Content-Type: application/json

Copy-paste async quickstart

This minimal request submits a text-to-video task and returns a taskId.

curl -X POST "https://api.apixo.ai/api/v1/generateTask/seedance-2-0-fast" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "request_type": "async",
    "input": {
      "mode": "text-to-video",
      "prompt": "a cinematic tracking shot through a rainy neon street",
      "resolution": "720p",
      "duration": 5,
      "aspect_ratio": "16:9",
      "sound": true,
      "web_search": false
    }
  }'

Successful response:

{
  "code": 200,
  "message": "success",
  "data": {
    "taskId": "task_12345678"
  }
}

Save the taskId; you need it to poll for the final result.

string

Required when request_type is callback. Must be a public HTTPS URL that can receive the final task payload. See Webhooks.

input

object

required

Seedance 2.0 Fast input parameters.

Show properties

mode

string

required

Generation mode. Supported values: text-to-video, first_and_last_frames, omni_reference.

prompt

string

required

Text prompt describing the desired video. The value is trimmed and must not be empty.

resolution

string

default:"720p"

Output resolution. Supported values: 480p, 720p.

duration

integer

default:"5"

Output duration in seconds. Supports integers from 4 to 15. Numeric strings are accepted and normalized, but integers are recommended.

aspect_ratio

string

default:"auto"

Output aspect ratio. Supported values: auto, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16, 21:9.

sound

boolean

default:"true"

Whether to generate audio with the output video.

web_search

boolean

default:"false"

Enables web search so the provider can reference current information during generation.

image_urls

string[]

Reference image URLs. Required for first_and_last_frames with 1-2 images. Optional for omni_reference with 1-9 images.

video_urls

string[]

Reference video URLs for omni_reference mode only. When provided, supports 1-3 URLs. Each video must be 2-15 seconds, and total reference video duration cannot exceed 15 seconds.

audio_urls

string[]

Reference audio URLs for omni_reference mode only. When provided, supports 1-3 URLs. Each audio file must be 2-15 seconds, and total reference audio duration cannot exceed 15 seconds.

Mode-specific constraints

text-to-video uses the prompt and generation settings only.
first_and_last_frames requires image_urls with 1-2 images. The first image is the starting frame; the second image, when present, is the ending frame.
omni_reference can combine image_urls, video_urls, and audio_urls.
omni_reference requests with only audio_urls, and no images or videos, are rejected.
Reference media must be publicly reachable URLs so the API can fetch or probe them.

Webhook callback mode

Use callback mode when your backend should receive the final result automatically instead of polling.

curl -X POST "https://api.apixo.ai/api/v1/generateTask/seedance-2-0-fast" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "request_type": "callback",
    "callback_url": "https://your-server.com/webhooks/apixo",
    "input": {
      "mode": "first_and_last_frames",
      "prompt": "turn the still frames into a smooth cinematic camera move",
      "image_urls": [
        "https://example.com/frame-start.png",
        "https://example.com/frame-end.png"
      ],
      "resolution": "720p",
      "duration": 5,
      "aspect_ratio": "9:16",
      "sound": true,
      "web_search": false
    }
  }'

See Webhooks for delivery requirements and retry behavior.

Billing

Seedance 2.0 Fast is billed per second. The selected resolution and whether omni_reference includes video_urls determine the unit price.

Configuration	APIXO price
`480p`, without video reference	`$0.076 / second`
`480p`, with video reference	`$0.047 / second`
`720p`, without video reference	`$0.156 / second`
`720p`, with video reference	`$0.095 / second`

Billing formulas:

Without video reference: output duration seconds x per-second rate
With video reference: (output duration seconds + total reference video seconds) x per-second rate

text-to-video and first_and_last_frames always use the “without video reference” rate. In omni_reference mode, “with video reference” applies only when video_urls is provided. Image and audio references do not add extra billable seconds. For current route and market comparison pricing, see Pricing.

Latency and polling

Actual latency may vary by prompt complexity, reference media, provider route, and current queue load.

Workflow	Typical generation time	Recommended first poll	Poll interval
Text-to-video	3-6 minutes	200-300s after task creation	10-20s
First-and-last-frames	3-6 minutes	200-300s after task creation	10-20s
Omni-reference	3-6 minutes	200-300s after task creation	10-20s

For production workloads, use callback mode to reduce polling overhead during longer video tasks.

No visible status change during the first few minutes can be normal for this model. Keep polling with backoff instead of immediately retrying the same task.

Result URLs can be temporary. Download generated videos promptly after task completion.

Errors and troubleshooting

HTTP errors

Code	Meaning	What to do
`400`	Invalid request body, missing parameter, unsupported value, or invalid reference media	Fix the request before retrying
`401`	Missing or invalid API key	Check the `Authorization` header
`402`	Insufficient balance or quota	Add balance or switch account/key
`403`	Key or route cannot access the model	Check permissions and route strategy
`404`	Task not found	Check the `taskId` and model endpoint
`429`	Rate limit or concurrency limit reached	Retry with exponential backoff
`500`	Server error or unmapped provider failure	Retry with backoff
`502`	Upstream provider error	Retry with backoff
`504`	Upstream timeout	Retry or use callback mode for long-running jobs

Common request validation errors

Error	Meaning	What to do
`Missing required parameter`	`input`, `mode`, `prompt`, or a mode-specific required field is missing	Add the required field
`Invalid parameter type`	A field has the wrong JSON type	Use strings for text fields and URLs, booleans for `sound` and `web_search`, and integers for `duration`
`Invalid parameter value`	A value is outside the supported set or range	Check `mode`, `resolution`, `duration`, `aspect_ratio`, and reference media durations
`Param length exceeded`	Too many reference URLs were provided	Keep `image_urls`, `video_urls`, and `audio_urls` within the documented limits
`ImageNotAccess`	A referenced URL could not be accessed	Use public, direct media URLs

Task failure codes

Fail code	Meaning	What to do
`PromptInvalid`	Prompt or input was rejected by the provider	Adjust the prompt or references
`SensitiveContent`	Input or output was flagged by safety checks	Change the prompt or input media
`RateLimited`	Provider or account rate limit was reached	Retry with exponential backoff
`Timeout`	Provider timed out	Retry later or use callback mode
`Unknown error`	Provider returned an unmapped failure	Retry with backoff or contact support with the `taskId`
