# Seedance 2.5 US Reference to Video API

> Seedance 2.5-generatie, bewerking en verlenging van referentievideo's met maximaal 30 afbeeldingen, 10 video's en 10 audiobestanden

Een `task`-instelling wisselt tussen referentiegestuurde generatie, het bewerken van een referentievideo en het verlengen ervan. Accepteert maximaal 30 afbeeldingen, 10 video's en 10 audiobestanden als referenties, aangeduid als @Image1 en vergelijkbare namen. Produceert 480p, 720p of 1080p, auto of 4 tot 30 seconden, met beeldverhoudingen van 21:9 tot 9:16. Ondersteunt `seed` en `bitrate_mode`.

- Model id: `bytedance/seedance-2.5/us/reference-to-video`
- Made by: ByteDance
- Category: Reference to Video
- Output: video
- Charged by usage (up to $6.944 per run; the rest of the hold is refunded): $0.0107 / 1000 tokens (cheapest run $0.416 (416 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.ru/v1/run/bytedance/seedance-2.5/us/reference-to-video`

## 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 |  |  | Tekstprompt die de videogeneratie aanstuurt. |
| `task` |  | enum (string) | no | `reference` | `reference`, `editing`, `extension` | Selectie van videotaak met drie gedragingen: `reference` stuurt de generatie met aangeleverde media, bewerken wijzigt een referentievideo en uitbreiden zet een video voort. Zowel bewerken als uitbreiden stelt `aspect_ratio` automatisch in op `auto`; bewerken stelt ook `duration` in op `auto`. |
| `image_urls` | `images` | array of image URL | no |  |  | Afbeeldingsreferenties voor videogeleiding, beperkt tot 30 afbeeldingen en onderworpen aan een maximum van 50 bestanden voor alle modaliteiten samen. Elke afbeelding mag maximaal 30 MB groot zijn en moet JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP, TIFF, GIF, HEIC of HEIF gebruiken. Gebruik @Image1, @Image2 en volgende genummerde labels om deze referenties in de prompt te identificeren. |
| `video_urls` | `videos` | array of video URL | no |  |  | Lever maximaal 10 referentievideo's aan als MP4- of MOV-bestanden om de generatie te sturen en identificeer ze in de prompt met @Video1, @Video2 en volgende genummerde labels. Elk bestand mag maximaal 200 MB groot zijn en moet 1.8–30.2 seconden duren; alle clips samen mogen maximaal 30.2 seconden duren. Vereiste video-eigenschappen zijn 24–60 FPS, een beeldverhouding van 0.4–2.5 en 300–6,000 pixels aan elke zijde. |
| `audio_urls` | `audios` | array of audio URL | no |  |  | Audioreferenties voor videogeleiding hebben een totale duur van maximaal 30.2 seconden voor maximaal 10 bestanden. Elk bestand moet MP3 of WAV gebruiken, 1.8–30.2 seconden duren en maximaal 15 MB groot zijn. Identificeer de bestanden in de prompt met @Audio1, @Audio2 en volgende genummerde labels. |
| `resolution` |  | enum (string) | no | `720p` | `480p`, `720p`, `1080p` | Uitvoerresolutie: 480p geeft prioriteit aan snelheid, 720p biedt balans en 1080p levert hoge kwaliteit. |
| `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` | Selectie van videolengte: `auto` laat de keuze op basis van de prompt aan het model over, terwijl een expliciete duur tussen 4 en 30 seconden moet liggen. |
| `aspect_ratio` |  | enum (string) | no | `auto` | `auto`, `21:9`, `16:9`, `4:3`, `1:1`, `3:4`, `9:16` | Beeldverhouding van de uitvoer: 16:9 geeft liggend, 9:16 geeft staand/verticaal, 1:1 geeft vierkant en 21:9 geeft cinematografisch ultrabreed. Selecteer `auto` om het model de verhouding te laten kiezen. |
| `generate_audio` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Schakel dit in om de video van gesynchroniseerde audio te voorzien. Gegenereerde audio bevat spraak die op lipbewegingen is afgestemd, omgevingsgeluid en geluidseffecten. |
| `bitrate_mode` |  | enum (string) | no | `standard` | `standard`, `high` | Kies de bitrate van de uitvoercodering: 'standard' behoudt de standaardwaarde, terwijl 'high' het model vraagt de coderingskwaliteit te verbeteren ten koste van een groter bestand. |
| `codec` |  | enum (string) | no | `auto` | `auto`, `H264`, `H265` | Selectie van videocodec: `auto` laat het standaardcodecgedrag ongewijzigd, `H264` selecteert H.264 en `H265` selecteert H.265. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Willekeurige seed om generatie reproduceerbaar te maken, zonder exacte herhaling te garanderen: hergebruik kan nog steeds iets andere resultaten opleveren. |
| `end_user_id` |  | string \| null | no |  |  | Unieke identificatie die aan de eindgebruiker is toegewezen. |

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.
