# Use MiniMax H3 with Comfy Router

> Call minimax/minimax-h3 through Comfy Router: endpoint, request shape and the response Router returns.

API Reference for `minimax/minimax-h3`, served by Comfy Router from MiniMax.

## Quick start

Create a key in [your Comfy workspace](https://platform.comfy.org/profile/api-keys) and export it as `COMFY_API_KEY`. The Python and TypeScript snippets use the Comfy SDKs (`pip install comfy-sdk`, `npm install @comfyorg/sdk`); the cURL snippet is the same call over raw HTTP.

**Model ID:** `minimax/minimax-h3`

**Endpoint:** `POST https://api.comfy.org/v2/models/minimax/minimax-h3`

  <Tab title="Queue and collect later">
    <Note>
      Queued delivery is rolling out per workspace. Until yours is enabled, the submit route answers `403` with `X-Comfy-Error-Type: not_enabled`. Nothing about the request is wrong, and the same body works through the synchronous route in the meantime.
    </Note>

    The same body, sent to `POST https://api.comfy.org/v2/models/minimax/minimax-h3/requests`. Router answers `201` with a `request_id` as soon as the run is admitted, and the result is collected once it is ready, from this process or another one. [Queued delivery](/development/comfy-router/queue) walks through status, cancellation and collection.

## Before you ship

The SDKs create an `Idempotency-Key` and reuse it for automatic retries. For manual retries, reuse the original key. Router can hold the connection for up to 10 minutes.

When a request fails, Router sends an `X-Comfy-Error-Type` response header explaining why. A `422` means Router rejected the input before calling the provider. Download generated assets promptly because [result URLs can expire](/development/comfy-router/reference#result-assets).
