# Lightx · Recamera API

> Filmt ein vorhandenes Video mit einem neuen Kamerapfad und neuer Beleuchtung erneut, gesteuert über Trajektorie oder Zielpose

Verarbeitet eine Eingabe-`video_url` und rendert sie mit einem veränderten Kamerastandpunkt neu. Setzen Sie `camera` auf `traj` und übergeben Sie eine `trajectory` oder auf `target` und geben Sie eine `target_pose` von [theta, phi, radius, x, y] an. Der Bewegungs-`mode` kann gradual, bullet, direct oder dolly-zoom sein. Ein Text-`prompt` ist optional; fehlt er, wird das Video automatisch beschriftet.

- Model id: `lightx/recamera`
- Made by: Open model
- Category: Video to Video
- Output: video
- Price per second of your output video: $0.10 / second of output video (cheapest run $0.10 (100 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/lightx/recamera`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/lightx/recamera`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/de/developers/models/lightx/recamera

## Pricing

Price: **$0.10 / second of output video**. Price per second of your output 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.

The full example input below costs $0.49 = 490 API credits (4.9 s output video × $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/lightx/recamera` 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 des Eingabevideos. |
| `prompt` |  | string \| null | no |  |  | Optionaler Text-Prompt; Light-X beschriftet das Video automatisch, wenn kein Prompt angegeben wird. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Seed für reproduzierbare Generierung. Bei None wird ein Seed zufällig ausgewählt. |
| `camera` |  | enum (string) | no | `traj` | `traj`, `target` | Zur Steuerung der Kamera verwendeter Modus. |
| `mode` |  | enum (string) | no | `gradual` | `gradual`, `bullet`, `direct`, `dolly-zoom` | Für die Kamerabewegung verwendeter Modus. |
| `trajectory` |  | object {theta, phi, radius} \| null | no |  |  | Einstellungen für die Kamerapfadsteuerung, im recamera-Modus erforderlich. |
| `trajectory.theta` |  | array of number | yes |  |  | Horizontale Rotationswinkel pro Keyframe, gemessen in Grad. |
| `trajectory.phi` |  | array of number | yes |  |  | Vertikale Rotationswinkel pro Keyframe, gemessen in Grad. |
| `trajectory.radius` |  | array of number | yes |  |  | Faktoren pro Keyframe, die den Kameraabstand skalieren. |
| `target_pose` |  | array of number \| null | no |  |  | Zielpose der Kamera, erforderlich, wenn camera='target'. Gib ein Array in der Reihenfolge theta, dann phi, dann radius, dann x, dann y an. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Die Prüfung kann durch Setzen auf false gelockert werden, sofern der Aufrufer dazu berechtigt ist. |

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/lightx/recamera?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/lightx/recamera?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/lightx/recamera", 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": "lightx/recamera",
      "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.
