Retry later or send the request without draft. type: invalid_request_error components: schemas: VideoGenerationRequest: type: object required: - model - prompt properties: model: type: string description: Video generation model name enum: - seedance-2.5-text-to-video default: seedance-2.5-text-to-video example: seedance-2.5-text-to-video prompt: type: string description: >- Text prompt describing the desired video. Supports both Chinese and English, recommended no more than 500 characters for Chinese or 1000 words for English. Maximum prompt length: 10000 tokens **Note:** - This model is text-to-video only and does not support `image_urls`, `video_urls`, or `audio_urls` input example: >- A macro lens focuses on a green glass frog on a leaf. The focus gradually shifts from its smooth skin to its completely transparent abdomen, where a bright red heart is beating powerfully and rhythmically. duration: type: integer description: >- Video duration (seconds), defaults to `5` seconds **Details:** - Supports any integer value between `4`–`30` seconds - `-1`: automatic duration, the model picks a length within `4`–`30` seconds and billing follows the actual output length - Duration directly affects billing default: 5 example: 8 quality: type: string description: >- Video resolution, defaults to `720p` **Options:** - `480p`: Lower clarity, lower cost - `720p`: Standard clarity, this is the default - `1080p`: Ultra HD clarity **Draft mode:** When `draft` is `true`, only `480p` is supported. If omitted, `quality` automatically defaults to `480p` enum: - 480p - 720p - 1080p default: 720p example: 720p draft: type: boolean default: false description: >- Draft mode switch, defaults to `false` **Details:** - `true`: Generate a 480p draft first, with faster turnaround and standard 480p billing - When enabled, `quality` must be `480p` or omitted. Any other resolution returns a 400 parameter error - Must be a top-level request body field. Placing it inside `model_params` returns a 400 parameter error **Convert to a final video:** - Once the draft is complete, [querying the task](/en/api-manual/task-management/get-task-detail) returns `draft_expires_at` - Before that time, pass the draft task ID to [Seedance 2.5 Draft-to-Video](/en/api-manual/video-series/seedance/seedance-2.5/seedance-2.5-draft-to-video) to generate a 1080p final video with the same content - The final video and draft are billed separately. If you are not satisfied with the draft, skip conversion and pay only for the draft - The default validity period is 24 hours after the draft completes; the actual deadline is `draft_expires_at`. Submit the conversion request early: expiration while queued also causes conversion to fail **Temporary unavailability:** A 503 error may be returned when the service is temporarily unavailable. If the error code is `draft_unavailable`, retry later or remove `draft` to use normal generation mode example: false aspect_ratio: type: string description: >- Video aspect ratio, defaults to `adaptive` **Options:** - `16:9` (landscape), `9:16` (portrait), `1:1` (square), `4:3`, `3:4`, `21:9` (ultrawide) - `adaptive`: The model intelligently selects the best aspect ratio based on the prompt **Pixel values per resolution:** | Aspect Ratio | 480p | 720p | 1080p | |:------:|:----:|:----:|:----:| | 16:9 | 854×480 | 1280×720 | 1920×1080 | | 4:3 | 752×560 | 1112×834 | 1664×1248 | | 1:1 | 640×640 | 960×960 | 1440×1440 | | 3:4 | 560×752 | 834×1112 | 1248×1664 | | 9:16 | 480×854 | 720×1280 | 1080×1920 | | 21:9 | 992×432 | 1470×630 | 2206×946 | enum: - '16:9' - '9:16' - '1:1' - '4:3' - '3:4' - '21:9' - adaptive default: adaptive example: '16:9' generate_audio: type: boolean description: >- Whether to generate synchronized audio, defaults to `true` **Options:** - `true`: Video includes synchronized audio (voice, sound effects, background music) at no additional charge. It is recommended to place dialogue within double quotes to optimize audio generation - `false`: Output silent video default: true example: true content_filter: type: boolean description: >- Content filter, enabled by default `true` **Options:** - `true`: Standard content safety check, this is the default - `false`: Relaxes content restrictions, billed at +10% (`1.1x`). Illegal and prohibited content is always enforced regardless of this setting **Mutually exclusive with web search:** - `content_filter: false` and `model_params.web_search: true` cannot be used together; sending both returns a 400 parameter error - Keep `content_filter: true` (the default) when web search is needed default: true example: true output_format: type: string description: >- Output container format, defaults to `mp4` **Options:** - `mp4`: H.264 encoding with the best compatibility and standard color precision, this is the default - `mov`: H.264 + yuv444p chroma sampling + PCM audio for higher color fidelity, recommended for color grading, keying and compositing workflows. Browser inline playback may not support it; download and play with VLC / mpv / ffplay. No extra charge enum: - mp4 - mov default: mp4 example: mp4 model_params: type: object description: Model extension parameters properties: web_search: type: boolean description: >- Web search, defaults to `false` **Details:** - When enabled, the model autonomously decides whether to search internet content (e.g., products, weather) based on the prompt, improving timeliness - May increase latency - Fees are only charged when searches are actually triggered; multiple searches may occur once enabled **Mutually exclusive with the content filter:** - Keep `content_filter: true` when web search is enabled; using it together with `content_filter: false` returns a 400 parameter error default: false example: false callback_url: type: string description: >- HTTPS callback URL for task completion **Callback timing:** - Triggered when the task is completed or failed - Sent after billing confirmation is complete **Security restrictions:** - Only HTTPS protocol is supported - Callbacks to private IP addresses are prohibited (127.0.0.1, 10.x.x.x, 172.16-31.x.x, 192.168.x.x, etc.) - URL length must not exceed `2048` characters **Callback mechanism:** - Timeout: `10` seconds - Up to `3` retries after failure (at `1`/`2`/`4` seconds after failure respectively) - Callback response body format is consistent with the task query endpoint response format - A 2xx status code is considered successful; other status codes trigger retries format: uri example: https://your-domain.com/webhooks/video-task-completed VideoGenerationResponse: type: object properties: created: type: integer description: Task creation timestamp example: 1761313744 id: type: string description: Task ID example: task-unified-1774857405-abc123 model: type: string description: Actual model name used example: seedance-2.5-text-to-video object: type: string enum: - video.generation.task description: Specific type of the task progress: type: integer description: Task progress percentage (0-100) minimum: 0 maximum: 100 example: 0 status: type: string description: Task status enum: - pending - processing - completed - failed example: pending task_info: $ref: '#/components/schemas/VideoTaskInfo' description: Video task details type: type: string enum: - text - image - audio - video description: Output type of the task example: video usage: $ref: '#/components/schemas/VideoUsage' description: Usage and billing information ErrorResponse: type: object properties: error: type: object properties: code: type: string description: Error code identifier message: type: string description: Error description message type: type: string description: Error type VideoTaskInfo: type: object properties: can_cancel: type: boolean description: >- Whether the task can be cancelled.
