Creating Personalised Custom Avatar using the HeyGen API
2 months ago by Rishab Pan
Hey,
We've an use case where we want to create personalised avatars for our clients via API. I tried to search in the API documentation, but could not find anything related to creating a video Avatar via API. The public documentation talks about how to create videos using already created custom video avatars manually.
So, I have a few questions on this:
- Does HeyGen provide this functionality of creation of custom video avatars using API? If yes then can you refer me to the documentation page for that? Which API plan ( normal, scale, agency, enterprise ) supports this, is it only for Agency/Enterprise plans?
- I was thinking about an alternative way where maybe I can onboard my clients manually and create their avatars manually ( through usual dashboard ) and then use API for creating their videos. In that case, do I need to purchase two different plans? One to use the dashboard and one to use the APIs. Because as per my understanding HeyGen's dashboard plans and API plans are separate.
- Even when I'm using the HeyGen APIs with custom avatars already created beforehand, how many number of custom avatars I'm allowed to create? Or how many custom video avatars I'm allowed to create with the APIs plans?
