Hinto API v2
The Hinto API lets you automate your entire content workflow programmatically: upload videos, generate articles, manage folders, publish projects, and more.
v1 is deprecated. The v1 API (/api/external/v1) still works but will not receive new features. All new integrations should use v2.
What you can do with the API
- Upload or import videos — from your disk or any public URL
- Generate articles — turn a video into structured documentation with one call
- Manage content — create, update, move, and delete articles and folders
- Publish — publish or unpublish your project and individual articles
- Export — download your project as ZIP (HTML or Markdown) or as LLM-optimized text
- Webhooks — receive notifications when async jobs complete
Getting started
- Open your project in the Hinto app
- Go to Settings → API Keys & Webhooks
- Click New API Key, choose the scopes you need, and copy the key
- Use the key in the X-API-Key header on every request
