Generate video with the Seedance 2.0 API
Seedance 2.0 runs on Crazyrouter behind a unified asynchronous video endpoint: submit a task, poll for the result, pay per generated second.
Paste the model ID, live price, base URL and a working request straight into your coding agent.
What is Seedance 2.0?
Seedance 2.0 is a Seedance video model from ByteDance for text-to-video and image-to-video generation. Crazyrouter wraps it in the same task API used for every video model in the catalogue, so switching between vendors is a one-line change.
One submit/poll flow for every video model on Crazyrouter.
Charged for generated seconds at the resolution-specific rate; failed tasks are not billed.
Start from a prompt or a reference frame where the upstream model supports it.
Same key and balance as your chat and image workloads.
Seedance 2.0 API quickstart
Submit a job to https://api.crazyrouter.com/volc/v1/contents/generations/tasks with model doubao-seedance-2-0, then poll the returned task id until the status is completed.

Seedance 2.0 FAQ
Is generation synchronous?
No. The submit call returns a task id; poll the matching query endpoint (second example above) until it completes.
How is it billed?
Per generated second at the rate for the requested resolution and mode; the range on this page covers the available options.
Which durations and resolutions are available?
Those exposed by the upstream model; pass duration, resolution and aspect ratio as documented.
Can I start from an image?
Yes for image-to-video capable models: include the image URL in the request.
How long do results stay available?
Download the result promptly after completion; upstream links expire.
