Parameters

aspect_ratiorequired
string

Video shape.

Default: "16:9"
Allowed values :
Adaptive"adaptive"
Widescreen (16:9)"16:9"
Landscape (4:3)"4:3"
Square (1:1)"1:1"
Portrait (3:4)"3:4"
Vertical (9:16)"9:16"
durationrequired
integer

Video length in seconds. 4 for shorts, up to 12 for extended scenes.

Default: 5Range: 4 - 12
promptrequired
string

Describe the animation content.

Default: "A sleek black Porsche 911 on a coastal cliff road at golden hour - camera slowly orbits 90 degrees around the car revealing the vast ocean backdrop - cinematic smooth orbital camera movement - warm golden backlit glow with lens flares - engine ignition roar fading into crashing ocean waves and coastal wind"
resolutionrequired
string

Video quality. 720p for standard, 1080p for the clearest detail.

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

Lock the camera in place. Enable for static scenes like landscapes.

Default: false
first_frame_urloptional
string (uri)

Optional starting frame image for a smooth transition.

generate_audiooptional
boolean

Generate an audio track alongside the video. Videos with audio bill at $2.40 per 1M output tokens vs $1.20 without — about 2x per video.

Default: true
last_frame_urloptional
string (uri)

Optional ending frame image for a coherent transition.

seedoptional
integer

Seed for reproducible results.

Default: 12345Range: 1 - 999999
skip_moderationoptional
boolean

Bypass the provider's content moderation pre-filter. Useful for artistic content or faces that may trigger false positives; baseline 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.
