Seedance 2 API

Six tiers from $0.075 to $0.18 per second. The choice runs along three axes at once, which makes this the most tangled line in our catalog. Here is how to work out which part of it you need.

6 catalog rows and three axes

Seedance 2 varies on three independent things. Speed, where fast is cheaper and pro costs more. Resolution, either 480p or 720p. And the omni mode, which stands apart because it differs not in quality but in what it accepts as input.

Six catalog rows come out of that, and the price spans two and a half times end to end. A five-second clip runs $0.38 on the bottom tier and $0.90 on the top one.

One oddity in that price list is visible immediately and we are not hiding it. seedance-2-fast-720p and seedance-2-pro-720p cost the same $0.18. There is no pricing argument for taking fast at 720p, take pro for the same money. At 480p the difference is real, $0.075 against $0.095.

Tiers and prices

Billing counts the seconds of the clip that came back. Duration here is a range rather than a list, four seconds to fifteen, five by default.

The hold is worth knowing about in advance. With a duration field in the request, exactly that many seconds are frozen on the balance. Without one, fifteen seconds are frozen while the clip comes out five seconds long. On a thin balance that alone can produce a refusal where the real clip would have fit.

The omni mode takes video as input

This is the only Seedance branch that accepts video rather than only a still. The ordinary tiers build a clip from text and, if you want, from an opening frame. Omni additionally takes a source video, which makes it video-to-video.

With no source video in hand there is nothing to pay omni for, since it costs more than the neighbouring tiers at the same level.

How to call it

POST /v1/videos, on the key you already use for text and images.

curl https://api.teamtoken.store/v1/videos \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TEAMTOKEN_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "seedance-2-fast-480p",
    "prompt": "a street musician plays violin, passers-by, handheld camera",
    "duration": 8,
    "wait": true
  }'

What you can pass in the request

The duration range is wider here than anywhere nearby in the catalog. Veo offers 4, 6 or 8 seconds from a list, this one takes any value up to fifteen. The gateway holds the connection for a minute and a half, then hands over a job id and the result is collected from GET /v1/videos/{id}.

Pick a tier for the job

Starting from the bottom is the sane approach. Between the lowest and highest tier a five-second clip differs by half a dollar, and across a hundred clips by $52.50.

No gallery here, but there is something to test

The line is tangled and words only take you so far. Three calls on one prompt show where the price difference is real and where there is none.

The full set comes to $1.75, taken off your balance rather than run in some demo mode. If only the main question interests you, the first 2 calls at $0.85 answer it.
