token.
  2. Add your Muse account once with Setup Muse. The free Muse plan works.
  3. Make a 10-second video with sound in one call:
curl -X POST https://api.useapi.net/v1/muse/jobs/video \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $USEAPI_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt": "A golden retriever runs along a beach at sunset while the camera tracks beside it. A man off screen calls: \"Good boy, come here!\" In exactly 16:9 aspect ratio."}'

The request waits for the video, which took 60 to 140 seconds in our tests, and answers with the job record. The video is the first assetId in result.assets[]: download it with GET /assets/assetId. A slower job answers 202, and you fetch it with GET /jobs/jobid.

Or add the MCP server to Claude Code with one line:

claude mcp add --transport http useapi-muse https://api.useapi.net/v1/muse/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"

Frequently asked questions

Is there a Muse API? Yes, two kinds. Meta’s official Model API sells the Muse Image model at $0.01 per image, but as of October 2026 it has no video generation and no API for the Muse agent at muse.ai, where the videos are made. For the videos, images and chat of the Muse agent, the useapi.net Muse API drives it on your own account.

Is there a Meta Muse API key? Meta’s developer platform at dev.meta.ai gives keys for its Model API models: Muse Image, Muse Wonder and Muse Spark. For Muse videos and the agent, you use a useapi.net API token and add your Muse account once with its email and password.

Is there a Muse AI video generator API? Yes, through useapi.net. POST /jobs/video makes an MP4 of about 10 seconds at about 720p with sound, from a prompt, up to 9 images, 3 videos or 3 audio files. Write a line in quotes and it is spoken. Say the aspect ratio in the prompt, for example in exactly 9:16 aspect ratio.

What is a good muse2api alternative? If you would rather not run a server, the useapi.net Muse API is hosted: no Docker, no browser extension and no cookies to push. You add the account with its email and password, and we renew the session. It has image and video jobs with webhooks, streamed chat with the agent, and a hosted MCP server with 37 tools.

Is there a free Muse API? Meta charges $0.01 per image on its Model API and has no video model. muse2api is free and open source, and you host it yourself. The useapi.net API is a flat $15/month for every useapi.net API, works on the free Muse plan, and has a full refund within 14 days if you made fewer than 50 successful generations.

Is useapi.net Meta’s official Muse API? No. useapi.net is an independent, third-party API, not affiliated with or endorsed by Meta. It runs on a Muse account you own and add yourself.
