How do I find my HeyGen API Key?

Log in to your HeyGen account, navigate to **User Settings**, and select the **Developer** tab. You will be able to generate and copy your unique API key from there.

How can I generate a video using a template?

First, use `list_templates` to find the template you want. Then, use the `generate_from_template` tool by providing the template ID and a JSON string mapping the variables (like text or image URLs) you want to replace.

Can I translate existing videos into other languages?

Yes! Use the `translate_video` tool. You must provide the source video URL and the target language code. HeyGen will generate a new version of the video with the translated audio and lip-syncing.

Is the integration secure for creative data?

Absolutely. The integration uses official HeyGen API keys over HTTPS. Your credentials are encrypted and stored securely within the Vinkius Cloud infrastructure.
