MakeAIVideo Ideas API

When to use the Ideas API

The step before scripting. POST /ideas returns scored video concepts for a niche, which is what a content pipeline needs when the question is what to make rather than how to make it.

POST /ai/enhance-prompt does something narrower and more useful than it sounds: it rewrites a thin topic into a fuller brief. A weak brief produces a weak script and a weak video, and the failure only becomes obvious after credits are spent, so improving the brief first is the cheapest quality gain available.

curl -X POST https://app.makeaivideo.ai/api/v1/ideas \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MAV_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "niche": "personal finance for freelancers",
    "tone": "educational",
    "count": 10
  }'

Ideas API questions

How do I generate video ideas for a niche?

POST /ideas returns scored concepts for the niche you give it, which suits a pipeline that needs a queue of topics rather than one at a time.

Will a better prompt actually improve the video?

It is the cheapest lever available. A thin brief produces a thin script, and you only find out after rendering, so POST /ai/enhance-prompt rewrites the brief before any credits are committed.
