Files

View as Markdown Updated

Models that take images, video or audio accept them in any of three forms. Each model page marks its file parameters (for example image, images, videos, audios).

1. A public URL

Any https:// (or http://) URL that the model can download:

JSON
{ "image": "https://example.com/photos/product.jpg" }

The file must be reachable without cookies or login, and stay reachable until the request has started. Each model page lists the size and dimension limits of its file parameters.

2. A data URI

Small files can go inline as a data: URI of up to 10 MB:

JSON
{ "image": "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAA..." }

Base64 makes the body about a third larger than the file, so prefer uploads for anything big.

3. An upload

For local files, ask for an upload URL, PUT the bytes there, and pass the returned file_url to the model. Creating the upload URL is free.

1 · Get an upload URL
curl -X POST "https://api.doitong.com/v1/files" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"filename": "product.jpg", "content_type": "image/jpeg", "size": 482113}'
201 Created · upload
{
  "object": "upload",
  "upload_url": "https://…signed upload URL…",
  "file_url": "https://content.doitong.com/…/product.jpg",
  "method": "PUT",
  "headers": { "Content-Type": "image/jpeg" },
  "content_type": "image/jpeg",
  "expires_in": 3600,
  "max_bytes": 15728640
}
2 · Upload the bytes with exactly the returned headers
curl -X PUT "<upload_url>" -H "Content-Type: image/jpeg" --data-binary @product.jpg
3 · Use file_url as the model input
curl -X POST "https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/{model_id}?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"image": "https://content.doitong.com/…/product.jpg", "prompt": "..."}'
  • Supported uploads: .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .webp (up to 15 MB) and .mp4, .mov, .webm (up to 200 MB). The extension sets the type; content_type must match it.
  • The upload URL is valid for one hour. The file_url stays valid.
  • For audio, use a public URL or a data URI.

Output files

You choose how long output files are kept:

  • Forever (permanent, the default): until you delete them, for 100 API credits ($0.10) per GB per month, charged once a day from the API balance (1 GB = 1024³ bytes).
  • 7 days (temporary): free, then deleted from our storage.

Set the default with the "Keep files forever" switch in the dashboard or with PATCH /account/storage, and override it per run with ?storage=temporary (or permanent):

terminal
curl -X PATCH "https://api.doitong.com/v1/account/storage" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode": "temporary"}'

Each request shows its own storage (mode, bytes, expires_at, expired). The setting applies to new requests; files you already keep forever stay until you delete them with DELETE /requests/{id}/files (see Requests). If the API balance cannot pay for storage, you get an email and 30 days to top up before kept files become temporary.
