Seedance 2.5 API Documentation

Seedance 2.5 is a high-quality AI video generator. This is the standard model — best quality, with output up to 30 seconds at 720p.

What this does: Describe a scene in plain words and get a short video of it.

What you get back: a link to a finished video file (MP4) you can download.

How it works, in 3 simple steps:

  1. Send your request to the URL below, including your API key.
  2. You instantly get back a request_id and a status link. Your video is then created in the background (this takes a little time).
  3. Open the status link every few seconds until it shows COMPLETED, then download your video from the link it returns. Prefer not to keep checking? Add a webhook (see the Webhook section) and we will notify your server automatically when it is ready.

}

Webhook (Optional)

Add the X-Webhook-URL header to your submit request to receive a POST callback when the job completes — no polling required.

Using curl? These are HTTP request headers — pass each with -H, e.g. -H "X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback". Do not paste them as bare lines, and end every line of a multi-line command with \.

Webhook Headers

HeaderRequiredDefaultDescription
X-Webhook-URLYes (to enable)HTTPS endpoint on your server that will receive the POST callback. Must respond 2xx within a few seconds (process async if needed).
X-Webhook-ModeNoterminalterminal — fires once at the final status (COMPLETED/FAILED/ERROR). sync — fires on every poll cycle plus the terminal event, and caps the queue’s polling delay at 15s for tighter progress updates.

Example: enable webhook

X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback
X-Webhook-Mode: terminal

Callback Payload

Your endpoint receives a POST application/json with the same shape as the GET /v2/requests/status/{request_id} response. Example terminal callback (mode terminal):

{
  "request_id": "seedance-2-5_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "status": "COMPLETED",
  "model_id": "seedance-2-5",
  "error": null,
  "output": {
    "media_url": [
      "https://pub-582b7213209642b9b995c96c95a30381.r2.dev/v1/seedance-2-5_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/output.mp4"

  "error": "Description of the error",
  "output": null,
  "created_at": "...",
  "updated_at": "...",
  "completed_at": "..."
}

Delivery semantics

  • terminal mode (default) — exactly one POST when the request reaches a terminal status. No callback during PROCESSING.
  • sync modePOST on every status poll (with delay capped at ~15s) plus a final POST at terminal status. Use when you want progress updates.
  • Idempotency — use request_id as your idempotency key. Network retries can deliver the same callback more than once; your handler must tolerate duplicates.
  • Response — respond 200 OK within a few seconds. The queue does not block on slow handlers, but persistent failures may stop further deliveries.
  • HTTPS required — plain http:// URLs are rejected.

Request Parameters - Seedance 2.5 text-to-video

Parameter Required Type Default Allowed values / range Description
contentYesarray1 text itemInput content array. Pass a single text item: {"type":"text","text":"…"}.
content[].typeYesstring"text"Content item type.
content[].textYesstringRecommended: up to 1,000 English words (or 500 Chinese characters)Prompt describing the desired video. Seedance 2.5 generates natively from English, Spanish, Indonesian, Portuguese, Japanese, Malay, Thai, Arabic, Vietnamese and Korean prompts. Very long prompts scatter the model’s attention and details start to get dropped.
toolsNoarray[{"type":"web_search"}]Optional enhancement — text-to-video only.
ratioNostring"adaptive""16:9", "4:3", "1:1", "3:4", "9:16", "21:9", "adaptive"Output aspect ratio. adaptive lets the model choose the ratio from your prompt.
resolutionNostring"720p""480p", "720p"Output resolution — at 16:9, 480p is 854×480 and 720p is 1280×720. Seedance 2.5 does not support 1080p or 4k.
durationNointeger-14–30, or -1 (model auto-selects)Output video length in seconds. Use -1 to let the model choose a suitable whole-second length inside the 4–30s range.
generate_audioNobooleantruetrue, falseGenerate synchronized audio along with the video — speech, sound effects and background music inferred from the prompt and the visuals. Put spoken lines in double quotes inside the prompt for the best result. Generated audio is returned as a 2-channel stereo track, though the stereo field is narrow; set false for a silent video.
watermarkNobooleanfalsetrue, falseAdd an "AI Generated" watermark to the bottom-right corner of the output video.
output_formatNostring"mp4""mp4", "mov"Container for the generated video. mp4 plays everywhere; mov is the professional option (H.264 video, YUV 4:4:4 chroma, PCM audio) for colour grading, keying and compositing, and is recommended when the clip will be fed back in for editing or extension — some players cannot open it.
return_last_frameNobooleanfalsetrue, falseAlso return the last frame of the generated video as a PNG (same dimensions as the video, no watermark) in the status result — useful for chaining consecutive clips.
execution_expires_afterNointeger1728003600–259200Task expiry window in seconds, counted from task creation (the default 172800 is 48 hours). Tasks still queued or running past this limit are marked expired.
priorityNointeger00–9Queue priority. Higher values are dequeued first within your endpoint; equal priorities stay FIFO and running tasks are never interrupted.
safety_identifierNostringstring, max 64 charactersStable, anonymized end-user ID (for example a hash of the username) that helps the provider detect policy-violating usage.

Content Item Types

TypeFormatDescription
text{"type":"text","text":"..."}The generation prompt (required). May include in-prompt directives below.

In-Prompt Directives (optional)

Seedance 2.5 also accepts space-separated flags appended to the text prompt. If the matching JSON field is also present, the JSON field takes precedence and the directive is ignored.

Typical Workflow

  1. Send a generate request to the API endpoint
  2. Save the request_id from the response
  3. Poll every 5-10 seconds: GET /v2/requests/status/{request_id}
  4. When status is "COMPLETED", download from output.media_url

Tip: Use X-Webhook-URL header to get a callback instead of polling.

Delivery semantics

  • terminal mode (default) — exactly one POST when the request reaches a terminal status. No callback during PROCESSING.
  • sync modePOST on every status poll (with delay capped at ~15s) plus a final POST at terminal status. Use when you want progress updates.
  • Idempotency — use request_id as your idempotency key. Network retries can deliver the same callback more than once; your handler must tolerate duplicates.
  • Response — respond 200 OK within a few seconds. The queue does not block on slow handlers, but persistent failures may stop further deliveries.
  • HTTPS required — plain http:// URLs are rejected.

Using images & real people

You can supply an image or video in three ways:

  • A web link (URL) — a public link to your image or video file.
  • Base64 — the file encoded as a text string (for images and audio).
  • An asset IDasset://<ID>, if you uploaded the file to the asset library earlier.

Real people are allowed. Photos and clips of real human faces work normally — the gateway automatically registers your reference media with the provider, so real-person content is not blocked. (Advanced: for formally consented real-person assets, add them in the BytePlus console and pass the resulting asset://<ID>.)

Request Parameters - Seedance 2.5 image-to-video (first & last frames)

Note: For first/last-frame generation, ratio must be adaptive — the output follows the first frame's aspect ratio.

Parameter Required Type Default Allowed values / range Description
contentYesarray1–2 image_url items; optional 1 text itemInput list. One image = first-frame mode; two images = first + last frame mode. video_url and audio_url items are rejected on this route with 400.
content[].typeYesstring"text", "image_url"Content item type.
content[].textNostringRecommended: ≤ 1,000 English words (or 500 Chinese characters)Optional motion / scene-transition prompt. English works on every model; Seedance 2.5 also accepts Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, Malay, Thai, Arabic and Vietnamese. Very long prompts scatter the model's attention and details get dropped — keep it focused.
content[].image_url.urlYesstringPublic HTTPS URL, base64 data URI, or asset://<ID>; jpeg/png/webp/bmp/tiff/gif/heic/heif; 300–6000 px per side; aspect ratio (w/h) 0.4–2.5; < 30 MB per imageThe frame image. With one image it is the first frame and motion is added from there; with two, the first is the opening frame and the second the closing frame. Base64 must be data:image/<format>;base64,… with a lowercase format. Each image must stay under 30 MB and the whole request body under 64 MB — use URLs rather than base64 for large files.
content[].roleRequired when 2 imagesstring"first_frame" (single image)"first_frame", "last_frame"Frame position. In two-image mode the provider requires role on both items; the gateway auto-assigns first_frame to the 1st image and last_frame to the 2nd in array order if you omit it. The two frames may be identical. If their aspect ratios differ, the first frame takes precedence and the last frame is centre-cropped to match.
ratioNostring"adaptive""adaptive" onlyLocked for this task type — Seedance 2.5 first/last-frame generation accepts no other value and rejects one with 400. The output automatically keeps the first frame's aspect ratio.
resolutionNostring"720p""480p", "720p"Output resolution. Seedance 2.5 does not support 1080p or 4k.
durationNointeger-14–30, or -1 (model auto-selects)Output video length in seconds. Use -1 to let the model pick a suitable whole-second length inside the 4–30 s range.
generate_audioNobooleantruetrue, falseGenerate synchronized audio — voice, sound effects and background music — matched to the prompt and the visuals. Generated audio is returned as a 2-channel stereo track, though the stereo field is narrow. Put spoken lines in double quotes inside the prompt for the best dialogue result.
watermarkNobooleanfalsetrue, falseAdd an "AI Generated" watermark to the bottom-right corner of the output video.
output_formatNostring"mp4""mp4", "mov"Container for the generated video. mov carries higher colour precision and is recommended for video editing and extension; some players cannot open it.
return_last_frameNobooleanfalsetrue, falseAlso return the last frame of the generated video as a PNG (same dimensions as the video, no watermark) in the status result — useful for chaining consecutive clips.
execution_expires_afterNointeger1728003600–259200Task expiry window in seconds, counted from task creation. Tasks still queued or running past this limit are marked expired.
priorityNointeger00–9Queue priority. Higher values are dequeued first within your endpoint; running tasks are never interrupted.
safety_identifierNostringstring, max 64 charactersStable, anonymized end-user ID (for example a hash of the username) that helps the provider detect policy-violating usage.

Seedance 2.5 API Documentation

Seedance 2.5 is a high-quality AI video generator. This is the standard model — best quality, with output up to 30 seconds at 720p.

What this does: Give it photos (and/or short clips) of people or things, and it creates a video featuring them.

What you get back: a link to a finished video file (MP4) you can download.

How it works, in 3 simple steps:

  1. Send your request to the URL below, including your API key.
  2. You instantly get back a request_id and a status link. Your video is then created in the background (this takes a little time).
  3. Open the status link every few seconds until it shows COMPLETED, then download your video from the link it returns. Prefer not to keep checking? Add a webhook (see the Webhook section) and we will notify your server automatically when it is ready.

Webhook (Optional)

Add the X-Webhook-URL header to your submit request to receive a POST callback when the job completes — no polling required.

Using curl? These are HTTP request headers — pass each with -H, e.g. -H "X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback". Do not paste them as bare lines, and end every line of a multi-line command with \.

Webhook Headers

HeaderRequiredDefaultDescription
X-Webhook-URLYes (to enable)HTTPS endpoint on your server that will receive the POST callback. Must respond 2xx within a few seconds (process async if needed).
X-Webhook-ModeNoterminalterminal — fires once at the final status (COMPLETED/FAILED/ERROR). sync — fires on every poll cycle plus the terminal event, and caps the queue’s polling delay at 15s for tighter progress updates.

Example: enable webhook

X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback
X-Webhook-Mode: terminal

Callback Payload

Your endpoint receives a POST application/json with the same shape as the GET /v2/requests/status/{request_id} response. Example terminal callback (mode terminal):

{
  "request_id": "seedance-2-5_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "status": "COMPLETED",
  "model_id": "seedance-2-5",
  "error": null,
  "output": {
    "media_url": [
      "https://pub-582b7213209642b9b995c96c95a30381.r2.dev/v1/seedance-2-5_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/output.mp4"
    ],
    "media_type": "video/mp4"
  },
  "created_at": "2026-05-22T13:17:32.110Z",
  "updated_at": "2026-05-22 13:19:23",
  "completed_at": "2026-05-22 13:19:23"
}

Failure callback shape

{
  "request_id": "seedance-2-5_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "status": "ERROR",
  "model_id": "seedance-2-5",
  "error": "Description of the error",
  "output": null,
  "created_at": "...",
  "updated_at": "...",
  "completed_at": "..."
}

Delivery semantics

  • terminal mode (default) — exactly one POST when the request reaches a terminal status. No callback during PROCESSING.
  • sync modePOST on every status poll (with delay capped at ~15s) plus a final POST at terminal status. Use when you want progress updates.
  • Idempotency — use request_id as your idempotency key. Network retries can deliver the same callback more than once; your handler must tolerate duplicates.
  • Response — respond 200 OK within a few seconds. The queue does not block on slow handlers, but persistent failures may stop further deliveries.
  • HTTPS required — plain http:// URLs are rejected.

Using images & real people

You can supply an image or video in three ways:

  • A web link (URL) — a public link to your image or video file.
  • Base64 — the file encoded as a text string (for images and audio).
  • An asset IDasset://<ID>, if you uploaded the file to the asset library earlier.

Real people are allowed. Photos and clips of real human faces work normally — the gateway automatically registers your reference media with the provider, so real-person content is not blocked. (Advanced: for formally consented real-person assets, add them in the BytePlus console and pass the resulting asset://<ID>.)

Request Parameters - Seedance 2.5 reference-to-video

Parameter Required Type Default Allowed values / range Description
contentYesarrayoptional text + 0–30 images and/or 0–10 videos and/or 0–10 audio clips; 50 references maxMultimodal reference input. Any combination of image, video and audio references — in 2.5 audio alone is a valid reference. Keep the whole request body under 64 MB; send large assets as URLs rather than base64.
content[].typeYesstring"text", "image_url", "video_url", "audio_url"Content item type.
content[].textNostringRecommended: ≤ 1,000 English words (≤ 500 Chinese characters)Prompt; refer to uploads by order, e.g. "Image 1", "Video 1". English is supported by every Seedance model; 2.5 also generates natively from Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, Malay, Thai, Arabic and Vietnamese prompts. Longer prompts scatter the model's attention and details start getting dropped.
content[].image_url.urlConditionalstringURL, base64 data URI, or asset://<ID>; jpeg/png/webp/bmp/tiff/gif/heic/heif; max 30 MB each; 300–6000 px per side; aspect ratio (w/h) 0.4–2.5; 1–30 imagesUpload up to 30 reference images the model takes subject, style or composition cues from, to keep your result consistent. JPEG, PNG, WebP, BMP, TIFF, GIF, HEIC or HEIF; under 30 MB each; every side 300–6000 px with a width/height ratio between 0.4 and 2.5.
content[].video_url.urlConditionalstringURL or asset://<ID>; mp4/mov; max 200 MB each; 2–30 s per clip and 30 s combined; 300–6000 px per side; aspect ratio (w/h) 0.4–2.5; 409,600–8,295,044 total pixels; 24–60 FPSUpload up to 10 reference videos the model takes motion or style cues from. MP4 or MOV, 480p to 4K source; each clip 2–30 seconds and under 200 MB; 30 seconds combined across all videos. Clips under 20 seconds usually transfer motion best.
content[].audio_url.urlConditionalstringURL, base64 data URI, or asset://<ID>; wav/mp3; max 15 MB each; 2–30 s per clip and 30 s combinedUpload up to 10 audio clips as a reference for music, dialogue, voice, tone or timbre. MP3 or WAV; each clip 2–30 seconds and under 15 MB; 30 seconds combined. In Seedance 2.5 audio can be the only reference you send.
content[].roleRequired on refsstring"reference_image", "reference_video", "reference_audio"Role of each reference item — reference_image on images, reference_video on videos, reference_audio on audio. Required on every non-text item. (The provider's first_frame/last_frame roles belong to the separate image-to-video modes, which cannot be mixed with reference input.)
ratioNostring"adaptive""16:9", "4:3", "1:1", "3:4", "9:16", "21:9", "adaptive"Output aspect ratio. adaptive lets the model pick one from the task type and your inputs. Video-editing and video-extension requests keep the input video's ratio and accept only adaptive.
resolutionNostring"720p""480p", "720p"Output resolution. Seedance 2.5 does not support 1080p or 4k.
durationNointeger-14–30, or -1 (model auto-selects)Output video length in seconds. Use -1 to let the model choose a suitable length. Video-editing requests accept only -1 and keep the input clip's length.
generate_audioNobooleantruetrue, falseGenerate synchronized audio along with the video — speech, sound effects and music matched to the prompt and footage. Put spoken lines in double quotes to steer the dialogue. Generated audio is returned as a 2-channel stereo track, though the stereo field is narrow.
watermarkNobooleanfalsetrue, falseAdd an "AI Generated" watermark to the bottom-right corner of the output video.
output_formatNostring"mp4""mp4", "mov"Container for the generated video. mov carries higher colour precision and is recommended for video editing and extension; some players cannot open it.
return_last_frameNobooleanfalsetrue, falseAlso return the last frame of the generated video as a PNG (same dimensions as the video, no watermark) in the status result — useful for chaining consecutive clips.
execution_expires_afterNointeger1728003600–259200Task expiry window in seconds, counted from task creation. Tasks still queued or running past this limit are marked expired.
priorityNointeger00–9Queue priority. Higher values are dequeued first within your endpoint; running tasks are never interrupted.
safety_identifierNostringstring, max 64 charactersStable, anonymized end-user ID (for example a hash of the username) that helps the provider detect policy-violating usage.

text1Prompt. Address references by their 1-indexed array order — [Image1], [Video1], [Audio1] (plain "Image 1" also works).

Asset budget: up to 50 references in total — at most 30 images, 10 videos and 10 audio clips. Video references may total 30 seconds combined, and audio references 30 seconds combined.

In-Prompt Directives (optional)

Seedance 2.5 also accepts space-separated flags appended to the text prompt. If the matching JSON field is also present, the JSON field takes precedence and the directive is ignored.

DirectiveExampleDescription
--resolution--resolution 720pOutput resolution (480p / 720p).
--seed--seed 42Reproducible seed.
--framepersecond--framepersecond 24Output frame rate (fps).
--camerafixed--camerafixed falsetrue locks the camera; false allows camera motion.

}

Webhook (Optional)

Add the X-Webhook-URL header to your submit request to receive a POST callback when the job completes — no polling required.

Using curl? These are HTTP request headers — pass each with -H, e.g. -H "X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback". Do not paste them as bare lines, and end every line of a multi-line command with \.

Webhook Headers

HeaderRequiredDefaultDescription
X-Webhook-URLYes (to enable)HTTPS endpoint on your server that will receive the POST callback. Must respond 2xx within a few seconds (process async if needed).
X-Webhook-ModeNoterminalterminal — fires once at the final status (COMPLETED/FAILED/ERROR). sync — fires on every poll cycle plus the terminal event, and caps the queue’s polling delay at 15s for tighter progress updates.

Example: enable webhook

X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback
X-Webhook-Mode: terminal

Callback Payload

Your endpoint receives a POST application/json with the same shape as the GET /v2/requests/status/{request_id} response. Example terminal callback (mode terminal):

{
  "request_id": "seedance-2-5_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "status": "COMPLETED",
  "model_id": "seedance-2-5",
  "error": null,
  "output": {

    ],
    "media_type": "video/mp4"
  },
  "created_at": "2026-05-22T13:17:32.110Z",
  "updated_at": "2026-05-22 13:19:23",
  "completed_at": "2026-05-22 13:19:23"
}

Failure callback shape

{
  "request_id": "seedance-2-5_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "status": "ERROR",
  "model_id": "seedance-2-5",
  "error": "Description of the error",
  "output": null,
  "created_at": "...",
  "updated_at": "...",
  "completed_at": "..."
}

Delivery semantics

  • terminal mode (default) — exactly one POST when the request reaches a terminal status. No callback during PROCESSING.
  • sync modePOST on every status poll (with delay capped at ~15s) plus a final POST at terminal status. Use when you want progress updates.
  • Idempotency — use request_id as your idempotency key. Network retries can deliver the same callback more than once; your handler must tolerate duplicates.
  • Response — respond 200 OK within a few seconds. The queue does not block on slow handlers, but persistent failures may stop further deliveries.
  • HTTPS required — plain http:// URLs are rejected.

Using images & real people

You can supply an image or video in three ways:

  • A web link (URL) — a public link to your image or video file.
  • Base64 — the file encoded as a text string (for images and audio).
  • An asset IDasset://<ID>, if you uploaded the file to the asset library earlier.

Real people are allowed. Photos and clips of real human faces work normally — the gateway automatically registers your reference media with the provider, so real-person content is not blocked. (Advanced: for formally consented real-person assets, add them in the BytePlus console and pass the resulting asset://<ID>.)

Request Parameters - Seedance 2.5 edit-video

Note: For video editing, ratio must be adaptive and duration must be -1 — the output tracks the input video.

Parameter Required Type Default Allowed values / range Description
contentYesarray1 text + 1 video_url (required) + optional image_urlEdit instruction + the video to edit, plus an optional reference image.
content[].typeYesstring"text", "image_url", "video_url"Content item type.
content[].textYesstringRecommended: under 1000 wordsEdit instruction; refer to uploads by order, e.g. "Image 1", "Video 1". Include an explicit edit verb (add, remove, replace, change, edit) so the model classifies the request as an edit instead of a new generation.
content[].image_url.urlNostringURL, base64 URI, or asset://<ID>; jpeg/png/webp/bmp/tiff/gif/heic/heif; max 30 MB; 300–6000 px per side; aspect ratio 0.4–2.5Optional reference image — the object, character, or scene to bring into the edited video. Under 30 MB. Omit it to edit the video from the text instruction alone.
content[].video_url.urlYesstringURL or asset://<ID>; mp4/mov (H.264 or H.265 video, AAC or MP3 audio); 4–30 s; 24–60 FPS; max 200 MB; 300–6000 px per sideUpload the video you want to edit. MP4 or MOV, up to 200 MB, and 4–30 seconds long — a source clip shorter than 4 s or longer than 30 s is rejected. MOV is recommended for editing (higher colour precision).
content[].roleNostringauto-assigned"reference_image", "reference_video"Asset role. The gateway sets it automatically from the item type; any value you send is overwritten.
ratioNostring"adaptive""adaptive" onlyLocked for video editing. The output always keeps the source video’s aspect ratio, so adaptive is the only accepted value.
resolutionNostring"720p""480p", "720p"Output resolution. Seedance 2.5 does not support 1080p or 4k.
durationNointeger-1-1 onlyLocked for video editing. The output tracks the source video’s length (it may come back up to 0.4 s shorter, and may be a non-integer number of seconds), so -1 is the only accepted value.
generate_audioNobooleantruetrue, falseGenerate synchronized audio along with the video.
watermarkNobooleanfalsetrue, falseAdd an "AI Generated" watermark to the bottom-right corner of the output video.
output_formatNostring"mp4""mp4", "mov"Container for the generated video. mov carries higher colour precision and is recommended for video editing and extension; some players cannot open it.
return_last_frameNobooleanfalsetrue, falseAlso return the last frame of the generated video as a PNG (same dimensions as the video, no watermark) in the status result — useful for chaining consecutive clips.
execution_expires_afterNointeger1728003600–259200Task expiry window in seconds, counted from task creation. Tasks still queued or running past this limit are marked expired.
priorityNointeger00–9Queue priority. Higher values are dequeued first within your endpoint; running tasks are never interrupted.
safety_identifierNostringstring, max 64 charactersStable, anonymized end-user ID (for example a hash of the username) that helps the provider detect policy-violating usage.

  1. Send a generate request to the API endpoint
  2. Save the request_id from the response
  3. Poll every 5-10 seconds: GET /v2/requests/status/{request_id}
  4. When status is "COMPLETED", download from output.media_url

Tip: Use X-Webhook-URL header to get a callback instead of polling.

Seedance 2.5 API Pricing — Per-Second Rates

Seedance 2.5 is the newest generation: up to 30-second output, up to 50 multimodal reference assets, native multilingual audio, and video extension. 480p/720p only.

Seedance 2.5 API Documentation

Seedance 2.5 is a high-quality AI video generator. This is the standard model — best quality, with output up to 30 seconds at 720p.

What this does: Upload a video plus a text instruction describing what should happen next, and it generates a continuation of that clip.

What you get back: a link to a finished video file (MP4) you can download.

How it works, in 3 simple steps:

  1. Send your request to the URL below, including your API key.
  2. You instantly get back a request_id and a status link. Your video is then created in the background (this takes a little time).
  3. Open the status link every few seconds until it shows COMPLETED, then download your video from the link it returns. Prefer not to keep checking? Add a webhook (see the Webhook section) and we will notify your server automatically when it is ready.

content[].textYesstringRecommended: under 1000 wordsDescribes what happens in the continuation. Must contain an extension cue such as "extend forward", "extend backward", "continue" or "continue the story" — without one the model may classify the job as an edit instead and reject it. Refer to uploads by order, e.g. "Video 1", "Image 1".
content[].video_url.urlYesstringURL or asset://<ID>; mp4/mov; max 200 MB; 2–30 s; 24–60 FPS; 300–6000 px per side; aspect ratio 0.4–2.5The clip you want to extend.

Seedance 2.0 Mini API Documentation

Seedance 2.0 Mini is the most affordable version of Seedance 2.0 — the cheapest way to create a video (480p and 720p).

What this does: Describe a scene in plain words and get a short video of it.

What you get back: a link to a finished video file (MP4) you can download.

How it works, in 3 simple steps:

  1. Send your request to the URL below, including your API key.
  2. You instantly get back a request_id and a status link. Your video is then created in the background (this takes a little time).
  3. Open the status link every few seconds until it shows COMPLETED, then download your video from the link it returns. Prefer not to keep checking? Add a webhook (see the Webhook section) and we will notify your server automatically when it is ready.

contentYesarray1+ text itemInput content array. Pass a single text item: {"type":"text","text":"…"}.
content[].typeYesstring"text"Content item type.
content[].textYesstringRecommended: under 1000 wordsPrompt describing the desired video. English, Japanese, Indonesian, Spanish, and Portuguese prompts are supported.

ratioNostring"adaptive""16:9", "4:3", "1:1", "3:4", "9:16", "21:9", "adaptive"Output aspect ratio.
resolutionNostring"720p""480p", "720p"Output resolution. The Mini variant supports 480p and 720p only — 1080p and 4k are not available.
durationNointeger54–15, or -1 (auto)Output video length in seconds. Set -1 to let the model pick the best length automatically.
generate_audioNobooleantruetrue, falseGenerate synchronized audio along with the video.
watermarkNobooleanfalsetrue, falseAdd a watermark to the output video.

Billing is per second of actual output video, rounded up to the next whole second — clips typically run ~0.1s over the requested duration, so a 5-second request usually bills 6 seconds. The JSON resolution field takes precedence over a --resolution text directive in the prompt; if omitted, the default is 720p (billed at the 720p rate). Set "resolution": "480p" in the JSON body for the 480p rate.

Content Item Types

Delivery semantics

  • terminal mode (default) — exactly one POST when the request reaches a terminal status. No callback during PROCESSING.
  • sync modePOST on every status poll (with delay capped at ~15s) plus a final POST at terminal status. Use when you want progress updates.
  • Idempotency — use request_id as your idempotency key. Network retries can deliver the same callback more than once; your handler must tolerate duplicates.
  • Response — respond 200 OK within a few seconds. The queue does not block on slow handlers, but persistent failures may stop further deliveries.
  • HTTPS required — plain http:// URLs are rejected.

Using images & real people

You can supply an image or video in three ways:

  • A web link (URL) — a public link to your image or video file.
  • Base64 — the file encoded as a text string (for images and audio).
  • An asset IDasset://<ID>, if you uploaded the file to the asset library earlier.

Real people are allowed. Photos and clips of real human faces work normally — the gateway automatically registers your reference media with the provider, so real-person content is not blocked. (Advanced: for formally consented real-person assets, add them in the BytePlus console and pass the resulting asset://<ID>.)

Seedance 2.0 Mini API Documentation

Seedance 2.0 Mini is the most affordable version of Seedance 2.0 — the cheapest way to create a video (480p and 720p).

What this does: Give it photos (and/or short clips) of people or things, and it creates a video featuring them.

What you get back: a link to a finished video file (MP4) you can download.

How it works, in 3 simple steps:

  1. Send your request to the URL below, including your API key.
  2. You instantly get back a request_id and a status link. Your video is then created in the background (this takes a little time).
  3. Open the status link every few seconds until it shows COMPLETED, then download your video from the link it returns. Prefer not to keep checking? Add a webhook (see the Webhook section) and we will notify your server automatically when it is ready.

Webhook (Optional)

Add the X-Webhook-URL header to your submit request to receive a POST callback when the job completes — no polling required.

Using curl? These are HTTP request headers — pass each with -H, e.g. -H "X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback". Do not paste them as bare lines, and end every line of a multi-line command with \.

Webhook Headers

HeaderRequiredDefaultDescription
X-Webhook-URLYes (to enable)HTTPS endpoint on your server that will receive the POST callback. Must respond 2xx within a few seconds (process async if needed).
X-Webhook-ModeNoterminalterminal — fires once at the final status (COMPLETED/FAILED/ERROR). sync — fires on every poll cycle plus the terminal event, and caps the queue’s polling delay at 15s for tighter progress updates.

Example: enable webhook

X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback
X-Webhook-Mode: terminal

Callback Payload

Your endpoint receives a POST application/json with the same shape as the GET /v2/requests/status/{request_id} response. Example terminal callback (mode terminal):

{
  "request_id": "seedance-2-0-mini_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "status": "COMPLETED",
  "model_id": "seedance-2-0-mini",
  "error": null,
  "output": {
    "media_url": [
      "https://pub-582b7213209642b9b995c96c95a30381.r2.dev/v1/seedance-2-0-mini_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/output.mp4"
    ],
    "media_type": "video/mp4"
  },
  "created_at": "2026-05-22T13:17:32.110Z",
  "updated_at": "2026-05-22 13:19:23",
  "completed_at": "2026-05-22 13:19:23"
}

Failure callback shape

{
  "request_id": "seedance-2-0-mini_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "status": "ERROR",
  "model_id": "seedance-2-0-mini",
  "error": "Description of the error",
  "output": null,
  "created_at": "...",
  "updated_at": "...",
  "completed_at": "..."
}

Delivery semantics

  • terminal mode (default) — exactly one POST when the request reaches a terminal status. No callback during PROCESSING.
  • sync modePOST on every status poll (with delay capped at ~15s) plus a final POST at terminal status. Use when you want progress updates.
  • Idempotency — use request_id as your idempotency key. Network retries can deliver the same callback more than once; your handler must tolerate duplicates.
  • Response — respond 200 OK within a few seconds. The queue does not block on slow handlers, but persistent failures may stop further deliveries.
  • HTTPS required — plain http:// URLs are rejected.

Using images & real people

You can supply an image or video in three ways:

  • A web link (URL) — a public link to your image or video file.
  • Base64 — the file encoded as a text string (for images and audio).
  • An asset IDasset://<ID>, if you uploaded the file to the asset library earlier.

Real people are allowed. Photos and clips of real human faces work normally — the gateway automatically registers your reference media with the provider, so real-person content is not blocked. (Advanced: for formally consented real-person assets, add them in the BytePlus console and pass the resulting asset://<ID>.)

Request Parameters - Seedance 2.0 Mini reference-to-video

Parameter Required Type Default Allowed values / range Description
contentYesarrayoptional text + at least one image_url or video_url (audio_url cannot be the only reference); ordered text → images → videos → audioMultimodal reference input.
content[].typeYesstring"text", "image_url", "video_url", "audio_url"Content item type.

content[].image_url.urlConditionalstringURL, base64 data URI, or asset://<ID>; jpeg/png/webp/bmp/tiff/gif/heic/heif; under 30 MB eachUpload up to 9 reference images the model takes style or subject cues from, to keep your result consistent. JPG, PNG or WebP; under 30 MB each.
content[].video_url.urlConditionalstringURL or asset://<ID>; mp4/mov; max 200 MB each; 2–15 s each, 15 s combinedUpload up to 3 reference videos the model takes motion or style cues from. MP4; under 50 MB each; up to 15 seconds total.
content[].audio_url.urlConditionalstringURL, base64 URI, or asset://<ID>; wav/mp3; max 15 MB each; 2–15 s each, 15 s combinedUpload up to 3 audio clips as a reference. MP3 or WAV; under 15 MB each; up to 15 seconds total.
content[].roleRequired on refsstring"reference_image", "reference_video", "reference_audio"Asset role designation.
ratioNostring"adaptive""16:9", "4:3", "1:1", "3:4", "9:16", "21:9", "adaptive"Output aspect ratio.
resolutionNostring"720p""480p", "720p"Output resolution. The Mini variant supports 480p and 720p only — 1080p and 4k are not available.
durationNointeger54–15, or -1 (auto)Output video length in seconds. Set -1 to let the model pick the best length automatically.
generate_audioNobooleantruetrue, falseGenerate synchronized audio along with the video.
watermarkNobooleanfalsetrue, falseAdd a watermark to the output video.

Billing is per second of actual output video, rounded up to the next whole second — clips typically run ~0.1s over the requested duration, so a 5-second request usually bills 6 seconds. The JSON resolution field takes precedence over a --resolution text directive in the prompt; if omitted, the default is 720p (billed at the 720p rate). Set "resolution": "480p" in the JSON body for the 480p rate.

Content Item Types & Limits

TypeMax countFormat / SizeDescription
image_urlup to 9JPG, PNG, WEBP · < 30 MB eachReference image for character consistency, style, or composition. {"type":"image_url","image_url":{"url":"https://..."}}

text1Prompt. Address references by their 1-indexed array order — [Image1], [Video1], [Audio1] (plain "Image 1" also works).

The rule of 12: total references across all types may not exceed 12 (e.g. 9 images + 3 videos = 12, leaving no room for audio). Per-type caps (9 / 3 / 3) always apply within that budget.

In-Prompt Directives (optional)

Seedance 2.0 Mini also accepts space-separated flags appended to the text prompt. If the matching JSON field is also present, the JSON field takes precedence and the directive is ignored.

DirectiveExampleDescription
--resolution--resolution 720pOutput resolution (480p / 720p).
--seed--seed 42Reproducible seed.
--framepersecond--framepersecond 24Output frame rate (fps).
--camerafixed--camerafixed falsetrue locks the camera; false allows camera motion.

Delivery semantics

  • terminal mode (default) — exactly one POST when the request reaches a terminal status. No callback during PROCESSING.
  • sync modePOST on every status poll (with delay capped at ~15s) plus a final POST at terminal status. Use when you want progress updates.
  • Idempotency — use request_id as your idempotency key. Network retries can deliver the same callback more than once; your handler must tolerate duplicates.
  • Response — respond 200 OK within a few seconds. The queue does not block on slow handlers, but persistent failures may stop further deliveries.
  • HTTPS required — plain http:// URLs are rejected.

Using images & real people

You can supply an image or video in three ways:

  • A web link (URL) — a public link to your image or video file.
  • Base64 — the file encoded as a text string (for images and audio).
  • An asset IDasset://<ID>, if you uploaded the file to the asset library earlier.

Real people are allowed. Photos and clips of real human faces work normally — the gateway automatically registers your reference media with the provider, so real-person content is not blocked. (Advanced: for formally consented real-person assets, add them in the BytePlus console and pass the resulting asset://<ID>.)

Request Parameters - Seedance 2.0 Mini edit-video

Parameter Required Type Default Allowed values / range Description
contentYesarray1 text + 1 image_url + 1 video_urlEdit instruction + reference object image + video to edit.
content[].typeYesstring"text", "image_url", "video_url"Content item type.
content[].textYesstringRecommended: under 1000 words; may use @image1 / @video1Edit instruction with reference handles.
content[].image_url.urlYesstringURL, base64 URI, or asset://<ID>; jpeg/png/webp/bmp/tiff/gif/heic/heif; under 30 MBUpload an image of the object, character, or scene to bring into the edited video. JPG, PNG or WebP; under 30 MB.
content[].video_url.urlYesstringURL or asset://<ID>; mp4/mov; max 200 MB; 2–15 sUpload the video you want to edit. MP4; under 50 MB; 2–15 seconds.
content[].roleNostringauto-assigned"reference_image", "reference_video"Asset role. The gateway sets it automatically from the item type; any value you send is overwritten.
ratioNostring"adaptive""16:9", "4:3", "1:1", "3:4", "9:16", "21:9", "adaptive"Output aspect ratio.
resolutionNostring"720p""480p", "720p"Output resolution. The Mini variant supports 480p and 720p only — 1080p and 4k are not available.
durationNointeger54–15, or -1 (auto)Output video length in seconds. Set -1 to let the model pick the best length automatically.
generate_audioNobooleantruetrue, falseGenerate synchronized audio along with the video.
watermarkNobooleanfalsetrue, falseAdd a watermark to the output video.

Billing is per second of actual output video, rounded up to the next whole second — clips typically run ~0.1s over the requested duration, so a 5-second request usually bills 6 seconds. The JSON resolution field takes precedence over a --resolution text directive in the prompt; if omitted, the default is 720p (billed at the 720p rate). Set "resolution": "480p" in the JSON body for the 480p rate.

Seedance 2.0 API Documentation

Seedance 2.0 is a high-quality AI video generator. This is the standard model — best quality, with output up to 4K.

What this does: Describe a scene in plain words and get a short video of it.

What you get back: a link to a finished video file (MP4) you can download.

How it works, in 3 simple steps:

  1. Send your request to the URL below, including your API key.
  2. You instantly get back a request_id and a status link. Your video is then created in the background (this takes a little time).
  3. Open the status link every few seconds until it shows COMPLETED, then download your video from the link it returns. Prefer not to keep checking? Add a webhook (see the Webhook section) and we will notify your server automatically when it is ready.

}

Webhook (Optional)

Add the X-Webhook-URL header to your submit request to receive a POST callback when the job completes — no polling required.

Using curl? These are HTTP request headers — pass each with -H, e.g. -H "X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback". Do not paste them as bare lines, and end every line of a multi-line command with \.

Webhook Headers

HeaderRequiredDefaultDescription
X-Webhook-URLYes (to enable)HTTPS endpoint on your server that will receive the POST callback. Must respond 2xx within a few seconds (process async if needed).
X-Webhook-ModeNoterminalterminal — fires once at the final status (COMPLETED/FAILED/ERROR). sync — fires on every poll cycle plus the terminal event, and caps the queue’s polling delay at 15s for tighter progress updates.

Example: enable webhook

X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback
X-Webhook-Mode: terminal

Callback Payload

Your endpoint receives a POST application/json with the same shape as the GET /v2/requests/status/{request_id} response. Example terminal callback (mode terminal):

}

Webhook (Optional)

Add the X-Webhook-URL header to your submit request to receive a POST callback when the job completes — no polling required.

Using curl? These are HTTP request headers — pass each with -H, e.g. -H "X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback". Do not paste them as bare lines, and end every line of a multi-line command with \.

Webhook Headers

HeaderRequiredDefaultDescription
X-Webhook-URLYes (to enable)HTTPS endpoint on your server that will receive the POST callback. Must respond 2xx within a few seconds (process async if needed).
X-Webhook-ModeNoterminalterminal — fires once at the final status (COMPLETED/FAILED/ERROR). sync — fires on every poll cycle plus the terminal event, and caps the queue’s polling delay at 15s for tighter progress updates.

Example: enable webhook

X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback
X-Webhook-Mode: terminal

Callback Payload

Your endpoint receives a POST application/json with the same shape as the GET /v2/requests/status/{request_id} response. Example terminal callback (mode terminal):

{
  "request_id": "seedance-2-0_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "status": "COMPLETED",
  "model_id": "seedance-2-0",
  "error": null,
  "output": {
    "media_url": [
      "https://pub-582b7213209642b9b995c96c95a30381.r2.dev/v1/seedance-2-0_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/output.mp4"
    ],
    "media_type": "video/mp4"
  },
  "created_at": "2026-05-22T13:17:32.110Z",
  "updated_at": "2026-05-22 13:19:23",
  "completed_at": "2026-05-22 13:19:23"
}

Failure callback shape

{
  "request_id": "seedance-2-0_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "status": "ERROR",
  "model_id": "seedance-2-0",
  "error": "Description of the error",
  "output": null,
  "created_at": "...",
  "updated_at": "...",
  "completed_at": "..."
}

Delivery semantics

  • terminal mode (default) — exactly one POST when the request reaches a terminal status. No callback during PROCESSING.
  • sync modePOST on every status poll (with delay capped at ~15s) plus a final POST at terminal status. Use when you want progress updates.
  • Idempotency — use request_id as your idempotency key. Network retries can deliver the same callback more than once; your handler must tolerate duplicates.
  • Response — respond 200 OK within a few seconds. The queue does not block on slow handlers, but persistent failures may stop further deliveries.
  • HTTPS required — plain http:// URLs are rejected.

Using images & real people

You can supply an image or video in three ways:

  • A web link (URL) — a public link to your image or video file.
  • Base64 — the file encoded as a text string (for images and audio).
  • An asset IDasset://<ID>, if you uploaded the file to the asset library earlier.

Real people are allowed. Photos and clips of real human faces work normally — the gateway automatically registers your reference media with the provider, so real-person content is not blocked. (Advanced: for formally consented real-person assets, add them in the BytePlus console and pass the resulting asset://<ID>.)

                    → ERROR

Typical Workflow

  1. Send a generate request to the API endpoint
  2. Save the request_id from the response
  3. Poll every 5-10 seconds: GET /v2/requests/status/{request_id}
  4. When status is "COMPLETED", download from output.media_url

Tip: Use X-Webhook-URL header to get a callback instead of polling.

Seedance 2.0 API Documentation

Seedance 2.0 is a high-quality AI video generator. This is the standard model — best quality, with output up to 4K.

What this does: Give it photos (and/or short clips) of people or things, and it creates a video featuring them.

What you get back: a link to a finished video file (MP4) you can download.

How it works, in 3 simple steps:

  1. Send your request to the URL below, including your API key.
  2. You instantly get back a request_id and a status link. Your video is then created in the background (this takes a little time).
  3. Open the status link every few seconds until it shows COMPLETED, then download your video from the link it returns. Prefer not to keep checking? Add a webhook (see the Webhook section) and we will notify your server automatically when it is ready.

Webhook (Optional)

Add the X-Webhook-URL header to your submit request to receive a POST callback when the job completes — no polling required.

Using curl? These are HTTP request headers — pass each with -H, e.g. -H "X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback". Do not paste them as bare lines, and end every line of a multi-line command with \.

Webhook Headers

X-Webhook-ModeNoterminalterminal — fires once at the final status (COMPLETED/FAILED/ERROR). sync — fires on every poll cycle plus the terminal event, and caps the queue’s polling delay at 15s for tighter progress updates.

Example: enable webhook

X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback

Callback Payload

Your endpoint receives a POST application/json with the same shape as the GET /v2/requests/status/{request_id} response. Example terminal callback (mode terminal):

{
  "request_id": "seedance-2-0_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",

}

Delivery semantics

  • terminal mode (default) — exactly one POST when the request reaches a terminal status. No callback during PROCESSING.
  • sync modePOST on every status poll (with delay capped at ~15s) plus a final POST at terminal status. Use when you want progress updates.
  • Idempotency — use request_id as your idempotency key. Network retries can deliver the same callback more than once; your handler must tolerate duplicates.
  • Response — respond 200 OK within a few seconds. The queue does not block on slow handlers, but persistent failures may stop further deliveries.
  • HTTPS required — plain http:// URLs are rejected.

Using images & real people

You can supply an image or video in three ways:

  • A web link (URL) — a public link to your image or video file.
  • Base64 — the file encoded as a text string (for images and audio).
  • An asset IDasset://<ID>, if you uploaded the file to the asset library earlier.

Real people are allowed. Photos and clips of real human faces work normally — the gateway automatically registers your reference media with the provider, so real-person content is not blocked. (Advanced: for formally consented real-person assets, add them in the BytePlus console and pass the resulting asset://<ID>.)

The rule of 12: total references across all types may not exceed 12 (e.g. 9 images + 3 videos = 12, leaving no room for audio). Per-type caps (9 / 3 / 3) always apply within that budget.

In-Prompt Directives (optional)

Seedance 2.0 also accepts space-separated flags appended to the text prompt. If the matching JSON field is also present, the JSON field takes precedence and the directive is ignored.

Status Values

StatusDescription
QUEUEDRequest accepted, waiting to be processed
PROCESSINGBeing processed by the model
COMPLETEDDone — output contains the result
FAILEDFailed — check error field
ERRORSystem error — not charged

Status Flow

QUEUED → PROCESSING → COMPLETED
                    → FAILED
                    → ERROR

Typical Workflow

  1. Send a generate request to the API endpoint
  2. Save the request_id from the response
  3. Poll every 5-10 seconds: GET /v2/requests/status/{request_id}
  4. When status is "COMPLETED", download from output.media_url

Tip: Use X-Webhook-URL header to get a callback instead of polling.

Seedance 2.0 API Documentation

Seedance 2.0 is a high-quality AI video generator. This is the standard model — best quality, with output up to 4K.

What this does: Upload a video plus a text instruction, and it changes the video to match your request.

What you get back: a link to a finished video file (MP4) you can download.

How it works, in 3 simple steps:

  1. Send your request to the URL below, including your API key.
  2. You instantly get back a request_id and a status link. Your video is then created in the background (this takes a little time).
  3. Open the status link every few seconds until it shows COMPLETED, then download your video from the link it returns. Prefer not to keep checking? Add a webhook (see the Webhook section) and we will notify your server automatically when it is ready.

Webhook (Optional)

Add the X-Webhook-URL header to your submit request to receive a POST callback when the job completes — no polling required.

Using curl? These are HTTP request headers — pass each with -H, e.g. -H "X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback". Do not paste them as bare lines, and end every line of a multi-line command with \.

Webhook Headers

HeaderRequiredDefaultDescription
X-Webhook-URLYes (to enable)HTTPS endpoint on your server that will receive the POST callback. Must respond 2xx within a few seconds (process async if needed).
X-Webhook-ModeNoterminalterminal — fires once at the final status (COMPLETED/FAILED/ERROR). sync — fires on every poll cycle plus the terminal event, and caps the queue’s polling delay at 15s for tighter progress updates.

Example: enable webhook

X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback
X-Webhook-Mode: terminal

Callback Payload

Your endpoint receives a POST application/json with the same shape as the GET /v2/requests/status/{request_id} response. Example terminal callback (mode terminal):

{
  "request_id": "seedance-2-0_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",

  "error": "Description of the error",
  "output": null,
  "created_at": "...",
  "updated_at": "...",
  "completed_at": "..."
}

Delivery semantics

  • terminal mode (default) — exactly one POST when the request reaches a terminal status. No callback during PROCESSING.
  • sync modePOST on every status poll (with delay capped at ~15s) plus a final POST at terminal status. Use when you want progress updates.
  • Idempotency — use request_id as your idempotency key. Network retries can deliver the same callback more than once; your handler must tolerate duplicates.
  • Response — respond 200 OK within a few seconds. The queue does not block on slow handlers, but persistent failures may stop further deliveries.
  • HTTPS required — plain http:// URLs are rejected.

Using images & real people

You can supply an image or video in three ways:

  • A web link (URL) — a public link to your image or video file.
  • Base64 — the file encoded as a text string (for images and audio).
  • An asset IDasset://<ID>, if you uploaded the file to the asset library earlier.

Real people are allowed. Photos and clips of real human faces work normally — the gateway automatically registers your reference media with the provider, so real-person content is not blocked. (Advanced: for formally consented real-person assets, add them in the BytePlus console and pass the resulting asset://<ID>.)

Request Parameters - Seedance 2.0 edit-video

Status Flow

QUEUED → PROCESSING → COMPLETED
                    → FAILED
                    → ERROR

Typical Workflow

  1. Send a generate request to the API endpoint
  2. Save the request_id from the response
  3. Poll every 5-10 seconds: GET /v2/requests/status/{request_id}
  4. When status is "COMPLETED", download from output.media_url

Tip: Use X-Webhook-URL header to get a callback instead of polling.

Seedance 2.0 Fast API Documentation

Seedance 2.0 Fast is the quicker, lower-cost version of Seedance 2.0 — ideal for drafts and fast results (480p and 720p).

What this does: Give a starting image (and optionally an ending image), and it creates a video that animates between them.

What you get back: a link to a finished video file (MP4) you can download.

How it works, in 3 simple steps:

  1. Send your request to the URL below, including your API key.
  2. You instantly get back a request_id and a status link. Your video is then created in the background (this takes a little time).
  3. Open the status link every few seconds until it shows COMPLETED, then download your video from the link it returns. Prefer not to keep checking? Add a webhook (see the Webhook section) and we will notify your server automatically when it is ready.

Webhook (Optional)

Add the X-Webhook-URL header to your submit request to receive a POST callback when the job completes — no polling required.

Using curl? These are HTTP request headers — pass each with -H, e.g. -H "X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback". Do not paste them as bare lines, and end every line of a multi-line command with \.

Webhook Headers

HeaderRequiredDefaultDescription
X-Webhook-URLYes (to enable)HTTPS endpoint on your server that will receive the POST callback. Must respond 2xx within a few seconds (process async if needed).
X-Webhook-ModeNoterminalterminal — fires once at the final status (COMPLETED/FAILED/ERROR). sync — fires on every poll cycle plus the terminal event, and caps the queue’s polling delay at 15s for tighter progress updates.

Example: enable webhook

X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback
X-Webhook-Mode: terminal

Callback Payload

Your endpoint receives a POST application/json with the same shape as the GET /v2/requests/status/{request_id} response. Example terminal callback (mode terminal):

{
  "request_id": "seedance-2-0-fast_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "status": "COMPLETED",
  "model_id": "seedance-2-0-fast",

}

  "status": "ERROR",
  "model_id": "seedance-2-0-fast",
  "error": "Description of the error",
  "output": null,
  "created_at": "...",
  "updated_at": "...",
  "completed_at": "..."
}

Delivery semantics

  • terminal mode (default) — exactly one POST when the request reaches a terminal status. No callback during PROCESSING.
  • sync modePOST on every status poll (with delay capped at ~15s) plus a final POST at terminal status. Use when you want progress updates.
  • Idempotency — use request_id as your idempotency key. Network retries can deliver the same callback more than once; your handler must tolerate duplicates.
  • Response — respond 200 OK within a few seconds. The queue does not block on slow handlers, but persistent failures may stop further deliveries.
  • HTTPS required — plain http:// URLs are rejected.

Using images & real people

You can supply an image or video in three ways:

  • A web link (URL) — a public link to your image or video file.
  • Base64 — the file encoded as a text string (for images and audio).
  • An asset IDasset://<ID>, if you uploaded the file to the asset library earlier.

Real people are allowed. Photos and clips of real human faces work normally — the gateway automatically registers your reference media with the provider, so real-person content is not blocked. (Advanced: for formally consented real-person assets, add them in the BytePlus console and pass the resulting asset://<ID>.)

Request Parameters - Seedance 2.0 Fast image-to-video (first & last frames)

Content Item Types & Limits

TypeMax countFormat / SizeDescription
image_urlup to 9JPG, PNG, WEBP · < 30 MB eachReference image for character consistency, style, or composition. {"type":"image_url","image_url":{"url":"https://..."}}
video_urlup to 3MP4 · < 50 MB each · ≤ 15s combinedReference video for motion / style transfer. {"type":"video_url","video_url":{"url":"https://..."}}

text1Prompt. Address references by their 1-indexed array order — [Image1], [Video1], [Audio1] (plain "Image 1" also works).

The rule of 12: total references across all types may not exceed 12 (e.g. 9 images + 3 videos = 12, leaving no room for audio). Per-type caps (9 / 3 / 3) always apply within that budget.

In-Prompt Directives (optional)

Seedance 2.0 also accepts space-separated flags appended to the text prompt. If the matching JSON field is also present, the JSON field takes precedence and the directive is ignored.

DirectiveExampleDescription
--resolution--resolution 720pOutput resolution (480p / 720p on the Fast variant).
--seed--seed 42Reproducible seed.
--framepersecond--framepersecond 24Output frame rate (fps).
--camerafixed--camerafixed falsetrue locks the camera; false allows camera motion.

Seedance 2.0 Fast API Documentation

Seedance 2.0 Fast is the quicker, lower-cost version of Seedance 2.0 — ideal for drafts and fast results (480p and 720p).

What this does: Upload a video plus a text instruction, and it changes the video to match your request.

What you get back: a link to a finished video file (MP4) you can download.

How it works, in 3 simple steps:

  1. Send your request to the URL below, including your API key.
  2. You instantly get back a request_id and a status link. Your video is then created in the background (this takes a little time).
  3. Open the status link every few seconds until it shows COMPLETED, then download your video from the link it returns. Prefer not to keep checking? Add a webhook (see the Webhook section) and we will notify your server automatically when it is ready.

Webhook (Optional)

Add the X-Webhook-URL header to your submit request to receive a POST callback when the job completes — no polling required.

Using curl? These are HTTP request headers — pass each with -H, e.g. -H "X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback". Do not paste them as bare lines, and end every line of a multi-line command with \.

Webhook Headers

HeaderRequiredDefaultDescription
X-Webhook-URLYes (to enable)HTTPS endpoint on your server that will receive the POST callback. Must respond 2xx within a few seconds (process async if needed).
X-Webhook-ModeNoterminalterminal — fires once at the final status (COMPLETED/FAILED/ERROR). sync — fires on every poll cycle plus the terminal event, and caps the queue’s polling delay at 15s for tighter progress updates.

Example: enable webhook

X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback
X-Webhook-Mode: terminal

Callback Payload

Your endpoint receives a POST application/json with the same shape as the GET /v2/requests/status/{request_id} response. Example terminal callback (mode terminal):

{
  "request_id": "seedance-2-0-fast_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "status": "COMPLETED",
  "model_id": "seedance-2-0-fast",
  "error": null,
  "output": {
    "media_url": [
      "https://pub-582b7213209642b9b995c96c95a30381.r2.dev/v1/seedance-2-0-fast_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/output.mp4"
    ],
    "media_type": "video/mp4"
  },
  "created_at": "2026-05-22T13:17:32.110Z",
  "updated_at": "2026-05-22 13:19:23",
  "completed_at": "2026-05-22 13:19:23"
}

Failure callback shape

{
  "request_id": "seedance-2-0-fast_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "status": "ERROR",
  "model_id": "seedance-2-0-fast",
  "error": "Description of the error",
  "output": null,
  "created_at": "...",
  "updated_at": "...",
  "completed_at": "..."
}

Delivery semantics

  • terminal mode (default) — exactly one POST when the request reaches a terminal status. No callback during PROCESSING.
  • sync modePOST on every status poll (with delay capped at ~15s) plus a final POST at terminal status. Use when you want progress updates.
  • Idempotency — use request_id as your idempotency key. Network retries can deliver the same callback more than once; your handler must tolerate duplicates.
  • Response — respond 200 OK within a few seconds. The queue does not block on slow handlers, but persistent failures may stop further deliveries.
  • HTTPS required — plain http:// URLs are rejected.

Using images & real people

You can supply an image or video in three ways:

  • A web link (URL) — a public link to your image or video file.
  • Base64 — the file encoded as a text string (for images and audio).
  • An asset IDasset://<ID>, if you uploaded the file to the asset library earlier.

Real people are allowed. Photos and clips of real human faces work normally — the gateway automatically registers your reference media with the provider, so real-person content is not blocked. (Advanced: for formally consented real-person assets, add them in the BytePlus console and pass the resulting asset://<ID>.)

Webhook (Optional)

Add the X-Webhook-URL header to your submit request to receive a POST callback when the job completes — no polling required.

Using curl? These are HTTP request headers — pass each with -H, e.g. -H "X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback". Do not paste them as bare lines, and end every line of a multi-line command with \.

Webhook Headers

HeaderRequiredDefaultDescription
X-Webhook-URLYes (to enable)HTTPS endpoint on your server that will receive the POST callback. Must respond 2xx within a few seconds (process async if needed).
X-Webhook-ModeNoterminalterminal — fires once at the final status (COMPLETED/FAILED/ERROR). sync — fires on every poll cycle plus the terminal event, and caps the queue’s polling delay at 15s for tighter progress updates.

Example: enable webhook

X-Webhook-URL: https://your-server.com/webhook/callback
X-Webhook-Mode: terminal

Callback Payload

Your endpoint receives a POST application/json with the same shape as the GET /v2/requests/status/{request_id} response. Example terminal callback (mode terminal):

{
  "request_id": "bytedance-text-to-image_019dxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",

}

Delivery semantics

  • terminal mode (default) — exactly one POST when the request reaches a terminal status. No callback during PROCESSING.
  • sync modePOST on every status poll (with delay capped at ~15s) plus a final POST at terminal status. Use when you want progress updates.
  • Idempotency — use request_id as your idempotency key. Network retries can deliver the same callback more than once; your handler must tolerate duplicates.
  • Response — respond 200 OK within a few seconds. The queue does not block on slow handlers, but persistent failures may stop further deliveries.
  • HTTPS required — plain http:// URLs are rejected.

Request Parameters - Seedance 1.0 Image to Video - Bytedance API

ParameterRequiredTypeDefaultAllowed values / rangeDescription
modelYesstringseedance-1-0-pro-250528The Seedance model ID. Use seedance-1-0-pro-250528 for Seedance 1.0 Pro image-to-video generation.
textYesstringPrompt describing the desired motion. Control knobs can be embedded inline: --ratio, --resolution, --duration, --watermark, --seed, --camerafixed (see below).
image_urlYesstringPublicly accessible HTTPS URL of the source image used as the first frame of the video.
resolutionNostring720p480p, 720p, 1080pOutput resolution of the video. Appended to the prompt as --resolution when not already present. Higher resolutions cost more and take longer to generate.
durationNointeger52–12Video duration in seconds (integers only). Appended to the prompt as --duration when not already present.
framepersecondNointeger2424Frame rate of the generated video. Seedance 1.0 Pro renders at a fixed 24 fps.
watermarkNobooleanfalsetrue, falseWhether the video carries an "AI Generated" watermark in the lower-right corner.
seedNointeger-1-1 to 4294967295Seed controlling randomness. -1 uses a random seed. The same seed with an identical request produces similar (not guaranteed identical) results. Only sent upstream when set to a value other than -1.
camerafixedNobooleanfalsetrue, falseWhether to lock the camera position. When true, a fixed-camera instruction is appended to the prompt (result not guaranteed).
callback_urlNostringPublicly reachable URL that receives a POST notification from the provider each time the task status changes (queued, running, succeeded, failed, expired).
Inline knobs (embedded in the text prompt). Each body parameter above is auto-appended as its inline knob when not already present in the prompt; if you set a knob inline, use its full name (e.g. --resolution, not --rs) so the gateway does not append a conflicting default.
--ratioNostringadaptive16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16, 21:9, adaptiveAspect ratio of the generated video. adaptive (default) picks the closest ratio to the uploaded image; if a fixed ratio differs from the image, the image is center-cropped. Abbreviation: --rt. Inline only — there is no body parameter for aspect ratio.
--resolutionNostring720p480p, 720p, 1080pInline form of resolution. Abbreviation: --rs.
--durationNointeger52–12Inline form of duration. Abbreviation: --dur.
--watermarkNobooleanfalsetrue, falseInline form of watermark. Abbreviation: --wm.
--seedNointeger-1-1 to 4294967295Inline form of seed.
--camerafixedNobooleanfalsetrue, falseInline form of camerafixed. Abbreviation: --cf.
