# Bytedance Seedream V4 Edit API

> Prompt-based na pag-edit ng hanggang 10 input larawan, na may multi-larawan output at mabilis o standard na prompt enhancement

Nag-e-edit ng mga kasalukuyang larawan mula sa teksto prompt. Tumatanggap ang `image_urls` ng hanggang 10 larawan; kung higit pa ang ipinadala, huling 10 lamang ang ginagamit. Maaaring preset gaya ng square_hd, portrait_16_9, auto_2K o auto_4K ang laki ng output, o custom na width at height. Umaabot sa 6 ang `num_images` at `max_images` para sa maraming resulta, at nagpapalit ang `enhance_prompt_mode` sa standard o fast.

- Model id: `bytedance/seedream/v4/edit`
- Made by: ByteDance
- Category: Image Editing
- Output: image
- Price: $0.03 / image (cheapest run $0.03 (30 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/bytedance/seedream/v4/edit`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/bytedance/seedream/v4/edit`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/fil/developers/models/bytedance/seedream/v4/edit

## Pricing

Price: **$0.03 / image**. Billed per generated image (`num_images` × `max_images`, default 1).

The full example input below costs $0.03 = 30 API credits (1 image × 30 API credits).

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/bytedance/seedream/v4/edit` 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 |  |  | Mga text instruction para sa pag-edit ng larawan. |
| `image_size` |  | object {width, height} \| enum (string) | no | `{"height":2048,"width":2048}` | `square_hd`, `square`, `portrait_4_3`, `portrait_16_9`, `landscape_4_3`, `landscape_16_9`, `auto`, `auto_2K`, `auto_4K` | Piliin ang mga dimension ng nabuong larawan. Kung magreresulta ang mga ito sa area na mas mababa sa 921600 pixels, proporsyonal na itataas ang mga ito upang maabot ang minimum nang hindi binabago ang aspect ratio. |
| `num_images` | `num_outputs` | integer | no | `1` | 1 – 6 | Bilang ng magkakahiwalay na modelo pagbuo run gamit ang prompt. |
| `max_images` |  | integer | no | `1` | 1 – 6 | Itakda ang larawan ceiling bawat pagbuo gamit ang `max_images`; ang mga value na higit sa isa ay nag-e-enable ng multi-larawan pagbuo. Sa `num_images` na pagbuo, maaaring magbalik ang bawat isa ng hanggang `max_images` na larawan, kaya ang kabuuang bilang ng output ay mula `num_images` hanggang `max_images*num_images`. Hindi maaaring gumamit ng higit sa 15 larawan kapag pinagsama ang input at output. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Random seed na kumokontrol sa randomness habang bumubuo ng larawan. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Switch para sa safety checking na nangangailangan ng authorization ng account kapag naka-off. Kung walang authorization na iyon, sinusuri ang bawat kahilingan anuman ang setting; ino-on ng true ang checker. |
| `enhance_prompt_mode` |  | enum (string) | no | `standard` | `standard`, `fast` | Piliin ang prompt enhancement mode ayon sa trade-off ng quality/time: mas kaunting oras ang kailangan ng Fast ngunit average ang kalidad; mas matagal ang Standard ngunit mas mataas ang kalidad. |
| `image_urls` | `images` | array of image URL | yes |  |  | Mga URL ng larawang ie-edit, na ipoproseso mula sa huling 10 entry kung mas mahaba ang isinumiteng listahan; 10 larawan ang kasalukuyang limitasyon sa input. |

File parameters (`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",
  "images": [
    "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg"
  ]
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field",
  "image_urls": [
    "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg"
  ]
}
```

## 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/bytedance/seedream/v4/edit?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",
    "image_urls": [
      "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg"
    ]
  }'

# 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/bytedance/seedream/v4/edit?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",
    "image_urls": [
      "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg"
    ]
  }),
});
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",
    "image_urls": [
        "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg",
    ],
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/bytedance/seedream/v4/edit", 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": "bytedance/seedream/v4/edit",
      "input": {
        "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field",
        "image_urls": [
          "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg"
        ]
      },
      "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.
