Integrate Seedance 2.0 in three steps

Quote, hold, charge or release — each step shows how billing works.

[01]

Create an API key

// Console → API keys

[02]

Quote and create

POST the input to /v1/generations/quote with the model field set to seedance-2.0. The price is locked for 12 minutes; creating the generation with the quote id holds that amount from your balance.

// POST /v1/generations/quote// POST /v1/generations

[03]

Poll the result

GET /v1/generations/{id} until the status is succeeded, then download the output. You're charged the quoted amount on success; failed, timed-out or canceled-while-queued runs release the hold in full.

// GET /v1/generations/{id}

Retrying with the same Idempotency-Key returns the same generation instead of charging twice.
