# Alibaba V2.6 · Reference to Video · Flash API

> Fast reference-to-video that keeps subjects from up to 5 images or clips, 5 or 10 seconds, with audio

Generates video where subjects from reference files appear as Character1, Character2 and so on in the `prompt`. Combine up to 3 `video_urls` and 5 `image_urls`, with at most 5 references total. Duration is 5 or 10 seconds, resolution 720p or 1080p, and aspect ratio 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3 or 3:4. Multi-shot prompts and audio generation can be toggled.

- Model id: `wan/v2.6/reference-to-video/flash`
- Made by: Alibaba
- Category: Reference to Video
- Output: video
- Price per second of your output video: from $0.05 / second of output video (cheapest run $0.05 (50 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/wan/v2.6/reference-to-video/flash`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/wan/v2.6/reference-to-video/flash`

## Pricing

Price: **from $0.05 / second of output video** (the lowest tier; the quote prices your exact input). Price per second of your output 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, silent: $0.05 / second of output video
- 1080p, silent: $0.075 / second of output video
- 720p: $0.10 / second of output video
- 1080p: $0.15 / second of output video

The full example input below costs $0.75 = 750 API credits (5 s output video × $0.15 (1080p)).

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/v2.6/reference-to-video/flash` 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `prompt` |  | string | yes |  | ≥ 1 characters | Video prompt of up to 1500 characters, using Character1, Character2, etc. to identify people, animals or objects in the reference files. Subject numbering follows video_urls before image_urls. For multiple shots, use: '[0-3s] Shot 1. [3-6s] Shot 2.' |
| `video_urls` | `videos` | array of video URL \| null | no |  |  | Supply 0–3 videos to maintain subject consistency; each must have at least 16 FPS, last 2–30 seconds and be no larger than 100 MB. The combined count across video_urls and image_urls must not exceed 5. Automatic subject numbering assigns Character1, Character2, etc. to video_urls before continuing with image_urls. |
| `image_urls` | `images` | array of image URL \| null | no |  |  | Supply 0–5 images to maintain subject consistency, with no more than 5 references overall across image_urls and video_urls; image_urls receive subject numbers after video_urls. Each image must have a resolution of 240–5000px and a file size no greater than 10 MB. Accepted formats are JPEG, JPG, BMP, WEBP and PNG without alpha. |
| `aspect_ratio` |  | enum (string) | no | `16:9` | `16:9`, `9:16`, `1:1`, `4:3`, `3:4` | Aspect ratio for the output video. |
| `resolution` |  | enum (string) | no | `1080p` | `720p`, `1080p` | Resolution tier for video output; R2V Flash accepts only 720p or 1080p. |
| `duration` |  | enum (string) | no | `5` | `5`, `10` | Set how long the generated video lasts, in seconds. For R2V Flash, the available lengths are restricted to 5 or 10 seconds. |
| `negative_prompt` |  | string \| null | no | `` |  | Negative prompt specifying unwanted content, limited to 500 characters. |
| `enable_prompt_expansion` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Controls whether an LLM rewrites the prompt. |
| `multi_shots` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Shot segmentation control, available only with enable_prompt_expansion set to True. The default true uses intelligent segmentation to build a coherent narrative across shots; false keeps the video as one continuous shot. |
| `generate_audio` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Choose silent video generation with false, or enable audio to include sound in the generated video. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Seed that makes generation reproducible. Setting it to None selects a seed randomly. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Safety-checking switch whose off setting requires account authorization. Without that authorization, every request is checked regardless of the setting; true enables the checker. |

File parameters (`videos`, `images`) 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
{
  "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/v2.6/reference-to-video/flash?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/v2.6/reference-to-video/flash?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/v2.6/reference-to-video/flash", 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/v2.6/reference-to-video/flash",
      "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.
