# Seedance 2.0 Reference to Video API

> Steiert e 4 bis 15 Sekonne laange Clip mat Toun aus bis zu 9 Biller, 3 Videoen an 3 Audioclippen, déi iwwer hiren Numm referenzéiert ginn.

ByteDance säi Multi-Reference-Videomodell: lued Figuren, Produkter, Plazen, eng Bewegungs- oder Kamerareferenz an e Voice- oder Museksclip erop, a ruff se am Prompt als @Image1, @Video1, @Audio1 a sou weider op. Et hält d'Identitéiten iwwer Schnëtt ewech konsequent a generéiert synchroniséierten Audio. Op d'mannst eng Bild- oder Videoreferenz ass néideg, an all Referenzen zesumme däerfen net méi wéi 12 Fichiere sinn. Ausgab vun 480p bis 4K.

## Pricing

Price: **from $0.141 / second (4 s ≈ $0.564)** (the lowest tier; the quote prices your exact input). Billed per second of output (`duration`, default 15).

Price rules (the first rule that matches the input wins; a parameter you leave out counts as its default):

- When `video_urls` is set and `duration` ≤ 4: by `resolution`, 480p: $0.141, 720p: $0.304, 1080p: $0.682, 4k: $1.556 / second
- When `video_urls` is set and `duration` ≤ 5: by `resolution`, 480p: $0.141, 720p: $0.304, 1080p: $0.682, 4k: $1.556 / second

The full example input below costs $1.52 = 1520 API credits (5 s × 304 API credits).

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/bytedance/seedance-2.0/reference-to-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 |  |  | Text-Prompt, deen d'Videogeneratioun leet. |
| `image_urls` | `images` | array of image URL | no |  | ≤ 9 items | Bildreferenze fir d'Videosteierung, limitéiert op 9 Biller a maximal 12 Dateien iwwer all Modalitéiten. All Bild däerf maximal 30 MB grouss sinn a muss JPEG, PNG oder WebP benotzen. Benotzt @Image1, @Image2 an duerno nummeréiert Bezeechnungen, fir dës Referenzen am Prompt z'identifizéieren. |
| `video_urls` | `videos` | array of video URL | no |  | ≤ 3 items | Videoreferenze fir d'Generatioun, geliwwert als MP4- oder MOV-Dateien an am Prompt mat @Video1, @Video2 an duerno nummeréierte Bezeechnungen identifizéiert. Jiddwer Datei muss eng Opléisung vun ongeféier 480p (640x640) bis ongeféier 720p (834x1112) hunn. D'Set ass op 3 Videoe mat insgesamt manner wéi 50 MB limitéiert, mat enger Gesamtdauer vun 2 bis 15 Sekonnen. |
| `audio_urls` | `audios` | array of audio URL | no |  | ≤ 3 items | Audio-Referenze fir d'Videosteierung erfuerderen op d'mannst eng begleedend Bild- oder Videoreferenz. Gitt MP3- oder WAV-Dateie vu maximal 15 MB pro Datei un, mat maximal 3 Dateien an enger Gesamtdauer vu maximal 15 Sekonnen. Identifizéiert se am Prompt mat @Audio1, @Audio2 an duerno nummeréierte Bezeechnungen. |
| `resolution` |  | enum (string) | no | `720p` | `480p`, `720p`, `1080p`, `4k` | Output-Opléisung: 480p prioritär d'Geschwindegkeet, 720p bitt en Equiliber, 1080p liwwert héich Qualitéit an 4k déi héchst Qualitéit. |
| `duration` |  | enum (string) | no | `auto` | `auto`, `4`, `5`, `6`, `7`, `8`, `9`, `10`, `11`, `12`, `13`, `14`, `15` | Auswiel vun der Videolängt: `auto` iwwerdréit d'Auswiel un de Modell op Basis vum Prompt, wärend eng explizit Dauer tëscht 4 an 15 Sekonne leie muss. |
| `aspect_ratio` |  | enum (string) | no | `auto` | `auto`, `21:9`, `16:9`, `4:3`, `1:1`, `3:4`, `9:16` | Output-Bildformat: 16:9 ass Querformat, 9:16 Portrait/Vertikalformat, 1:1 Quadrat an 21:9 kinematescht Ultrawide. Wielt `auto`, fir de Modell d'Verhältnis auswielen ze loossen. |
| `generate_audio` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Aktivéiert dëst, fir de Video mat synchroniséiertem Audio ze begleeden. De generéierten Audio enthält Ried, déi un d'Lëppebeweegunge ugepasst ass, Ëmweltgeräischer a Soundeffekter. |
| `bitrate_mode` |  | enum (string) | no | `standard` | `standard`, `high` | Wielt d'Bitrate vun der Output-Kodéierung: 'standard' behält de Standard, wärend 'high' de Modell freet, d'Kodéierungsqualitéit op Käschte vun enger méi grousser Datei ze verbesseren. |
| `codec` |  | enum (string) | no | `auto` | `auto`, `H264`, `H265` | Auswiel vum Video-Codec: `auto` léisst de Standardverhale vum Codec onverännert, `H264` wielt H.264 an `H265` wielt H.265. |

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:

## 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-2.0/reference-to-video?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

    ],
    "resolution": "720p",
    "duration": 5
  }'

# 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"

### 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-2.0/reference-to-video",
      "input": {
        "prompt": "@Image1 The banana manager walks through the office and high-fives the carrot, upbeat comedy tone",
        "images": [
          "https://content.doitong.com/images/gp/image_20260610003801_541d9719_316882.png"
        ],
        "resolution": "720p",
        "duration": 5
      },
      "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.
