HeyGen API (Deprecated)

This skill is deprecated. Use the focused skills instead:

create-video — Generate videos from a text prompt (Video Agent API, POST /v3/video-agents)

avatar-video — Build videos with specific avatars, voices, scripts, and scenes (v3 API, POST /v3/videos)

Warning: The endpoints documented below are v1/v2 and deprecated. The replacement skills above use the current v3 API.

This skill remains for backward compatibility but will be removed in a future release.

AI avatar video creation API for generating talking-head videos, explainers, and presentations.

Tool Selection

If HeyGen MCP tools are available (mcp__heygen__*), prefer them over direct HTTP API calls — they handle authentication and request formatting automatically.
