## API Information

This model can be used via our HTTP API or more conveniently via our client libraries.
See the input and output schema below, as well as the usage examples.

### Input Schema

The API accepts the following input parameters:

- **`prompt`** (`string`, _required_):
  Text prompt
  - Examples: "An action shot of a black lab swimming..."

- **`duration`** (`int`, _optional_):
  Video duration in seconds
  - Default: `5`
  - Range: `4` to `15`

- **`resolution`** (`string`, _optional_):
  Output video resolution
  - Default: `720p`
  - Options: "480p", "720p"

- **`aspect_ratio`** (`string`, _optional_):
  The aspect ratio of the generated video frame (width:height)
  - Default: `16:9`
  - Options: "21:9", "16:9", "9:16", "4:3", "1:1", "3:4"

### Output Schema

The API returns a JSON response with a `job_id` for tracking the request status.

**Create Job Response:**
```json
{
  "code": 0,
  "data": {
    "amount": "0.02",
    "job_id": "<JOB_ID>"
  }
}
```

**Query Job Result (when status is 2, meaning succeeded):**
```json
{
  "code": 0,
  "data": {
    "status": 2,
    "result": {
      "videos": [{ "url": "https://..." }]
    }
  }
}
```

## Use Example

To use this model, make an HTTP POST request to the API endpoint, then poll for results using the returned `job_id`.

### Bash (cURL)
```bash
# Step 1: Create a job
response=$(curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.shortapi.ai/api/v1/job/create \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $SHORTAPI_KEY" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
  "model": "bytedance/seedance-2.0-mini/text-to-video",
  "args": {
    "prompt": "A cinematic sunrise over a mountain lake, gentle mist drifting across the water, realistic lighting, smooth camera movement."
  },
  "callback_url": "CALLBACK_URL"
}')
JOB_ID=$(echo "$response" | grep -o '"job_id": *"[^"]*"' | sed 's/"job_id": *//; s/"//g')

# Step 2: Poll for results
curl --request GET \
  --url "https://api.shortapi.ai/api/v1/job/query?id=$JOB_ID" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $SHORTAPI_KEY"
```

### JavaScript (Fetch API)
```javascript
// Step 1: Create a job
const response = await fetch(`https://api.shortapi.ai/api/v1/job/create`, {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${SHORTAPI_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "model": "bytedance/seedance-2.0-mini/text-to-video",
    "args": {
      "prompt": "A cinematic sunrise over a mountain lake, gentle mist drifting across the water, realistic lighting, smooth camera movement."
    },
    "callback_url": "CALLBACK_URL"
})
});
const data = await response.json();
const JOB_ID = data.job_id;

// Step 2: Poll for results
const result = await fetch(`https://api.shortapi.ai/api/v1/job/query?id=${JOB_ID}`, {
  method: "GET",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${SHORTAPI_KEY}`
  }
});
const resultData = await result.json();
console.log(resultData);
```

### Python (Requests)
```python
import requests

# Step 1: Create a job
url = "https://api.shortapi.ai/api/v1/job/create"
payload = {
  "model": "bytedance/seedance-2.0-mini/text-to-video",
  "args": {
    "prompt": "A cinematic sunrise over a mountain lake, gentle mist drifting across the water, realistic lighting, smooth camera movement."
  },
  "callback_url": "CALLBACK_URL"
}
headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {SHORTAPI_KEY}",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload)
data = response.json()
JOB_ID = data.get("job_id")

# Step 2: Poll for results
result_url = f"https://api.shortapi.ai/api/v1/job/query?id={JOB_ID}"
result = requests.get(result_url, headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {SHORTAPI_KEY}"})
print(result.json())
```
