Generate a video from a text prompt and reference media with Seedance 2.0. Upload at least one image in reference_images, plus optional reference_audios, 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 produce a video from reference media with Seedance 2.0. Upload the references using multipart/form-data.

promptstringRequired1-2000 characters

A natural-language prompt describing the video to produce. Refer to references by position, as in "@Image1 walks toward the camera".

reference_imagesfilesOptional
Reference images, in prompt order. Common formats such as JPEG, PNG, and WEBP are supported, up to 50MB each. Multipart requests only. Uploaded images are used for this request only and are not stored.
reference_audiosfilesOptional
MP3 or WAV audio references, in prompt order. Multipart requests only. Each file must be at most 15 MB and between 2 and 15 seconds long, with a combined duration of at most 15 seconds. Requires at least one reference image. Audio is used for this request only and is not saved to your library.
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.
