Authentication

All API requests must be authenticated with an API Key. You can obtain an API Key from the console.

export ICREAT_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

HTTP Request Headers

import os

API_KEY = os.environ.get("ICREAT_API_KEY")
headers = {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Authorization": "Bearer " + API_KEY,
}

Protect your API Key

Never expose your API Key in client-side code or public repositories. Use environment variables or a backend proxy.

Code Examples

Image and video generation uses a two-step async flow: submit a task to get task_id, then poll via query task result; the response includes status and result ([] while processing; on SUCCEEDED, result holds resources and costUSD is present). The examples below use the same task_id across both steps.

1. Submit Task

Send a generation request to the submit endpoint.

POST/v1/task/submit/bytedance/seedance-2-5/text-to-video

curl --fail-with-body --connect-timeout 10 --max-time 60 \
  -X POST https://api.icreat.ai/v1/task/submit/bytedance/seedance-2-5/text-to-video \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${ICREAT_API_KEY}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "content": [
    {
      "type": "text",
      "text": "A golden retriever running on a beach at sunset in slow motion"
    }
  ],
  "ratio": "16:9",
  "resolution": "720p",
  "duration": 5
}'

2. Query Task Result (Poll)

Use the task_id from submit to poll progress (repeat until terminal). The response includes status and result: result is [] while processing; on SUCCEEDED, result holds resources and costUSD is included; FAILED means the task failed.

POST/v1/task/result

curl --fail-with-body --connect-timeout 10 --max-time 60 \
  -X POST "https://api.icreat.ai/v1/task/result" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${ICREAT_API_KEY}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"task_id": "task-xxx"}'

Input Schema

Submit Task — Input

Total: 8 Required: 2 Optional: 6

contentobject[]required

Multimodal content array. See the schema below.

generate_audioboolean

Whether to generate audio

ratiostring

Output aspect ratio. Supported values: 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16, 21:9, and adaptive. When set to adaptive, the model automatically selects the most suitable aspect ratio based on the input.

resolutionstring

Output resolution. Supported values: 480p and 720p

durationinteger

Video duration in seconds. Accepts integers from 4 to 30, or -1 to let the model automatically select the duration.

watermarkboolean

Whether to add an “AI Generated” watermark

toolsobject[]

List of tools to use

typestringrequired

Content type: text, image_url, video_url, or audio_url

Query Task Result — Input

Total: 1 Required: 1 Optional: 0

task_idstringrequired

The task ID returned from the submit endpoint.

Output Schema

Submit Task — Output

Total: 1

task_idstring

Async task identifier.

Query Task Result — Output

Total: variable

statusstring

Current task status. result is usually [] until success; on SUCCEEDED, result holds resources and costUSD is present.

SUBMITTEDSUCCEEDEDFAILED

resultarray[object]

Generated resources. Empty array while processing or on failure; array of objects on success.

costUSDnumber

Task cost in USD. Present only when status is SUCCEEDED.

> Seedance 2.5 Text-to-Video is a multimodal video generation tool based on reference text, supporting video editing and extension capabilities.

## Overview

Use the iCreat two-step async task API: submit a generation request, then poll the query task result endpoint; on success read resources from `result` (includes `costUSD`).

## API Info

- **Base URL**：`https://api.icreat.ai`
- **Submit endpoint (POST)**：`/v1/task/submit/bytedance/seedance-2-5/text-to-video`
- **Query result endpoint (POST)**：`/v1/task/result`
- **Model ID**：`bytedance/seedance-2-5/text-to-video`
- **Auth**：`Authorization: Bearer ${ICREAT_API_KEY}`

## Call Flow

1. **Submit**: POST submit path with body per Input Notes; response `{ "task_id": "..." }`
2. **Query result**: POST `/v1/task/result` with `{ "task_id": "..." }`; response includes `status` and `result` (`[]` while processing); on `SUCCEEDED`, `result` holds resources and `costUSD` is present; read `url` or `download_url` when `type` is `Video`

### Input Notes

- Request body centers on a multimodal `content` array plus resolution/duration params
- `generate_audio` (optional): Whether to generate audio
- `ratio` (optional): Output aspect ratio. Supported values: `16:9`, `4:3`, `1:1`, `3:4`, `9:16`, `21:9`, and `adaptive`. When set to `adaptive`, the model automatically selects the most suitable aspect ratio based on the input.
- `resolution` (optional): Output resolution. Supported values: `480p` and `720p`
- `duration` (optional): Video duration in seconds. Accepts integers from `4` to `30`, or `-1` to let the model automatically select the duration.
- `watermark` (optional): Whether to add an “AI Generated” watermark
- `tools` (optional): List of tools to use

### Output Notes

- Poll: read `status`; `result` is `[]` while processing
- Success: `result` is `[{ "type": "Video", "url": "...", "download_url": "..." }]` plus `costUSD`

## Notes

- Use the same `task_id` across both steps; `result` is `[]` while processing — keep polling
- `FAILED` is terminal — check request parameters or reference media
