# Meshy Rigging Multi Animation API

> Rigs a humanoid GLB once and bakes several animation presets in a single run

Rigs a humanoid GLB from `model_url` and generates one animation clip for each ID in `animation_action_ids`, all on the same rig. The clips come back in request order in the `animations` array, alongside the rigged GLB and FBX files and the basic walk and run animations. At least one ID is required. `height_meters` sets the character's approximate height.

- Model id: `meshy/rigging/multi-animation`
- Made by: Meshy
- Category: 3D
- Output: json
- Price per run: $0.20 / run (cheapest run $0.20 (200 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/meshy/rigging/multi-animation`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/meshy/rigging/multi-animation`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/developers/models/meshy/rigging/multi-animation

## Pricing

Price: **$0.20 / run**. Price per run: 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 $0.44 = 440 API credits (1 run × $0.44).

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/meshy/rigging/multi-animation` 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `model_url` |  | string | yes |  | ≥ 1 characters | URL for rigging and animating a humanoid 3D character whose limbs are clearly distinguishable. The URL must be publicly accessible and point to a GLB file; the model may come from Hunyuan, Trellis, Meshy, or another 3D generation tool. |
| `height_meters` |  | number | no | `1.7` | > 0 | Estimated character height, measured in meters. |
| `animation_action_ids` |  | array of integer | yes |  |  | Meshy library animation preset IDs; at least one is required, each within [0, 696], with a maximum of 10 distinct clips and duplicates removed. Each ID produces a clip using the same rig, returned in the animations array in the order requested. Available IDs are documented at https://docs.meshy.ai/en/api/animation-library. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Preprocessing safety-check switch: true makes an input safety check a prerequisite to processing. |

## Example input

Required parameters only:

```json
{
  "model_url": "https://example.com/your-file.glb",
  "animation_action_ids": [
    36,
    92
  ]
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "model_url": "https://example.com/your-file.glb",
  "animation_action_ids": [
    36,
    92
  ]
}
```

## 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/meshy/rigging/multi-animation?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model_url": "https://example.com/your-file.glb",
    "animation_action_ids": [
      36,
      92
    ]
  }'

# 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/meshy/rigging/multi-animation?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "model_url": "https://example.com/your-file.glb",
    "animation_action_ids": [
      36,
      92
    ]
  }),
});
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 = {
    "model_url": "https://example.com/your-file.glb",
    "animation_action_ids": [
        36,
        92,
    ],
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/meshy/rigging/multi-animation", 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": "meshy/rigging/multi-animation",
      "input": {
        "model_url": "https://example.com/your-file.glb",
        "animation_action_ids": [
          36,
          92
        ]
      },
      "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.
