How to use the Seedance 2.0 API

Four steps from signup to a finished generation. Full Python, Node.js, and cURL examples are in the API section below.

  1. 1

    Get an API key

    Sign up for a WaveSpeedAI account and copy your API key from the dashboard. New accounts come with free starter credits — enough to run the playground a few dozen times before billing kicks in.

  2. 2

    Submit a prediction

    POST your input as JSON to https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/bytedance/seedance-2.0/text-to-video. The endpoint returns a prediction id immediately — generations are async so you don't hold an open connection during inference.

  3. 3

    Poll for completion

    GET https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/predictions/{request_id}/result every 1-2 seconds. The response includes a status field; keep polling until it flips from"queued" or"processing" to"completed".

  4. 4

    Read the output URL

    Once status is"completed", read the URL from data.outputs[0]. The URL points to your generated media on the WaveSpeedAI CDN — image, video, audio, or 3D file depending on the Seedance 2.0 variant you called.

What you can build with Seedance 2.0

Common workflows developers and creators use the Seedance 2.0 API for.

Text-to-video with native audio

bytedance/seedance-2.0/text-to-video generates cinematic clips from text prompts with synchronized audio in a single pass — no separate audio model or sync step. Camera and lighting language in the prompt map directly to the rendered motion.

text-to-videonative-audiocinematic

Image-to-video from a reference still

bytedance/seedance-2.0/image-to-video animates a reference image with text guidance, preserving the subject identity, composition, and first-frame details while adding motion, camera moves, and synchronized audio.

image-to-videoreferenceanimation

Video-edit for targeted style changes

bytedance/seedance-2.0/video-edit rewrites lighting, style, weather, and atmosphere of an input video from a natural-language prompt — while preserving subject identity, composition, and motion from the source. Useful for look-dev passes and style-transfer workflows on existing footage.

video-editrestylelook-dev

Video-extend for longer sequences

bytedance/seedance-2.0/video-extend continues an input video from its last frame with a cinematic continuation driven by a text prompt — chain extends to build longer sequences with frame-accurate transition control.

video-extendlong-formcontinuation

Tiered pricing for iteration → delivery

Fast tier (bytedance/seedance-2.0-fast/*) for prompt iteration; Standard for delivery; Turbo delivers 720p/1080p at near-480p speed when you need high-res output without waiting on the Standard tier's full quality pass.

pricingtiersiteration

Reference-video conditioning

Supplying a reference video alongside the prompt (text-to-video / image-to-video) adds motion-style guidance — useful when matching the cadence or camera language of an existing clip. Reference videos count as a paid add-on, so reserve for shots where matching an existing clip's motion matters.

Tips for prompting Seedance 2.0

Practical advice for getting better outputs from Seedance 2.0 — drawn from the patterns that work across video models in production pipelines.

Use director-level camera language

Catalog framing: "director-level camera and lighting control." Specific cinematography vocabulary (orbit, dolly-in, push-in, pan-left, crane shot, handheld follow) translates more directly than generic motion descriptions.

Describe sound design alongside the visual

Native audio-visual synchronization is in the catalog description for every Seedance 2.0 variant. Describe footsteps, dialogue mood, music genre, ambient layers in the same prompt — the model conditions audio and video together rather than via a separate sync step.

Iterate on Fast, deliver on Standard, reach for Turbo when speed matters

Fast tier (bytedance/seedance-2.0-fast/*) for prompt iteration; Standard for delivery; Turbo when you need 1080p at near-480p speed. Same prompt format works across tiers — switch the endpoint URL only.

Use the right variant for the source

text-to-video for greenfield prompts; image-to-video to animate a specific still while preserving its subject and composition; video-edit to rewrite lighting/style/weather of an existing clip while keeping subject identity; video-extend to continue an existing clip from its last frame.

Reference videos add motion-style guidance

Adding a reference_video alongside the prompt gives the model motion-style guidance (camera cadence, action timing). Reserve for shots where matching an existing clip's motion matters; the reference adds reference-video conditioning so don't add one casually.

Seedance 2.0 API pricing

Pricing is per-output. The final charge scales with the parameters you set in each variant's playground (resolution, duration, output count, references).

Call the Seedance 2.0 API

Sign up for an API key at wavespeed.ai/accesskey, then submit a prediction via REST. The playground generates ready-to-paste samples for any combination of inputs.

# 2. Poll the result until status = "completed"
curl -X GET "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/predictions/{request_id}/result" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY"

# Read the output URL from data.outputs[0].
Node.js example
// npm install wavespeed
const WaveSpeed = require('wavespeed');
const client = new WaveSpeed(); // reads WAVESPEED_API_KEY

const result = await client.run("bytedance/seedance-2.0/text-to-video", {});
console.log(result.outputs[0]); // → URL of the generated output
Python example
# pip install wavespeed
import wavespeed

output = wavespeed.run(

Seedance 2.0 vs alternatives

When to pick Seedance 2.0 over similar models on WaveSpeedAI.

Seedance 2.0 vs Veo 3.1

Veo 3.1 leads on photorealism and natural human faces. Seedance 2.0 wins on native audio synthesis across every tier (Veo audio is tier-dependent), cinematic camera-language adherence, and a wider variant surface (text-to-video, image-to-video, video-edit, video-extend, plus Fast and Turbo sub-tiers).

Seedance 2.0 vs Kling 3.0

Kling 3.0 has a 4K tier and a separate motion-control endpoint. Seedance 2.0 ships native audio synchronization in the same generation, video-edit, and video-extend — plus three pricing tiers (Fast/Standard/Turbo) that let you tune cost vs speed without changing model.

Seedance 2.0 vs Wan 2.7

Wan 2.7 ships reference-to-video as a dedicated endpoint and has image-editing variants in the same family. Seedance 2.0 wins on native audio (Wan 2.7 has optional audio on image-to-video and video-extend only) and the Turbo tier that delivers 1080p at near-480p speed.
