# Topaz Video Upscale API

> Video-Upscaler und -Restaurator von Topaz Labs bis zu 4x, mit optionaler Bildratenkonvertierung.

Skaliert Videos mit Topaz' Modellen Proteus, Iris, Dione, Artemis, Gaia, Rhea und Theia hoch und stellt sie wieder her, von altem DV- und TV-Material bis hin zu Animationen. Steuerungen für Detailwiederherstellung, Rauschen, Halos, Kompression und Körnung sowie eine optionale Zielframerate von 16 bis 60 fps.

- Model id: `topaz/upscale/video/precision`
- Made by: Topaz Labs
- Category: Upscale
- Output: video
- Price per second of your input video: from $0.00667 / second of input video (cheapest run $0.10 (100 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/topaz/upscale/video/precision`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/topaz/upscale/video/precision`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/de/developers/models/topaz/upscale/video/precision

## Pricing

Price: **from $0.00667 / 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:

- 720p: $0.00667 / second of input video
- 1080p: $0.0133 / second of input video
- 720p, frame rate: $0.0133 / second of input video
- 1080p, frame rate: $0.0267 / second of input video
- 4K: $0.0517 / second of input video
- above 4K: $0.0919 / second of input video
- 4K, frame rate: $0.1033 / second of input video
- above 4K, frame rate: $0.1837 / second of input video

The full example input below costs $0.60 = 600 API credits (10 s input video × $0.051667 (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/precision` 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 Quellvideos zur Hochskalierung. |
| `model` |  | enum (string) | no | `Proteus` | `Proteus`, `Proteus Natural`, `Iris`, `Iris Low Quality`, `Dione DV`, `Dione TV`, `Dione Robust`, `Dione Dehalo`, `Dione Robust Dehalo`, `Artemis High Quality`, `Artemis Medium Quality`, `Artemis Low Quality`, `Artemis Strong Halo`, `Artemis Medium Halo`, `Artemis Aliasing & Moire`, `Gaia HQ`, `Gaia CG`, `Gaia 2`, `Rhea`, `Theia Fine Tune Detail`, `Theia Fine Tune Fidelity` | Nichtgeneratives Präzisionsverbesserungsmodell: Theia bietet manuelle Kontrolle über Detailtreue und Details, Rhea maximiert feine Details durch einen internen 4x-Durchlauf. Für Restaurierungsaufgaben verwende Artemis zum Schärfen und Entrauschen beschädigten Materials, Dione zum Deinterlacing älterer oder interlaced Inhalte oder Iris zur Gesichtsrekonstruktion. Für die meisten realen Aufnahmen eignet sich Proteus, während Proteus Natural eine weichere Alternative bietet; Gaia verbessert hochwertiges Material und CG, Gaia 2 bietet 2x-Hochskalierung für Animationen. |
| `upscale_factor` |  | number | no | `2` | 1 – 4 | Videoskalierungsmultiplikator; 2.0 verdoppelt beide Frame-Dimensionen. |
| `target_fps` |  | integer \| null | no |  | 16 – 60 | Zielbildrate der Ausgabe; entspricht sie der Quell-FPS, bleibt die Interpolation deaktiviert, und nur eine abweichende FPS aktiviert sie. |
| `compression` |  | number \| null | no |  | 0 – 1 | Stärke der Entfernung von Kompressionsartefakten von 0.0 bis 1.0. Das Modell bestimmt den Standardwert. |
| `noise` |  | number \| null | no |  | 0 – 1 | Stärke der Rauschreduzierung von 0.0 bis 1.0. Das Modell bestimmt den Standardwert. |
| `halo` |  | number \| null | no |  | 0 – 1 | Stärke der Halo-Reduzierung von 0.0 bis 1.0. Das Modell bestimmt den Standardwert. |
| `grain` |  | number \| null | no |  | 0 – 0.1 | Menge des Filmkorns von 0.0 bis 0.1. Der Standardwert hängt vom Modell ab. |
| `recover_detail` |  | number \| null | no |  | 0 – 1 | Stärke der Rekonstruktion ursprünglicher Details von 0.0 bis 1.0. Höhere Werte bewahren mehr Quelldetails. |
| `H264_output` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Steuert, ob das Ausgabevideo H264- statt der Standardkodierung H265 verwendet. |

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": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
  "upscale_factor": 2
}
```

## 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/precision?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "video": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
    "upscale_factor": 2
  }'

# 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/precision?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "video": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
    "upscale_factor": 2
  }),
});
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": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
    "upscale_factor": 2,
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/topaz/upscale/video/precision", 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/precision",
      "input": {
        "video": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
        "upscale_factor": 2
      },
      "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.
