About SD 2.0 API

SD 2.0 API provides RESTful access to ByteDance's SD 2.0 video generation model, allowing developers to integrate text-to-video, image-to-video, and multi-shot storytelling into their applications with simple HTTP requests. The endpoints support configurable resolution (480p–1080p), aspect ratio, and motion parameters. Beyond video, the platform also offers the Seedream 5 Pro image generation API, which supports text-to-image and reference image editing at 1K and 2K resolutions. The platform uses a credit-based billing system where 1 USD equals 100 credits, and each request deducts credits based on usage; free registration (no credit card required) and daily check-in credits are available for testing.
