MiniMax-M2 API Overview

MiniMax-M2 exposes RESTful endpoints from this deployment so you can run benchmark-grade reasoning and agent workflows without leaving your own stack. The API surface mirrors familiar OpenAI- and Anthropic-style contracts while enforcing this site’s authentication and billing.

• Base URL: https://minimax-m2.com/api/v1
• Authentication: API key issued from the dashboard (Authorization: Bearer <key> for OpenAI-style calls, x-api-key for Anthropic-style calls)
• Models: MiniMax-M2
• Pricing (launch window): Free tier for hosted chat/API evaluation, then $0.50 / million input tokens, $1.50 / million output tokens

Supported Endpoint Families

• Chat Completions (POST /api/v1/chat/completions): OpenAI-compatible chat API. Supports streaming responses via Server-Sent Events.
• Messages (POST /api/v1/messages): Claude-compatible request body/response format. Currently supports non-stream responses.

HTTP Environments

Use HTTPS in production. For local testing, the same routes are available on your development server (e.g., http://localhost:3000/api/v1/...).

Authentication Summary

Create API keys in the dashboard and send them with each request:

Authorization: Bearer <api-key>

or for Claude-compatible endpoints:

x-api-key: <api-key>
Anthropic-Version: 2023-06-01
