Connect Claude & ChatGPT to BeatAPI

Ask your AI to turn product photos into a video, apply an effect to images, or find a model in BeatAPI's catalog and run it. It follows each generation task until the result is ready. It can also search and read the web, map a website, answer a research question with sources and fetch public social media data.

Questions

What can the AI do in BeatAPI?

It can create product videos and effect videos, analyze a video, search and run capabilities from BeatAPI's catalog, and check generation tasks. It can list effects, image, video and text models and workflows, search and read the web, map a website, research a question, fetch public social media data and read your usage.

Does the AI see my BeatAPI API key?

No. Your BeatAPI API key is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can allow lookups and research but leave generation off. Tools that start generation tasks can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your HeyMyApps link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

HeyMyApps has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own BeatAPI account.

Does generating videos use my BeatAPI credits?

Yes. Product videos, effect videos and other generation runs use credits on your BeatAPI account. The AI can check your usage with the get_usage tool, and you can require approval before any generation task starts.
