# Seedance 2.5 US Reference to Video API

> Seedance 2.5 for videogenerering, redigering og forlengelse fra opptil 30 bilder, 10 videoer og 10 lydfiler

En `task`-innstilling bytter mellom referansestyrt generering, redigering av en referansevideo og forlengelse av en video. Godtar opptil 30 bilder, 10 videoer og 10 lydfiler som referanser, omtalt som @Image1 og tilsvarende. Utdata er 480p, 720p eller 1080p, auto eller 4 til 30 sekunder, med størrelsesforhold fra 21:9 til 9:16. Støtter `seed` og `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 som styrer videogenereringen. |
| `task` |  | enum (string) | no | `reference` | `reference`, `editing`, `extension` | Valg av videooppgave med tre virkemåter: `reference` styrer genereringen ved hjelp av medieinnhold som er oppgitt, editing endrer en referansevideo, og extension fortsetter en video. Både editing og extension setter automatisk `aspect_ratio` til `auto`; editing setter også `duration` til `auto`. |
| `image_urls` | `images` | array of image URL | no |  |  | Bildereferanser for videoveiledning, begrenset til 30 bilder og underlagt en grense på 50 filer på tvers av alle modaliteter. Hvert bilde kan være på maksimalt 30 MB og må bruke JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP, TIFF, GIF, HEIC eller HEIF. Bruk @Image1, @Image2 og påfølgende nummererte etiketter for å identifisere referansene i prompten. |
| `video_urls` | `videos` | array of video URL | no |  |  | Oppgi opptil 10 referansevideoer som MP4- eller MOV-filer for å styre genereringen, og identifiser dem i prompten med @Video1, @Video2 og påfølgende nummererte etiketter. Hver fil må være på høyst 200 MB og vare i 1.8–30.2 sekunder, mens alle klipp samlet kan vare i høyst 30.2 sekunder. Påkrevde videoegenskaper er 24–60 FPS, et størrelsesforhold på 0.4–2.5 og 300–6 000 piksler på hver side. |
| `audio_urls` | `audios` | array of audio URL | no |  |  | Lydreferanser for videoveiledning har en samlet varighetsgrense på 30.2 sekunder fordelt på maksimalt 10 filer. Hver fil må bruke MP3 eller WAV, vare i 1.8–30.2 sekunder og være på høyst 15 MB. Identifiser filene i prompten med @Audio1, @Audio2 og påfølgende nummererte etiketter. |
| `resolution` |  | enum (string) | no | `720p` | `480p`, `720p`, `1080p` | Utdataoppløsning: 480p prioriterer hastighet, 720p gir balanse, og 1080p gir høy kvalitet. |
| `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` | Valg av videolengde: `auto` overlater valget til modellen basert på prompten, mens en eksplisitt varighet må være fra 4 til 30 sekunder. |
| `aspect_ratio` |  | enum (string) | no | `auto` | `auto`, `21:9`, `16:9`, `4:3`, `1:1`, `3:4`, `9:16` | Utdataens størrelsesforhold: 16:9 gir liggende format, 9:16 gir stående/vertikalt format, 1:1 gir kvadratisk format, og 21:9 gir kinolignende ultrabredt format. Velg `auto` for at modellen skal velge forholdet. |
| `generate_audio` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Aktiver dette for å få videoen levert med synkronisert lyd. Generert lyd inkluderer tale tilpasset leppebevegelser, omgivelseslyd og lydeffekter. |
| `bitrate_mode` |  | enum (string) | no | `standard` | `standard`, `high` | Velg bithastighet for utdataens koding: 'standard' beholder standardinnstillingen, mens 'high' ber modellen forbedre kodekvaliteten på bekostning av en større fil. |
| `codec` |  | enum (string) | no | `auto` | `auto`, `H264`, `H265` | Valg av videokodek: `auto` lar standardoppførselen for kodeken være uendret, `H264` velger H.264, og `H265` velger H.265. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Tilfeldig seed som gjør genereringen reproduserbar, uten å garantere nøyaktig gjentakelse: gjenbruk kan fortsatt gi litt forskjellige resultater. |
| `end_user_id` |  | string \| null | no |  |  | Unik identifikator tildelt sluttbrukeren. |

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.
