# Wan-2.1 Text-to-Video API

> Wan 2.1 text-to-video mit Ausgaben von 480p bis 720p, Hoch- oder Querformat und optionalem Turbo-Modus

Erzeugt einen kurzen Videoclip aus einem Text-`prompt`. Die Auflösung kann 480p, 580p oder 720p sein, das Seitenverhältnis 16:9 oder 9:16. `num_frames` reicht von 81 bis 100 und `frames_per_second` von 5 bis 24. Akzeptiert außerdem einen `negative_prompt`, einen `seed`, optionale Prompt-Erweiterung und einen `turbo_mode`-Schalter für schnellere Durchläufe.

- Model id: `wan-t2v`
- Made by: Alibaba
- Category: Text to Video
- Output: video
- Price: from $0.20 / video (cheapest run $0.20 (200 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/wan-t2v`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/wan-t2v`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/de/developers/models/wan-t2v

## Pricing

Price: **from $0.20 / video** (the lowest tier; the quote prices your exact input). Billed once per generated video.

Price rules (the first rule that matches the input wins; a parameter you leave out counts as its default):

- When `num_frames` > 81 and `resolution` is 580p, 720p: $0.50 (500 API credits) / video
- When `resolution` is 580p, 720p: $0.40 (400 API credits) / video
- When `num_frames` > 81: $0.25 (250 API credits) / video

The full example input below costs $0.40 = 400 API credits (1 video × 400 API credits).

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/wan-t2v` 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

| Parameter | Canonical name | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values / range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `prompt` |  | string | yes |  |  | Textanweisungen zur Steuerung der Video-Generierung. |
| `negative_prompt` |  | string | no | `bright colors, overexposed, static, blurred details, subtitles, style, artwork, painting, picture, still, overall gray, worst quality, low quality, JPEG compression residue, ugly, incomplete, extra fingers, poorly drawn hands, poorly drawn faces, deformed, disfigured, malformed limbs, fused fingers, still picture, cluttered background, three legs, many people in the background, walking backwards` |  | Bei der Videogenerierung angewendeter negativer Prompt. |
| `num_frames` |  | integer \| null | no | `81` | 81 – 100 | Frame-Anzahl für die Generierung, einschließlich 81 bis 100. |
| `frames_per_second` |  | integer \| null | no | `16` | 5 – 24 | Bildrate des generierten Videos in Frames pro Sekunde, im Bereich von 5 bis 24. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Seed für reproduzierbare Generierung. Bei None wird ein Seed zufällig ausgewählt. |
| `resolution` |  | enum (string) | no | `720p` | `480p`, `580p`, `720p` | Ausgabevideoauflösung: 480p, 580p oder 720p. |
| `aspect_ratio` |  | enum (string) | no | `16:9` | `9:16`, `16:9` | Seitenverhältnis des Ausgabevideos, entweder 16:9 oder 9:16. |
| `num_inference_steps` |  | integer | no | `30` | 2 – 40 | Anzahl der Sampling-Schritte; eine höhere Anzahl verlängert die Verarbeitung, verbessert aber die Qualität. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Schalter für die Sicherheitsprüfung, dessen Deaktivierung eine Kontoberechtigung erfordert. Ohne diese Berechtigung wird jede Anfrage unabhängig von der Einstellung geprüft; true aktiviert die Prüfung. |
| `enable_prompt_expansion` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Steuert, ob die Prompt-Erweiterung aktiviert ist. |
| `turbo_mode` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Umschalter für schnellere Videogenerierung. Die Aktivierung verkürzt die Generierungszeit ohne merklichen Verlust an visueller Qualität. |

## Example input

Required parameters only:

  "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
}
```

A fuller example:

```json

  "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
}
```

## 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/wan-t2v?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
  }'

# 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/wan-t2v?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
  }),
});
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 = {
    "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field",
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/wan-t2v", 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": "wan-t2v",
      "input": {
        "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
      },
      "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.
