Sideforholdet varierer fra 21:9 til 9:16 eller auto. `bitrate_mode` tilbyr standard eller high, og kodeken kan være H264 eller H265.

- Model id: `bytedance/seedance-2.5/us/text-to-video`
- Made by: ByteDance
- Category: Text 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/text-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/text-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

| Parameter | Canonical name | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values / range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `prompt` |  | string | yes |  |  | Tekstprompt som styrer videogenereringen. |
| `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. |
| `end_user_id` |  | string \| null | no |  |  | Unik identifikator tildelt sluttbrukeren. |

## Example input

Required parameters only:

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

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/text-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/text-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/text-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/text-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.
