HappyHorse 1.1 runs through POST /v1/videos/generations. The request returns a job_id right away; poll GET /v1/jobs/{job_id} until the job completes and read the output URLs from the result. Both models are called through the same endpoint. Set model to happyhorse-1-1 or happyhorse-1-0. Get an API key from the EmpirioLabs dashboard.
