Generate one or more videos from a first-frame image and a text prompt with Seedance 2.0. Upload the first frame as image, and optionally a final frame as end_image, using multipart/form-data. Returns a generation_id; poll GET /v2/generations/{generation_id} or supply a webhook_url.

Authentication

Api-Keystring

API key for access control. Use in the header with the name "Api-Key"

Query parameters

dry_runbooleanOptionalDefaults to false

When true, the request is validated and priced but not run: nothing is generated, stored, or billed, and no safety review is performed. The response is a PriceQuote object instead of the usual response for this endpoint. Send exactly the request you would send to generate, so the quote reflects the same options.

Request

A request to generate videos from a first-frame image with Seedance 2.0. Upload the first frame as image using multipart/form-data.

imagefileRequired

The first-frame image to animate, in a common format such as JPEG, PNG, or WEBP, up to 50MB. Multipart requests only. The uploaded image is used for this request only and is not stored.

end_imagefileOptional
An optional final frame, in a common format such as JPEG, PNG, or WEBP, up to 50MB. Multipart requests only. When supplied, the video transitions from the first frame to this one.
promptstringRequired1-2000 characters

A natural-language prompt describing how the first frame should animate.

aspect_ratioenumOptionalDefaults to auto

The aspect ratio of the generated video. AUTO lets the model choose the most suitable ratio from the prompt; any other value pins the ratio.

resolutionenumOptionalDefaults to 720p
The resolution tier of the generated video.
Allowed values:
durationintegerOptional4-15

The length of the generated video in seconds. When omitted, the model picks the best duration for the prompt ("auto").

generate_audiobooleanOptionalDefaults to false
Whether to generate an audio track for the video. Audio roughly doubles the provider cost and is subject to stricter output moderation.
webhook_urlstringOptionalformat: "uri"<=2048 characters

HTTPS URL that Ideogram delivers the generated result to. Ideogram sends a JSON POST to this URL once all images for the request have finished generating. The body mirrors the synchronous generate response: request_id, created, and a data array containing every generated image (url, prompt, resolution, seed, is_image_safe). Each delivery is signed with Ed25519 and verifiable against the public keys at https://api.ideogram.ai/v1/.well-known/jwks.json. Must be HTTPS; private and loopback hosts and the cloud metadata service are rejected.

Response

An acknowledgement to poll with GET /v2/generations/{generation_id}.

generation_idstring

The generation ID to poll with GET /v2/generations/{generation_id}.

createddatetime
The time the request was accepted.
