Leap API
H3 Max Turbo Extend APIfal's model, through Leap
Continues your video by 5, 10 or 15 seconds from a prompt that says what happens next, and returns the whole video with its new ending. One Leap key and one balance run it and every other model, priced per call in dollars.
First $5 top-up, no card fee.
- One key for every model
- Every call quoted first
- A failed call costs nothing

It uploads your video first, since inputs take file IDs, not URLs. With prefer: wait=60 the answer holds the result when the call finishes within a minute; a longer one is read again by its ID.

The answer
What comes back
A generation. Check status first: succeeded has the file in output, a signed link that works for 24 hours, so download what you keep. failed has error and failure_cause, and costs nothing. usage.cost_usd is what the call was charged.

What H3 Max Turbo Extend takes
Only video and prompt and duration are needed; everything else has a default. The same schema is public, with no key, at api.tryleap.ai/v1/public/models/fal/h3-max-turbo-extend.
MCP
Or let your agent call it.
Leap's MCP server lets Claude Code, Claude, VS Code and other MCP clients run H3 Max Turbo Extend, read its inputs and fetch the result, on your balance. Signing in happens in the browser, so there is no key to paste.
claude mcp add --transport http leap https://app.tryleap.ai/api/mcpClaude Code signs you in through the browser the first time it calls Leap.

Questions
H3 Max Turbo Extend API questions
- How much does the H3 Max Turbo Extend API cost?
- A 5-second 768P clip costs $0.27. By length and resolution, a call costs $0.17 to $3.15. That is the provider's list price plus our margin, the same as in the studio. POST /v1/quotes prices any input for free before you run it.
- Can I try the H3 Max Turbo Extend API for free?
- No. API keys run on paid credit, so a key's first call needs a top-up, and quotes are free. A 5-second 768P clip costs $0.27. A first top-up of $5, with no fee, covers 18 default calls.
- Do I pay for calls that fail?
- No. The price is held when a call starts and charged only if it succeeds. A call that fails, or that the model's safety filter refuses, comes back with status "failed" and a failure_cause, and the hold is released.
- Is this fal's own API?
- No. Leap is a separate service: it sends your call to fal's model and gives you what it makes, so you need no fal account. One Leap key runs H3 Max Turbo Extend and every other model in the catalog, from one balance.
- What are the rate limits?
- 600 requests a minute per API key and 300 a minute per IP address. A batch starts up to 50 calls in one request. A 429 says how long to wait in its Retry-After header.
- Can an AI agent call it?
- Yes. Leap's MCP server lets Claude Code, Claude, VS Code and other MCP clients find H3 Max Turbo Extend, read its inputs, run it and fetch the result on your balance. The client signs you in through the browser, so there is no key to paste.
