## Pricing

Price: **$0.0107 / 1000 tokens**. Charged by actual usage at $0.0107 / 1000 tokens: up to $6.944 per run (the quote gives the maximum for your input), the rest is refunded automatically after the run.

The full example input below holds up to $6.944 = 6944 API credits (up to 648.9 × 1000 tokens × $0.0107) when it starts.

Prices are the upstream price in USD, paid from the API balance in API credits (1000 API credits = 1 USD). This model is charged by usage: `POST https://api.doitong.ru/v1/quote/bytedance/seedance-2.5/us/reference-to-video` with the same JSON body returns the most the run can cost for that input (`credits`, debited when the run starts); after the run you pay the usage the model reports and the rest is refunded automatically. An input whose maximum would exceed the per-run limit is refused with 422. 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 \| null | no |  |  | Text prompt that guides video generation. |
| `task` |  | enum (string) | no | `reference` | `reference`, `editing`, `extension` | Video task selection with three behaviors: `reference` guides generation using supplied media, editing changes a reference video, and extension continues one. Both editing and extension automatically set `aspect_ratio` to `auto`; editing also sets `duration` to `auto`. |
| `image_urls` | `images` | array of image URL | no |  |  | Image references for video guidance, limited to 30 images and subject to a 50-file maximum across all modalities. Each image may be at most 30 MB and must use JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP, TIFF, GIF, HEIC, or HEIF. Use @Image1, @Image2, and subsequent numbered labels to identify these references in the prompt. |
| `video_urls` | `videos` | array of video URL | no |  |  | Supply up to 10 reference videos as MP4 or MOV files to guide generation, and identify them in the prompt with @Video1, @Video2, and subsequent numbered labels. Each file must be no larger than 200 MB and last 1.8–30.2 seconds, with all clips together totaling at most 30.2 seconds. Required video properties are 24–60 FPS, a 0.4–2.5 aspect ratio, and 300–6,000 pixels on each side. |
| `audio_urls` | `audios` | array of audio URL | no |  |  | Audio references for video guidance have an aggregate duration limit of 30.2 seconds across at most 10 files. Each must use MP3 or WAV, last 1.8–30.2 seconds, and be at most 15 MB. Identify the files in the prompt with @Audio1, @Audio2, and subsequent numbered labels. |
| `resolution` |  | enum (string) | no | `720p` | `480p`, `720p`, `1080p` | Output resolution: 480p prioritizes speed, 720p offers balance, and 1080p delivers high quality. |
| `duration` |  | enum (string) | no | `auto` | `auto`, `4`, `5`, `6`, `7`, `8`, `9`, `10`, `11`, `12`, `13`, `14`, `15`, `16`, `17`, `18`, `19`, `20`, `21`, `22`, `23`, `24`, `25`, `26`, `27`, `28`, `29`, `30` | Video length selection: `auto` delegates the choice to the model using the prompt, while an explicit duration must be from 4 to 30 seconds. |
| `aspect_ratio` |  | enum (string) | no | `auto` | `auto`, `21:9`, `16:9`, `4:3`, `1:1`, `3:4`, `9:16` | Output aspect ratio: 16:9 gives landscape, 9:16 gives portrait/vertical, 1:1 gives square, and 21:9 gives cinematic ultrawide. Select `auto` for the model to choose the ratio. |
| `generate_audio` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Enable this to accompany the video with synchronized audio. Generated audio includes speech matched to lip movements, environmental ambience, and sound effects. |
| `bitrate_mode` |  | enum (string) | no | `standard` | `standard`, `high` | Choose the output encoding bitrate: 'standard' retains the default, whereas 'high' asks the model to improve encoding quality at the expense of a larger file. |
| `codec` |  | enum (string) | no | `auto` | `auto`, `H264`, `H265` | Video codec selection: `auto` leaves the default codec behavior unchanged, `H264` selects H.264, and `H265` selects H.265. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Random seed used to make generation reproducible, without guaranteeing exact repetition: reusing it can still yield slightly different results. |
| `end_user_id` |  | string \| null | no |  |  | Unique identifier assigned to the end user. |

File parameters (`images`, `videos`, `audios`) 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
{}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
}
```

## 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/bytedance/seedance-2.5/us/reference-to-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"
  }'

# 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/bytedance/seedance-2.5/us/reference-to-video?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
  }),
});
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",
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/bytedance/seedance-2.5/us/reference-to-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": "bytedance/seedance-2.5/us/reference-to-video",
      "input": {
        "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
      },
      "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.
