Workflow
How a Seedance 2.5 API request works
Plan the prompt, attach references, submit the job, then poll or receive the generated video asset.
1
Prepare prompt and references
Describe the shot, camera motion, subject, style, duration, and attach reference images or videos when consistency matters.
2
Submit the generation job
Send a structured API request with prompt text, media references, output settings, and callback or polling preferences.
3
Retrieve and integrate results
Download the rendered video, store metadata, review safety results, and feed the output into your product workflow.
