# Topaz Upscale Video Creative API

> Mise à l’échelle créative de vidéos inventant des détails fins, avec prompt et contrôles de créativité et de réalisme

Agrandit une vidéo avec un modèle qui réinvente les détails au lieu de simplement les accentuer. `creativity` (0-1) définit la quantité de nouvelles textures ajoutées, `realism` favorise le photoréalisme et `sharp` règle la netteté de sortie. Un `prompt` facultatif de 1024 caractères maximum guide les détails, puis l’entrée est limitée à 450 images. Le `upscale_factor` demandé (1-4) peut être remplacé par les tailles de sortie prises en charge par le modèle.

- Model id: `topaz/upscale/video/creative`
- Made by: Topaz Labs
- Category: Upscale
- Output: video
- Price per second of your input video: from $0.30 / second of input video (cheapest run $0.30 (300 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/topaz/upscale/video/creative`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/topaz/upscale/video/creative`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/fr/developers/models/topaz/upscale/video/creative

## Pricing

Price: **from $0.30 / second of input video** (the lowest tier; the quote prices your exact input). Price per second of your input 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:

- up to 1080p: $0.30 / second of input video
- 4K: $0.50 / second of input video
- up to 1080p, frame rate: $0.60 / second of input video
- above 4K: $0.8889 / second of input video
- 4K, frame rate: $1.00 / second of input video
- above 4K, frame rate: $1.7778 / second of input video

The full example input below costs $5.00 = 5000 API credits (10 s input video × $0.50 (4K)).

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/topaz/upscale/video/creative` 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 source pour la mise à l’échelle. |
| `prompt` |  | string \| null | no |  | ≤ 1024 characters | Guidage facultatif des détails pour Astra 2, disponible uniquement pour les vidéos d’entrée comportant au plus 450 images. Fournissez un texte pour orienter les détails générés. |
| `creativity` |  | number | no | `0.5` | 0 – 1 | Créativité d’Astra 2 lors de l’ajout de texture et de détails : l’inventivité est maximale à 1.0 et la fidélité à l’original à 0.0. |
| `realism` |  | number \| null | no |  | 0 – 1 | Biais de photoréalisme pour les détails générés, de 0.0 à 1.0. |
| `sharp` |  | number \| null | no |  | 0 – 1 | Réglage de la netteté avec une valeur neutre par défaut de 0.5. Utilisez 0.0 pour une sortie plus douce ; une netteté élevée est appliquée à 1.0. |
| `upscale_factor` |  | number | no | `2` | 1 – 4 | Facteur de mise à l’échelle demandé, soumis à la sélection par Astra 2 d’une résolution de sortie prise en charge, généralement 4K pour la mise à l’échelle. Un facteur de 2.0 demande deux fois la largeur et deux fois la hauteur, mais le modèle peut remplacer cette cible. |
| `target_fps` |  | integer \| null | no |  | 16 – 60 | Fréquence d’images de sortie cible ; si elle correspond à la fréquence source, l’interpolation reste désactivée, et seule une fréquence différente l’active. |
| `H264_output` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Indique si la vidéo de sortie utilise l’encodage H264 au lieu du H265 par défaut. |

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/topaz/upscale/video/creative?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/topaz/upscale/video/creative?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/topaz/upscale/video/creative", 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": "topaz/upscale/video/creative",
      "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.
