# Grok Imagine Video · Edit Video API

> Prompt-gesteuerte Videobearbeitung, die einen Eingabeclip neu gestaltet oder verändert, mit Ausgabe in auto, 480p oder 720p

Wendet eine textbeschriebene Bearbeitung mit bis zu 4,096 Zeichen auf ein vorhandenes Video an, das über `video_url` bereitgestellt wird. Die Eingabe wird auf eine maximale Fläche von 854x480 Pixeln herunterskaliert und auf 8 Sekunden gekürzt. `resolution` kann auto, 480p oder 720p sein. Das Ergebnis ist ein einzelnes bearbeitetes Video.

- Model id: `xai/grok-imagine-video/edit-video`
- Made by: xAI
- Category: Video to Video
- Output: video
- Price per second of your input video: from $0.06 / second of input video (cheapest run $0.06 (60 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.ru/v1/run/xai/grok-imagine-video/edit-video`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.ru/v1/quote/xai/grok-imagine-video/edit-video`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/de/developers/models/xai/grok-imagine-video/edit-video

## Pricing

Price: **from $0.06 / second of input video** (the lowest tier; the quote prices your exact input). Price per second of your input video: the input files are measured before the run (length, resolution, frame rate). The quote measures the same files and is exactly what the run charges.

Price by tier:

- 480p: $0.06 / second of input video
- auto: $0.08 / second of input video
- 720p: $0.08 / second of input video

The full example input below costs $0.64 = 640 API credits (8 s input video × $0.08 (auto)).

Prices are the upstream price in USD, paid from the API balance in API credits (1000 API credits = 1 USD). `POST https://api.doitong.ru/v1/quote/xai/grok-imagine-video/edit-video` with the same JSON body returns the exact price for that input; the quote is exactly what a run charges. Invalid input is never charged and failed or canceled requests are refunded automatically.

## Input parameters

Send either the canonical name or the native field name (not both). Canonical names are the same across models.

| Parameter | Canonical name | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values / range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `prompt` |  | string | yes |  | ≤ 4096 characters | Textbeschreibung der anzuwendenden Bearbeitung. |
| `video_url` | `video` | string (video URL) | yes |  |  | URL mit dem zu bearbeitenden Video; die Vorverarbeitung kürzt es auf 8 Sekunden und ändert seine Größe auf eine Fläche von höchstens 854x480 Pixeln. |
| `resolution` |  | enum (string) | no | `auto` | `auto`, `480p`, `720p` | Auflösung des Ausgabevideos. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Die Prüfung kann durch Setzen auf false gelockert werden, sofern der Aufrufer dazu berechtigt ist. |

File parameters (`video`) take a public `https://` URL, a `data:` URI up to 10 MB, or the `file_url` of an upload from `POST /files`.

## Example input

Required parameters only:

```json
{
  "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field",
  "video": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4"
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field",
  "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4"
}
```

## Run it

Set `DOITONG_API_KEY` to a key from https://doitong.com/developers/dashboard#keys. `?wait=20` returns the finished request in the same call when it is ready within 20 seconds; otherwise poll `GET /requests/{id}` (it also accepts `?wait=`), or pass `webhook_url`.

### curl

```bash
# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
curl -X POST "https://api.doitong.ru/v1/run/xai/grok-imagine-video/edit-video?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field",
    "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4"
  }'

# Still "queued" or "running"? Poll with the id from the response:
curl "https://api.doitong.ru/v1/requests/REQUEST_ID?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY"
```

### JavaScript

```javascript
const API = "https://api.doitong.ru/v1";
const headers = {
  "Authorization": "Bearer " + process.env.DOITONG_API_KEY,
  "Content-Type": "application/json",
};

// Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
let res = await fetch(API + "/run/xai/grok-imagine-video/edit-video?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,

  }),
});
let request = await res.json();
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(request.error.code + ": " + request.error.message);

// Not finished yet: long-poll until it is
while (request.status === "queued" || request.status === "running") {
  res = await fetch(API + "/requests/" + request.id + "?wait=20", { headers });
  request = await res.json();
}
if (request.status !== "succeeded") throw new Error(JSON.stringify(request.error));
console.log(request.outputs.map((o) => o.url), request.cost.credits + " API credits ($" + request.cost.usd + ")");
```

### Python

```python
import os
import requests

API = "https://api.doitong.ru/v1"
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + os.environ["DOITONG_API_KEY"]}

payload = {
    "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field",
    "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/xai/grok-imagine-video/edit-video", params={"wait": 20}, json=payload, headers=headers)
request = r.json()
if not r.ok:
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"]["code"] + ": " + request["error"]["message"])

# Not finished yet: long-poll until it is
while request["status"] in ("queued", "running"):
    request = requests.get(API + "/requests/" + request["id"], params={"wait": 20}, headers=headers).json()
if request["status"] != "succeeded":
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"])
print([o["url"] for o in request["outputs"]], request["cost"]["credits"], "API credits", "$" + request["cost"]["usd"])
```

### MCP

The MCP server at `https://api.doitong.ru/v1/mcp` exposes the tools `search_models`, `get_model`, `quote`, `run`, `get_request`, `cancel_request`, `list_requests`, `create_upload` and `get_account`. A `run` call for this model:

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "run",
    "arguments": {
      "model_id": "xai/grok-imagine-video/edit-video",
      "input": {
        "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field",
        "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4"
      },
      "wait_seconds": 20
    }
  }
}
```

## Response

Every call returns a request object. `status` is one of `queued`, `running`, `succeeded`, `failed`, `canceled`. `outputs` lists the generated files with URLs on our storage (kept forever, or 7 days with `?storage=temporary`; `storage` says which); `output` is the model's own result object with the same URLs.
