API Endpoint

POSThttps://api.segmind.com/v1/seedance-pro

Parameters

aspect_ratiorequired
string

Defines the width to height ratio of the video. Use 16:9 for landscapes or 9:16 for vertical videos.

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

Set video length in seconds. Opt for 5 seconds for quick previews, 10 for detailed scenes.

Default: 5
Allowed values :
510
promptrequired
string

Detail the animation scene vividly. E.g., A sunset beach scene with waves lapping, people playing, sky turning orange.

resolutionrequired
string

Choose video clarity; 720p for most uses, 480p for faster processing.

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

Whether to fix the camera position.

Default: false
image_urloptional
string (uri)

URL to the first frame image for video generation. Use this to specify the starting frame of your video. Can be used alone or together with last_frame_url.

last_frame_urloptional
string (uri)

URL to the last frame image for video generation. Use this together with first_frame_url to specify both the starting and ending frames of your video. The model will generate smooth transitions between the two frames. Note: Requires first_frame_url to be provided.

seedoptional
integer

Define a seed for consistent outputs. Any number 1-999999 suffices.

Range: 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-pro

    Submitreturns request_id, status_url, response_url

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

  3. 3

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.
