Returns a `generation_id`; poll `GET /v2/generations/{generation_id}` or supply a `webhook_url`. Reference: https://developer.ideogram.ai/api-reference/video/generate/seedance-2-text-to-video ## Authentication - `Api-Key` header (required) — API key for access control. Use in the header with the name \"Api-Key\" ## Request ### Query parameters - `dry_run` (boolean, optional, default: 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. ### Body (application/json) This endpoint expects a GenerateVideoSeedDance2TextToVideoRequest. - `prompt` (string, required) — A natural-language prompt describing the video to generate. - `aspect_ratio` (enum, optional, default: 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. - Allowed values: `auto`, `21x9`, `16x9`, `4x3`, `1x1`, `3x4`, `9x16` - `resolution` (enum, optional, default: 720p) — The resolution tier of the generated video. - Allowed values: `480p`, `720p` - `duration` (integer, optional) — The length of the generated video in seconds. When omitted, the model picks the best duration for the prompt ("auto"). - `generate_audio` (boolean, optional, default: false) — Whether to generate an audio track for the video. Audio roughly doubles the provider cost and is subject to stricter output moderation. - `webhook_url` (string, optional) — 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 ### 200 An acknowledgement to poll with `GET /v2/generations/{generation_id}`. - `generation_id` (string, required) — The generation ID to poll with `GET /v2/generations/{generation_id}`. - `created` (datetime, required) — The time the request was accepted. ## Errors ### 400 Bad Request Error Invalid input provided. - `any` ### 401 Unauthorized Error Unauthorized. - `any` ### 402 Payment Required Error Insufficient credits or quota. - `error` (string, required) — A message describing why the generation request was rejected. - `reject_reason` (enum, required) — The account or usage limit that rejected a generation request. - Allowed values: `insufficient_funds`, `subscription_required`, `daily_limit`, `priority_credit_required`, `inflight_limit`, `feature_limit` - `max_inflight_requests` (integer, optional) — How many generations the account may have in progress at once on the queue this request resolved to. Present when `reject_reason` is `inflight_limit`. - `task_completion_speed` (enum, optional) — The queue this request resolved to. Present when `reject_reason` is `inflight_limit`. - Allowed values: `fast`, `slow` ### 403 Forbidden Error This account does not have access to this model. - `any` ### 422 Unprocessable Entity Error The prompt did not pass safety checks. - `any` ### 429 Too Many Requests Error Too many requests. - `error` (string, required) — A message describing why the generation request was rejected. - `reject_reason` (enum, required) — The account or usage limit that rejected a generation request. - Allowed values: `insufficient_funds`, `subscription_required`, `daily_limit`, `priority_credit_required`, `inflight_limit`, `feature_limit` - `max_inflight_requests` (integer, optional) — How many generations the account may have in progress at once on the queue this request resolved to. Present when `reject_reason` is `inflight_limit`. - `task_completion_speed` (enum, optional) — The queue this request resolved to. Present when `reject_reason` is `inflight_limit`. - Allowed values: `fast`, `slow` ### 500 Internal Server Error Internal server error. - `any` ### 503 Service Unavailable Error The endpoint is temporarily unavailable. - `any` ## Examples **Request** ```json { "prompt": "A red fox running through a snowy forest at dawn.", "duration": 5, "generate_audio": false, "webhook_url": "https://api.example.com/webhooks/ideogram" } ``` **Response** ```json { "generation_id": "generation_id", "created": "2024-01-15T09:30:00Z" } ``` **SDK Code** ```python import requests url = "https://api.ideogram.ai/v2/video/generate/seedance-2-text-to-video" payload = { "prompt": "A red fox running through a snowy forest at dawn.", "duration": 5, "generate_audio": False, "webhook_url": "https://api.example.com/webhooks/ideogram" } headers = { "Api-Key": "", "Content-Type": "application/json" } response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers) print(response.json()) ``` ```javascript const url = 'https://api.ideogram.ai/v2/video/generate/seedance-2-text-to-video'; const options = { method: 'POST', headers: {'Api-Key': '', 'Content-Type': 'application/json'}, body: '{"prompt":"A red fox running through a snowy forest at dawn.","duration":5,"generate_audio":false,"webhook_url":"https://api.example.com/webhooks/ideogram"}' }; try { const response = await fetch(url, options); const data = await response.json(); console.log(data); } catch (error) { console.error(error); } ``` ```go package main import ( "fmt" "strings" "net/http" "io" ) func main() { url := "https://api.ideogram.ai/v2/video/generate/seedance-2-text-to-video" payload := strings.NewReader("{\n \"prompt\": \"A red fox running through a snowy forest at dawn.\",\n \"duration\": 5,\n \"generate_audio\": false,\n \"webhook_url\": \"https://api.example.com/webhooks/ideogram\"\n}") req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", url, payload) req.Header.Add("Api-Key", "") req.Header.Add("Content-Type", "application/json") res, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req) defer res.Body.Close() body, _ := io.ReadAll(res.Body) fmt.Println(res) fmt.Println(string(body)) } ``` ```ruby require 'uri' require 'net/http' url = URI("https://api.ideogram.ai/v2/video/generate/seedance-2-text-to-video") http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port) http.use_ssl = true request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(url) request["Api-Key"] = '' request["Content-Type"] = 'application/json' request.body = "{\n \"prompt\": \"A red fox running through a snowy forest at dawn.\",\n \"duration\": 5,\n \"generate_audio\": false,\n \"webhook_url\": \"https://api.example.com/webhooks/ideogram\"\n}" response = http.request(request) puts response.read_body ``` ```java import com.mashape.unirest.http.HttpResponse; import com.mashape.unirest.http.Unirest; HttpResponse response = Unirest.post("https://api.ideogram.ai/v2/video/generate/seedance-2-text-to-video") .header("Api-Key", "") .header("Content-Type", "application/json") .body("{\n \"prompt\": \"A red fox running through a snowy forest at dawn.\",\n \"duration\": 5,\n \"generate_audio\": false,\n \"webhook_url\": \"https://api.example.com/webhooks/ideogram\"\n}") .asString(); ``` ```php request('POST', 'https://api.ideogram.ai/v2/video/generate/seedance-2-text-to-video', [ 'body' => '{ "prompt": "A red fox running through a snowy forest at dawn.", "duration": 5, "generate_audio": false, "webhook_url": "https://api.example.com/webhooks/ideogram" }', 'headers' => [ 'Api-Key' => '', 'Content-Type' => 'application/json', ], ]); echo $response->getBody(); ``` ```csharp using RestSharp; var client = new RestClient("https://api.ideogram.ai/v2/video/generate/seedance-2-text-to-video"); var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST); request.AddHeader("Api-Key", ""); request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/json"); request.AddParameter("application/json", "{\n \"prompt\": \"A red fox running through a snowy forest at dawn.\",\n \"duration\": 5,\n \"generate_audio\": false,\n \"webhook_url\": \"https://api.example.com/webhooks/ideogram\"\n}", ParameterType.RequestBody); IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request); ``` ```swift import Foundation let headers = [ "Api-Key": "", "Content-Type": "application/json" ] let parameters = [ "prompt": "A red fox running through a snowy forest at dawn.", "duration": 5, "generate_audio": false, "webhook_url": "https://api.example.com/webhooks/ideogram" ] as [String : Any] let postData = JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: parameters, options: []) let request = NSMutableURLRequest(url: NSURL(string: "https://api.ideogram.ai/v2/video/generate/seedance-2-text-to-video")!
