The Seedance 2.0 API — in one request

Call the Seedance 2.0 API through your SamAutomation key — submit a job with the model_id, then poll until it's done. One key for every model, no per-vendor onboarding or separate billing.

# 1. submit a generation job
POST /api/ai/jobs
{
  "model_id": "seedance-2",
  "prompt": "a slow dolly across a neon-lit street at night",
  "options": { "aspect_ratio": "16:9", "duration": 5 }
}
# → { "id": "job_a1b2", "status": "queued" }

# 2. poll until the video is ready
GET /api/ai/jobs/{id}
# → { "status": "succeeded", "output": { "url": "…" } }

Seedance 2.0: the questions people ask

Does Seedance 2.0 have an API?

Yes. On SamAutomation Seedance 2.0 runs through one endpoint - POST /api/ai/jobs with model_id "seedance-2" - so you do not need a separate account or key with ByteDance. You submit a job and poll it until the video is ready.

How much does Seedance 2.0 cost?

Seedance 2.0 starts at 86 credits per job at its cheapest settings. Longer clips, higher resolution and extra options cost more. Credits come with a plan, and the same key also covers JSON-to-video rendering and every other model.

Is Seedance 2.0 free?

No. Generation burns real GPU time, so every render costs credits - 86 at the floor for Seedance 2.0. Anything advertising unlimited free generation is either putting you behind a long queue or watermarking the result. Plans bundle monthly credits instead.

Which Seedance 2.0 tier should I pick?

Start at the cheapest tier in the ladder above and move up only when you can see the difference in your own output. Higher tiers cost more credits per job, and on short social clips that difference is often invisible.

Is Seedance 2.0 restricted or region-locked?

You reach Seedance 2.0 through this API with your SamAutomation key, not through ByteDance's own app, so that app's sign-up and regional availability are not what gates you. The model's own content rules still apply to what you generate.

Where is the official Seedance 2.0 site?

ByteDance publishes the model itself; this page is about calling it as an API alongside every other model on one key, which is a different job from their consumer app.

Where is the Seedance 2.0 API documentation, and is there a download?

There is nothing to download. The Seedance 2.0 API documentation you need here is our own reference: one endpoint, one key, and the model_id above. ByteDance publishes its own docs for the model, but those describe their platform, not this one.

Is Seedance 2.0 available right now?

If it is listed on this page it is active on the platform and you can call it today. Model availability moves — makers retire versions and add tiers — so the list here is the current state rather than a promise about next quarter.

Is there a Seedance 2.0 SDK, GitHub repo or Python example?

You do not need a vendor SDK here. Seedance 2.0 is an HTTP call: POST /api/ai/jobs with your key and model_id "seedance-2", then poll the job. Any language that can send JSON can drive it, and the request shape is the same for every model on this platform.

Is Seedance 2.0 safe to use, and what happens to my input?

The practical questions are the same for every generation service: what the provider may do with what you upload, how long it is kept, and whether it can be used for training. Read that clause before you send client material through any model, ours included. ByteDance publishes its own terms for the model itself.

Are the Seedance 2.0 weights open source or on Hugging Face?

That is up to ByteDance, not to us, and it differs per model and per release. If open weights matter to you, check the maker's own licence. Running it here is renting inference, not getting the weights.

Do I need the Seedance 2.0 app to use it?

No. The consumer app and the API are separate products with separate limits. Here you call Seedance 2.0 through this platform, so there is no app to install and no second subscription.

What is Seedance 2.0 good at?

Multimodal video with native audio and multi-shot cuts. Pick it when that is the job; a cheaper model wins when it is not.
