# Avatars · Audio to Video API

> Makes a talking avatar video from an audio file, using a preset avatar chosen by `avatar_id`

Takes an audio file via `audio_url` and a required `avatar_id`, then produces a video of a presenter-style avatar speaking along with the recording. The avatar list includes named vertical presets such as walking and primary or secondary variants, plus generic male and female options. Use it when you already have a voice track and no source footage.

- Model id: `veed/avatars/audio-to-video`

- Category: Lipsync & Avatars
- Output: video
- Price per minute of your input audio: $0.30 / minute of input audio (cheapest run $0.30 (300 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/veed/avatars/audio-to-video`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/veed/avatars/audio-to-video`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/developers/models/veed/avatars/audio-to-video

## Pricing

Price: **$0.30 / minute of input audio**. Price per minute of your input audio: 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 $0.05 = 50 API credits (0.1667 min input audio × $0.30).

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/veed/avatars/audio-to-video` 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `avatar_id` |  | enum (string) | yes |  | `emily_vertical_primary`, `emily_vertical_secondary`, `marcus_vertical_primary`, `marcus_vertical_secondary`, `mira_vertical_primary`, `mira_vertical_secondary`, `jasmine_vertical_primary`, `jasmine_vertical_secondary`, `jasmine_vertical_walking`, `aisha_vertical_walking`, `elena_vertical_primary`, `elena_vertical_secondary`, `any_male_vertical_primary`, `any_female_vertical_primary`, `any_male_vertical_secondary`, `any_female_vertical_secondary`, `any_female_vertical_walking`, `emily_primary`, `emily_side`, `marcus_primary`, `marcus_side`, `aisha_walking`, `elena_primary`, `elena_side`, `any_male_primary`, `any_female_primary`, `any_male_side`, `any_female_side` | Avatar selected for the video. |
| `audio_url` | `audio` | string (audio URL) | yes |  | 1 – 2083 characters |  |

File parameters (`audio`) 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
{
  "avatar_id": "emily_vertical_primary",
  "audio": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3"
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "avatar_id": "emily_vertical_primary",
  "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3"
}
```

## 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/veed/avatars/audio-to-video?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "avatar_id": "emily_vertical_primary",
    "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3"
  }'

# 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/veed/avatars/audio-to-video?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "avatar_id": "emily_vertical_primary",
    "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3"
  }),
});
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 = {
    "avatar_id": "emily_vertical_primary",
    "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3",
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/veed/avatars/audio-to-video", 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": "veed/avatars/audio-to-video",
      "input": {
        "avatar_id": "emily_vertical_primary",
        "audio_url": "https://content.doitong.com/audio/showcase/v3/tools/dub_es.mp3"
      },
      "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.
