FAQ

How do I call MiniMax Voice Clone through SandBase?

Create a SandBase API key, then send requests with the model ID "minimax/voice-clone" to Unified Run API (/v1/run) at https://api.sandbase.ai. The request examples on this page show the exact payload.

Do I need a separate MiniMax account?

No. One SandBase API key and balance gives you access to MiniMax Voice Clone and the other models in the catalog; you do not need to sign up with MiniMax separately.
