| Pitfall | Details |
|---|---|
| All template variables required | HEYGEN_V2_TEMPLATE_GENERATE demands every variable from HEYGEN_RETRIEVE_TEMPLATE_DETAILS_V3 with exact names and types -- missing or misnamed fields break scenes or fail generation |
| Always inspect templates first | Never skip HEYGEN_RETRIEVE_TEMPLATE_DETAILS_V3 before generation -- multi-scene templates have complex variable structures |
| Video URLs expire | URLs from HEYGEN_RETRIEVE_VIDEO_STATUS_DETAILS expire after 7 days; regenerate by calling the endpoint again |
| Paginated avatar lists | HEYGEN_V2_AVATARS may return paginated results -- additional calls may be needed for the full library |
| Processing time varies | Video generation is asynchronous; poll HEYGEN_RETRIEVE_VIDEO_STATUS_DETAILS until status is complete before using output URLs |
| Tool Slug | Purpose |
|---|---|
HEYGEN_V2_TEMPLATES | List available video templates |
HEYGEN_RETRIEVE_TEMPLATE_DETAILS_V3 | Get template variables and scene structure |
