# Seedance 2.5

POST https://api.beatapi.io/v1/videos/tasks
Content-Type: application/json

Generate 4–30 second videos at 480p, 720p or 1080p from text, a first and last frame, or up to 30 images, 10 videos and 10 audio clips as references; edit or extend a video.- Asynchronous: the create call returns a task ID; the video arrives when the task succeeds (usually a few minutes).
- Four ways in: text only, a first frame, a first and last frame, or reference images, videos and audio in any mix (audio alone works too).
- `task_type` says whether reference videos are material for a new video, a video to edit, or a video to extend, so the request is checked before you pay.
- Sound is generated by default at no extra cost; MP4 by default, MOV on request.
- Billed by the size and length of the video, plus the length of any reference videos. A failed task costs nothing.POST/v1/videos/tasksTry itOpens this model in the API Explorer. Enter your BeatAPI API key to create a task: the call is real and is billed to your own balance.## Model IDsFour Seedance models share this endpoint. The values below come straight from the gateway contract; only Seedance 2.5 accepts `task_type`, `output_format` and `seed`.| Model ID           | `duration` (s) | `resolution`                  | Max reference images | Max reference videos | Max reference audio | Choose it when                                                                                      |

string
RequiredYour BeatAPI API key, sent as `Bearer <BEATAPI_API_KEY>`. Create keys in the [Dashboard](https://beatapi.io/dashboard). Keep keys on your server; never ship them in a browser or mobile app.Send the body as JSON with `Content-Type: application/json`. `Idempotency-Key` is optional: send a unique value (at most 255 characters) per logical request and reuse it only to retry that exact body. Within 24 hours a retry with the same key and body returns the first response again with `Idempotent-Replayed: true`; the same key with a different body returns `409 idempotency_conflict`. Responses other than 2xx are not stored, so a retry after a 400 or 402 runs again.## How a request works`POST` the parameters below to the endpoint. A `201` means the task was accepted and its price reserved from your balance; the work runs in the background. Save `data.id`.Call `GET /v1/tasks/{task_id}` and wait `data.poll_after_seconds` between calls (5 s for images, 8 s for videos) until `status` is `succeeded` or `failed`. Or register a [webhook](/webhooks) for `task.succeeded` and `task.failed`; keep polling as the fallback, because a task stopped by the processing timeout sends no event.On `succeeded`, download every `data.output.media[].url` and store the files you need; BeatAPI does not promise how long result URLs stay available. On `failed`, read `data.error_code` and `data.error_message`: the reserved amount was returned to your balance, and `data.retryable` says whether sending the same request again can succeed.## Input modes| Mode                 | Required inputs                                                                               | Notes                                                                                                                 |

string
RequiredThe model to run.**Value**: `seedance-2.5`**If the value is wrong**- Missing: `"model" is required`
- An image model sent to this endpoint: `"model" nano-banana-2 is served by POST /v1/images/tasks, not this endpoint`prompt
string
RequiredWhat happens in the video: subject, action, camera movement, style and sound. With references, say what each input is for.**Length**: 1–5000 characters- Length is counted in characters (a CJK character counts as one).
- Refer to inputs by their position, for example “the first reference image” or “the second reference video”.
- When you make a new video from reference videos, avoid words such as “replace”, “remove” or “extend”, or the model may read the request as an edit; send `task_type: "reference"` to be sure. For `edit`, say what to change and what to keep. For `extend`, describe what happens next.**If the value is wrong**- Missing: `"prompt" is required`
- Empty or longer than the limit: `"prompt" has an unsupported length`images
string[]
OptionalA first frame, or a first and a last frame.**Items**: 1–2  \
Each item is a public `https://` URL. For a local file, [upload it first](/quick-guide#upload-an-input-file) with `POST /v1/files` and pass the returned `data.url`.- One link: the video starts from this image. Two links: `images[0]` is the first frame and `images[1]` the last.
- The video takes the aspect ratio of the first image; `aspect_ratio` is not applied.
- For more pictures, or pictures that guide the video without being frames, use `reference_images` instead.**If the value is wrong**- More than two links: `"images" accepts at most 2 items`
- Combined with any reference\_\* field: `Cannot combine "images" with reference inputs in one task`
- Not an https\:// link: `"images[0]" must be a public HTTPS URL`reference_images
string[]
OptionalPictures that guide the content, characters, products or style of the video.**Items**: 1–30  \
Each item is a public `https://` URL. For a local file, [upload it first](/quick-guide#upload-an-input-file) with `POST /v1/files` and pass the returned `data.url`.- Images are used in list order; refer to them in the prompt by position.**If the value is wrong**- More than the maximum: `"reference_images" accepts at most 30 items`
- Combined with `images`: `Cannot combine "images" with reference inputs in one task`reference_videos
string[]
OptionalVideos to take motion, camera work or content from, or the video to edit or extend (see `task_type`).**Items**: 1–10  \
Each item is a public `https://` URL. For a local file, [upload it first](/quick-guide#upload-an-input-file) with `POST /v1/files` and pass the returned `data.url`.- Each link must return an MP4 or MOV file whose host allows byte-range requests: the gateway reads the length of every clip before creating the task, because reference seconds are billed.
- Required for `task_type` `edit` and `extend`.Reference videos add to the price for every second they run (see Billing). Trim them to the part you need.**If the value is wrong**- More than the maximum: `"reference_videos" accepts at most 10 items`
- The clip cannot be read: `A reference video could not be read: reference_videos[0]: its host does not allow byte-range requests. Send an MP4 or MOV file at a public HTTPS URL whose host allows byte-range requests.`reference_audios
string[]
OptionalMusic, voice or sound to follow. Audio alone, without any image or video reference, is accepted.**Items**: 1–10  \
Each item is a public `https://` URL. For a local file, [upload it first](/quick-guide#upload-an-input-file) with `POST /v1/files` and pass the returned `data.url`.- WAV and MP3 clips are measured against the limits below; other formats are passed to the model unmeasured.**If the value is wrong**- More than the maximum: `"reference_audios" accepts at most 10 items`duration
integer
OptionalDefault: 5Length of the video in seconds, a whole number.**Default**: `5`  \
**Range**: 4–30- If you leave it out, `5` is sent — also with `task_type` `auto` and `reference`.
- With `task_type: "extend"`, always send it: it is the length of the finished video including the source. To add 5 seconds to a 5-second clip, send `10`; leaving it out asks for 5 seconds in total.
- With `task_type: "edit"`, leave it out: the result keeps the source video’s length.**If the value is wrong**- Outside the range or not a whole number: `"duration" is outside its supported range`
- Sent with `task_type: "edit"`: `task_type "edit" keeps the reference video's length: leave "duration" out`aspect_ratio
string
OptionalDefault: adaptiveShape of the video as width:height. `adaptive` lets the model choose from the inputs.**Allowed values**: `adaptive`, `21:9`, `16:9`, `4:3`, `1:1`, `3:4`, `9:16`  \
**Default**: `adaptive`- Ignored when `images` carries a first frame: the video takes the frame’s aspect ratio.
- With `task_type` `edit` or `extend`, leave it out or send `adaptive`: the result keeps the source video’s shape.
- With `adaptive` (or frames) the reservation assumes the largest frame of the chosen resolution, so it can be slightly higher than with a fixed ratio.**If the value is wrong**- A value not in the list: `"aspect_ratio" must be one of: [adaptive 21:9 16:9 4:3 1:1 3:4 9:16]`
- A fixed ratio with `edit` or `extend`: `task_type "edit" keeps the reference video's aspect ratio: leave "aspect_ratio" out or send "adaptive"`resolution
string
OptionalDefault: 720pOutput resolution. Higher resolution costs more per second.**Allowed values**: `480p`, `720p`, `1080p`  \
**Default**: `720p`- Lower case only. 4K is not available on Seedance 2.5 (use `seedance-2`).**If the value is wrong**- A value not in the list (for example `4k` or `720P`): `"resolution" must be one of: [480p 720p 1080p]`generate_audio
boolean
OptionalDefault: trueWhether the video has a generated soundtrack. The price is the same either way.**Default**: `true`**If the value is wrong**- Not true or false: `"generate_audio" must be a boolean`seed
integer
OptionalA fixed number makes results easier to repeat; leave it out or send `-1` for a random seed.**Range**: -1–4294967295- The same seed with the same request gives similar, not guaranteed identical, results.**If the value is wrong**- Outside the range: `"seed" is outside its supported range`task_type
string
OptionalWhat to do with `reference_videos`: make a new video from them (`reference`), edit one (`edit`), or extend one (`extend`). `auto` (or leaving it out) lets the model decide from the prompt.**Allowed values**: `auto`, `reference`, `edit`, `extend`- Naming the type lets the gateway check the request before anything is charged; see Task types below for the rules of each.
- With `auto` or `reference` a duration is always sent (`5` if you leave it out), so a prompt the model reads as an edit fails after submission (refunded) or is re-run as an edit billed at the source video’s length. Send `edit` when you mean an edit.**If the value is wrong**- A value not in the list: `"task_type" must be one of: [auto reference edit extend]`
- `edit` or `extend` without a reference video: `task_type "edit" needs a video in "reference_videos"`
- `reference` without any reference input: `task_type "reference" needs reference inputs`output_format
string
OptionalContainer of the result: `mp4` (used when you leave it out) or `mov`. The price is the same.**Allowed values**: `mp4`, `mov`- `mov` suits further editing. It is not always available; when it is not, the request is refused before anything is charged with a sentence naming the formats you can use now.**If the value is wrong**- A value not in the list: `"output_format" must be one of: [mp4 mov]`The gateway also checks these combinations before creating the task:- images cannot be combined with reference inputs## Input media limitsThe gateway reads every input before the task is created and refuses one outside these limits with a `400 bad_request` that names the input. Nothing is charged.| Media  | Limits checked before the task is created                                                                                                                                            |

A clip whose length cannot be read is always refused, because its seconds are billed.
- Image size is checked when the host reports it. Use JPEG, PNG or WebP; a file the model cannot use fails the task after submission with `bad_request`, and the task is refunded.
- Limits are reported in the order length, sides, aspect ratio, pixels, frame rate and size. The message names the input by list and position, counting from 0 like the field errors: `reference_videos[0] is 1.5 seconds long; this model takes reference video of 2 to 30 seconds.`
- Lengths are measured with a 0.1-second tolerance. Sizes are checked only when the host reports them.
- Image and audio links are refused at create only when the host answers with a 4xx error or returns an empty file, for example `images[1] could not be downloaded: the URL returned HTTP 404.`; other problems with them surface after submission.
- A clip at 23.976 FPS counts as below 24 and is refused; re-export it at 24 FPS or higher.
- Have a local file?

| To continue a video             | `task_type: "extend"`    | Describe what happens next, and set `duration` to the total length.                                        |## Fields this model does not acceptSending one of these is refused before anything is charged, instead of being ignored:- `watermark`, `quality`, `sound`, `multi_shots` or `character_orientation` → `field "watermark" is not supported by model seedance-2.5` (with the field you sent).
- A name no BeatAPI video model uses → `unknown field: <name>`.

```## Billing- The price follows the size and length of the video: more seconds, a higher resolution or a larger frame cost more. Sound and `output_format` do not change it; reference images and audio add nothing.
- Without reference video, a 16:9 clip costs about $0.106 (480p), $0.228 (720p) or \$0.564 (1080p) per second. Other aspect ratios differ by a few percent.
- With `reference_videos`, the whole request moves to the lower “with video input” rate, and every second of reference video counts like a second of output: about $0.064 (480p), $0.137 (720p) or \$0.337 (1080p) per second of output plus reference, at 16:9.
- The table below shows 8-second clips; its “with video input” rows include an 8-second reference video.
- An edit pays for the source video twice — once as the reference and once as the output, which keeps the source’s length (rounded up to a whole second). `usage.billable_duration_seconds` shows the output seconds.
- The price is reserved when the task is created. With `adaptive` or frames the reservation assumes the largest frame of the resolution. You pay the reservation, or the actual amount if the delivered video comes to more.
- A very short reference video can be billed for a minimum length, which can bring the settled amount above the reservation; `usage` on the finished task shows what was charged.
- A failed task, including one refused by moderation after submission, is refunded in full.Current list prices, the same as on [Pricing](https://beatapi.io/pricing). An account with a negotiated discount pays less; `data.usage` on the task always shows the amount actually charged.| Option                           | List price (USD) |

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Send your API key as `Authorization: Bearer <BEATAPI_API_KEY>`.

## Servers

- `https://api.beatapi.io` (Direct, default)
- `https://api.beatapi.io` (API)

## Request

### Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` (string, optional) — Send the body as JSON with `Content-Type: application/json`. `Idempotency-Key` is optional: send a unique value (at most 255 characters) per logical request and reuse it only to retry that exact body. Within 24 hours a retry with the same key and body returns the first response again with `Idempotent-Replayed: true`; the same key with a different body returns `409 idempotency_conflict`. Responses other than 2xx are not stored, so a retry after a 400 or 402 runs again.

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects a Seedance25VideoRequest.

- `model` (enum, required) — The model to run. **Value**: `seedance-2.5` **If the value is wrong** - Missing: `"model" is required` - An image model sent to this endpoint: `"model" nano-banana-2 is served by POST /v1/images/tasks, not this endpoint`
  - Allowed values: `seedance-2.5`
- `prompt` (string, required) — What happens in the video: subject, action, camera movement, style and sound. With references, say what each input is for. **Length**: 1–5000 characters - Length is counted in characters (a CJK character counts as one). - Refer to inputs by their position, for example “the first reference image” or “the second reference video”. - When you make a new video from reference videos, avoid words such as “replace”, “remove” or “extend”, or the model may read the request as an edit; send `task_type: "reference"` to be sure. For `edit`, say what to change and what to keep. For `extend`, describe what happens next. **If the value is wrong** - Missing: `"prompt" is required` - Empty or longer than the limit: `"prompt" has an unsupported length`
- `aspect_ratio` (enum, optional, default: adaptive) — Shape of the video as width:height. `adaptive` lets the model choose from the inputs. **Allowed values**: `adaptive`, `21:9`, `16:9`, `4:3`, `1:1`, `3:4`, `9:16` **Default**: `adaptive` - Ignored when `images` carries a first frame: the video takes the frame’s aspect ratio. - With `task_type` `edit` or `extend`, leave it out or send `adaptive`: the result keeps the source video’s shape. - With `adaptive` (or frames) the reservation assumes the largest frame of the chosen resolution, so it can be slightly higher than with a fixed ratio. **If the value is wrong** - A value not in the list: `"aspect_ratio" must be one of: [adaptive 21:9 16:9 4:3 1:1 3:4 9:16]` - A fixed ratio with `edit` or `extend`: `task_type "edit" keeps the reference video's aspect ratio: leave "aspect_ratio" out or send "adaptive"`
  - Allowed values: `adaptive`, `21:9`, `16:9`, `4:3`, `1:1`, `3:4`, `9:16`
- `duration` (integer, optional, default: 5) — Length of the video in seconds, a whole number. **Default**: `5` **Range**: 4–30 - If you leave it out, `5` is sent — also with `task_type` `auto` and `reference`. - With `task_type: "extend"`, always send it: it is the length of the finished video including the source. To add 5 seconds to a 5-second clip, send `10`; leaving it out asks for 5 seconds in total. - With `task_type: "edit"`, leave it out: the result keeps the source video’s length. **If the value is wrong** - Outside the range or not a whole number: `"duration" is outside its supported range` - Sent with `task_type: "edit"`: `task_type "edit" keeps the reference video's length: leave "duration" out`
- `generate_audio` (boolean, optional, default: true) — Whether the video has a generated soundtrack. The price is the same either way. **Default**: `true` **If the value is wrong** - Not true or false: `"generate_audio" must be a boolean`
- `images` (list of string, optional) — A first frame, or a first and a last frame. **Items**: 1–2 Each item is a public `https://` URL. For a local file, [upload it first](/quick-guide#upload-an-input-file) with `POST /v1/files` and pass the returned `data.url`. - One link: the video starts from this image. Two links: `images[0]` is the first frame and `images[1]` the last. - The video takes the aspect ratio of the first image; `aspect_ratio` is not applied. - For more pictures, or pictures that guide the video without being frames, use `reference_images` instead. **If the value is wrong** - More than two links: `"images" accepts at most 2 items` - Combined with any reference_* field: `Cannot combine "images" with reference inputs in one task` - Not an https:// link: `"images[0]" must be a public HTTPS URL`
- `output_format` (enum, optional) — Container of the result: `mp4` (used when you leave it out) or `mov`. The price is the same. **Allowed values**: `mp4`, `mov` - `mov` suits further editing. It is not always available; when it is not, the request is refused before anything is charged with a sentence naming the formats you can use now. **If the value is wrong** - A value not in the list: `"output_format" must be one of: [mp4 mov]`
  - Allowed values: `mp4`, `mov`
- `reference_audios` (list of string, optional) — Music, voice or sound to follow. Audio alone, without any image or video reference, is accepted. **Items**: 1–10 Each item is a public `https://` URL. For a local file, [upload it first](/quick-guide#upload-an-input-file) with `POST /v1/files` and pass the returned `data.url`. - WAV and MP3 clips are measured against the limits below; other formats are passed to the model unmeasured. **If the value is wrong** - More than the maximum: `"reference_audios" accepts at most 10 items`
- `reference_images` (list of string, optional) — Pictures that guide the content, characters, products or style of the video. **Items**: 1–30 Each item is a public `https://` URL. For a local file, [upload it first](/quick-guide#upload-an-input-file) with `POST /v1/files` and pass the returned `data.url`. - Images are used in list order; refer to them in the prompt by position. **If the value is wrong** - More than the maximum: `"reference_images" accepts at most 30 items` - Combined with `images`: `Cannot combine "images" with reference inputs in one task`
- `reference_videos` (list of string, optional) — Videos to take motion, camera work or content from, or the video to edit or extend (see `task_type`). **Items**: 1–10 Each item is a public `https://` URL. For a local file, [upload it first](/quick-guide#upload-an-input-file) with `POST /v1/files` and pass the returned `data.url`. - Each link must return an MP4 or MOV file whose host allows byte-range requests: the gateway reads the length of every clip before creating the task, because reference seconds are billed. - Required for `task_type` `edit` and `extend`. **Notes**: Reference videos add to the price for every second they run (see Billing). Trim them to the part you need. **If the value is wrong** - More than the maximum: `"reference_videos" accepts at most 10 items` - The clip cannot be read: `A reference video could not be read: reference_videos[0]: its host does not allow byte-range requests. Send an MP4 or MOV file at a public HTTPS URL whose host allows byte-range requests.`
- `resolution` (enum, optional, default: 720p) — Output resolution. Higher resolution costs more per second. **Allowed values**: `480p`, `720p`, `1080p` **Default**: `720p` - Lower case only. 4K is not available on Seedance 2.5 (use `seedance-2`). **If the value is wrong** - A value not in the list (for example `4k` or `720P`): `"resolution" must be one of: [480p 720p 1080p]`
  - Allowed values: `480p`, `720p`, `1080p`
- `seed` (integer, optional) — A fixed number makes results easier to repeat; leave it out or send `-1` for a random seed. **Range**: -1–4294967295 - The same seed with the same request gives similar, not guaranteed identical, results. **If the value is wrong** - Outside the range: `"seed" is outside its supported range`
- `task_type` (enum, optional) — What to do with `reference_videos`: make a new video from them (`reference`), edit one (`edit`), or extend one (`extend`). `auto` (or leaving it out) lets the model decide from the prompt. **Allowed values**: `auto`, `reference`, `edit`, `extend` - Naming the type lets the gateway check the request before anything is charged; see Task types below for the rules of each. - With `auto` or `reference` a duration is always sent (`5` if you leave it out), so a prompt the model reads as an edit fails after submission (refunded) or is re-run as an edit billed at the source video’s length. Send `edit` when you mean an edit. **If the value is wrong** - A value not in the list: `"task_type" must be one of: [auto reference edit extend]` - `edit` or `extend` without a reference video: `task_type "edit" needs a video in "reference_videos"` - `reference` without any reference input: `task_type "reference" needs reference inputs`
  - Allowed values: `auto`, `reference`, `edit`, `extend`
