# Lightx · Relight API

> Relumination vidéo pilotée par une invite, une image de référence, une image HDR ou une image d’arrière-plan

Modifie l’éclairage d’une vidéo d’entrée. `relit_cond_type` choisit la condition : ic (utilise `relight_parameters`), ref, hdr ou bg ; les trois dernières nécessitent une image de conditionnement dans `relit_cond_img_url`. `ref_id` (de 0 à 48) sélectionne l’image de référence en mode ref. Un `prompt` textuel est facultatif et la vidéo est automatiquement légendée lorsqu’il est absent.

- Model id: `lightx/relight`
- Made by: Open model
- Category: Video to Video
- Output: video
- Price per second of your output video: $0.10 / second of output video (cheapest run $0.10 (100 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/lightx/relight`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/lightx/relight`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/fr-FR/developers/models/lightx/relight

## Pricing

Price: **$0.10 / second of output video**. 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.

The full example input below costs $0.49 = 490 API credits (4.9 s output video × $0.10).

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/lightx/relight` 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `video_url` | `video` | string (video URL) | yes |  |  | URL de la vidéo d'entrée. |
| `prompt` |  | string \| null | no |  |  | Invite textuelle facultative ; Light-X légende automatiquement la vidéo lorsqu’aucune invite n’est fournie. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Graine qui rend la génération reproductible. La définir sur None sélectionne une graine aléatoirement. |
| `relit_cond_type` |  | enum (string) | no | `ic` | `ic`, `ref`, `hdr`, `bg` | Type de condition utilisé pour le rééclairage. |
| `relight_parameters` |  | object {relight_prompt, bg_source, cfg, use_sky_mask} \| null | no |  |  | Paramètres de rééclairage dont l’utilisation dépend de relight_condition_type : 'ic' les requiert, tandis que 'bg' les ignore et requiert à la place une URL d’image d’arrière-plan. |
| `relight_parameters.relight_prompt` |  | string | yes |  |  | Invite textuelle spécifiant les conditions d’éclairage à produire. |
| `relight_parameters.bg_source` |  | enum (string) | no | `Left` | `Left`, `Right`, `Top`, `Bottom` | Direction de la source lumineuse pour IC-light. |
| `relight_parameters.cfg` |  | number | no | `2` | 1 – 10 | Échelle du classifier-free guidance appliquée pendant le rééclairage. |
| `relight_parameters.use_sky_mask` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Option de masquage du ciel pour les scènes extérieures. |
| `relit_cond_img_url` |  | string \| null | no |  |  | URL de l’image de condition requise par les réglages 'ref', 'hdr' et 'bg' de relight_condition_type ; en mode 'bg', elle fournit l’arrière-plan. |
| `ref_id` |  | integer | no | `0` | 0 – 48 | Référence de rééclairage sélectionnée par index d’image, le nombre d’images générées servant de borne supérieure exclusive. Ce nombre vaut 49 par défaut. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Le filtrage peut être assoupli en définissant false, si l'appelant est autorisé. |

File parameters (`video`) 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
{
  "video": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4"
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4"
}
```

## 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/lightx/relight?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4"
  }'

# 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/lightx/relight?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4"
  }),
});
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 = {
    "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/lightx/relight", 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": "lightx/relight",
      "input": {
        "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4"
      },
      "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.
