API Endpoint

Parameters

aspect_ratiorequired
string

Set video shape; 16:9 for widescreen, 9:16 for vertical.

Default: "16:9"
Allowed values :
"adaptive""16:9""4:3""1:1""3:4""9:16"
durationrequired
integer

Set video length; 4 for shorts, 10 for extended scenes.

Range: 4 - 12
promptrequired
string

Define animation content; example: Journey through a bustling cityscape.

resolutionrequired
string

Choose video quality; 720p for standard, 1080p for clear detail.

Default: "720p"
Allowed values :
"480p""720p""1080p"
camera_fixedoptional
boolean

Decide on camera movement; enable for static scenes like landscapes.

Default: false
first_frame_urloptional
string (uri)

Starting frame image for smooth transitions; use https://example.com/start.png for a bright start.

Default: ""
generate_audiooptional
boolean

Generate audio if needed; enable for dynamic content.

Default: true
last_frame_urloptional
string (uri)

Ending frame image for coherent transitions; use https://example.com/end.png for a soft close.

Default: ""
seedoptional
integer

Ensure consistency with a seed; select 12345 for reproducible scenes.

Default: 12345Range: 1 - 999999
skip_moderationoptional
boolean

Bypass BytePlus content moderation pre-filter. Useful when generating artistic content or faces that may trigger false positives. Baseline BytePlus safety policies still apply.

Default: false

Response Type

Returns: Video

Asynchronous requests (v2)

Use Async for video, long-running (>~60s), or high-concurrency workloads; Sync is simplest for fast image & LLM calls. Async submits a request and you poll it to completion.

  1. 1
    POST /v2/seedance-1.5-pro

    Submitreturns request_id, status_url, response_url

  2. 2
    GET /v2/requests/{id}/status

    Polluntil COMPLETED or FAILED

  3. 3
    GET /v2/requests/{id}

Status states

QUEUEDAccepted, waiting for a worker
PROCESSINGRunning on a worker
COMPLETEDDone — result body is ready
FAILEDErrored (incl. content/RAI blocks)
  • A FAILED request is served as HTTP 422 — the body still carries the error detail.
  • An unknown or expired request_id returns HTTP 404.
  • Results are retained for 1 hour, then expire.
  • Content / RAI blocks surface as FAILED, not a separate state.
  • Track completion by polling the status endpoint.
