# Topaz Upscale Video Generative API

> Uwchraddydd fideo cynhyrchiol gyda modelau Starlight selectable, wedi'i anelu at ffilmiau cywasgedig neu archifol

Yn gwella ac yn uwchraddio fideo gan ddefnyddio modelau Starlight sy'n seiliedig ar ddiffusion, wedi'u dewis drwy `model`: Precise 2.6, HQ, Mini, Sharp neu Fast 2. Mae `upscale_factor` yn amrywio o 1 i 4, ac mae `target_fps` (16-60) yn galluogi rhyngosod fframiau pan fydd yn wahanol i'r ffynhonnell. Dim ond i Starlight Precise 2.6 y mae `softness` (1-5) yn berthnasol. H265 yw'r codec allbwn, neu H264 ar gais.

- Model id: `topaz/upscale/video/generative`
- Made by: Topaz Labs
- Category: Upscale
- Output: video
- Price per second of your input video: from $0.06 / second of input video (cheapest run $0.10 (100 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/topaz/upscale/video/generative`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/topaz/upscale/video/generative`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/cy/developers/models/topaz/upscale/video/generative

## Pricing

Price: **from $0.06 / second of input video** (the lowest tier; the quote prices your exact input). Price per second of your input video: the input files are measured before the run (length, resolution, frame rate). The quote measures the same files and is exactly what the run charges.

Price by tier:

- Starlight Fast 2, up to 1080p: $0.06 / second of input video
- up to 1080p: $0.12 / second of input video
- Starlight Fast 2, up to 1080p, frame rate: $0.12 / second of input video
- Starlight Fast 2, 4K: $0.13 / second of input video
- Starlight Fast 2, above 4K: $0.2311 / second of input video
- up to 1080p, frame rate: $0.24 / second of input video
- 4K: $0.255 / second of input video
- Starlight Fast 2, 4K, frame rate: $0.26 / second of input video
- above 4K: $0.4533 / second of input video
- Starlight Fast 2, above 4K, frame rate: $0.4622 / second of input video
- 4K, frame rate: $0.51 / second of input video
- above 4K, frame rate: $0.9067 / second of input video

The full example input below costs $2.60 = 2600 API credits (10 s input video × $0.255 (4K), rounded up to the next $0.10).

Prices are the upstream price in USD, paid from the API balance in API credits (1000 API credits = 1 USD). `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/topaz/upscale/video/generative` with the same JSON body returns the exact price for that input; the quote is exactly what a run charges. Invalid input is never charged and failed or canceled requests are refunded automatically.

## Input parameters

Send either the canonical name or the native field name (not both). Canonical names are the same across models.

| Parameter | Canonical name | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values / range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `video_url` | `video` | string (video URL) | yes |  |  | URL fideo ffynhonnell ar gyfer uwchraddio. |
| `model` |  | enum (string) | no | `Starlight Precise 2.6` | `Starlight Precise 2.6`, `Starlight HQ`, `Starlight Mini`, `Starlight Sharp`, `Starlight Fast 2` | Dewis model tryledu cynhyrchiol ar gyfer gwella fideo. Ar gyfer adfer archifol defnyddiwch Starlight Mini; ar gyfer adfer cyflym gyda manylion miniog, Starlight Sharp; ar gyfer yr ansawdd mwyaf o ffilm cydraniad uchel, Starlight HQ; ac ar gyfer fideo AI mwy realistig, Starlight Precise 2.6. Ymhlith uwchraddwyr tryledu, Starlight Fast 2 yw'r cyflymaf a'r rhataf. |
| `upscale_factor` |  | number | no | `2` | 1 – 4 | Lluosydd graddio fideo; mae gwerth o 2.0 yn dyblu dimensiynau'r ddwy ffrâm. |
| `target_fps` |  | integer \| null | no |  | 16 – 60 | Cyfradd ffrâm allbwn i'w thargedu; mae cyfateb i FPS y ffynhonnell yn gadael rhyngosod wedi'i analluogi, a dim ond FPS gwahanol sy'n ei alluogi. |
| `softness` |  | number \| null | no |  | 1 – 5 | Gosodiad meddalwch sydd ar gael ar gyfer Starlight Precise 2.6 yn unig, gyda'r rhagosodiad yn cael ei ddefnyddio pan gaiff ei hepgor. Dewiswch 1 ar gyfer yr allbwn mwyaf miniog neu 5 ar gyfer y mwyaf meddal. |
| `H264_output` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Rheoli a yw'r fideo allbwn yn defnyddio amgodio H264 yn lle'r H265 rhagosodedig. |

File parameters (`video`) take a public `https://` URL, a `data:` URI up to 10 MB, or the `file_url` of an upload from `POST /files`.

## Example input

Required parameters only:

```json
{
  "video": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4"
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4"
}
```

## Run it

Set `DOITONG_API_KEY` to a key from https://doitong.com/developers/dashboard#keys. `?wait=20` returns the finished request in the same call when it is ready within 20 seconds; otherwise poll `GET /requests/{id}` (it also accepts `?wait=`), or pass `webhook_url`.

### curl

```bash
# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
curl -X POST "https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/topaz/upscale/video/generative?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4"
  }'

# Still "queued" or "running"? Poll with the id from the response:
curl "https://api.doitong.com/v1/requests/REQUEST_ID?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY"
```

### JavaScript

```javascript
const API = "https://api.doitong.com/v1";
const headers = {
  "Authorization": "Bearer " + process.env.DOITONG_API_KEY,
  "Content-Type": "application/json",
};

// Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
let res = await fetch(API + "/run/topaz/upscale/video/generative?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4"
  }),
});
let request = await res.json();
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(request.error.code + ": " + request.error.message);

// Not finished yet: long-poll until it is
while (request.status === "queued" || request.status === "running") {
  res = await fetch(API + "/requests/" + request.id + "?wait=20", { headers });
  request = await res.json();
}
if (request.status !== "succeeded") throw new Error(JSON.stringify(request.error));
console.log(request.outputs.map((o) => o.url), request.cost.credits + " API credits ($" + request.cost.usd + ")");
```

### Python

```python
import os
import requests

API = "https://api.doitong.com/v1"
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + os.environ["DOITONG_API_KEY"]}

payload = {
    "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/topaz/upscale/video/generative", params={"wait": 20}, json=payload, headers=headers)
request = r.json()
if not r.ok:
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"]["code"] + ": " + request["error"]["message"])

# Not finished yet: long-poll until it is
while request["status"] in ("queued", "running"):
    request = requests.get(API + "/requests/" + request["id"], params={"wait": 20}, headers=headers).json()
if request["status"] != "succeeded":
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"])
print([o["url"] for o in request["outputs"]], request["cost"]["credits"], "API credits", "$" + request["cost"]["usd"])
```

### MCP

The MCP server at `https://api.doitong.com/v1/mcp` exposes the tools `search_models`, `get_model`, `quote`, `run`, `get_request`, `cancel_request`, `list_requests`, `create_upload` and `get_account`. A `run` call for this model:

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "run",
    "arguments": {
      "model_id": "topaz/upscale/video/generative",
      "input": {
        "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4"
      },
      "wait_seconds": 20
    }
  }
}
```

## Response

Every call returns a request object. `status` is one of `queued`, `running`, `succeeded`, `failed`, `canceled`. `outputs` lists the generated files with URLs on our storage (kept forever, or 7 days with `?storage=temporary`; `storage` says which); `output` is the model's own result object with the same URLs.
