# Bria's VRMBG 3.0 API

> Video background removal v3 with solid color or transparent output and an auto-zoom crop option

Removes the background from a video given by `video_url`. `background_color` can be Transparent or one of ten solid colors. `auto_zoom` crops the output to the smallest rectangle containing the subject for the whole video. Nine output container and codec choices are offered, and `preserve_audio` is on by default.

- Model id: `bria/video/background-removal/v3`
- Made by: Bria AI
- Category: Background Removal
- Output: video
- Price per second of your input video: $0.05 / second of input video (cheapest run $0.05 (50 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/bria/video/background-removal/v3`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/bria/video/background-removal/v3`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/developers/models/bria/video/background-removal/v3

## Pricing

Price: **$0.05 / second of input video**. 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.

The full example input below costs $0.50 = 500 API credits (10 s input video × $0.05).

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/bria/video/background-removal/v3` 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `output_container_and_codec` |  | enum (string) | no | `webm_vp9` | `mp4_h265`, `mp4_h264`, `webm_vp9`, `mov_h265`, `mov_proresks`, `mkv_h265`, `mkv_h264`, `mkv_vp9`, `gif` | Container and codec used for output: mp4_h265, mp4_h264, webm_vp9, mov_h265, mov_proresks, mkv_h265, mkv_h264, mkv_vp9, or gif. |
| `preserve_audio` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Audio retention in the output video is enabled when true. |
| `video_url` | `video` | string (video URL) | yes |  |  | Source video for background removal. |
| `background_color` |  | enum (string) | no | `Black` | `Transparent`, `Black`, `White`, `Gray`, `Red`, `Green`, `Blue`, `Yellow`, `Cyan`, `Magenta`, `Orange` | Color used for the background: Transparent, Black, White, Gray, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Cyan, Magenta, or Orange. |
| `auto_zoom` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Automatic crop toggle: true uses the subject's positions across all video frames to find the smallest enclosing rectangle and crops the output to it. |

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/bria/video/background-removal/v3?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/bria/video/background-removal/v3?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/bria/video/background-removal/v3", 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": "bria/video/background-removal/v3",
      "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.
