# Birefnet API

> Menghapus latar belakang dari video, dengan enam pilihan model, matting, serta output mp4, webm, mov, atau gif

Menerapkan segmentasi BiRefNet ke setiap bingkai video dari `video_url`. Model yang tersedia meliputi Light, Light 2K, Heavy, Matting, Portrait, dan Dynamic, dengan resolusi operasi hingga 2304x2304 (hanya untuk model Dynamic). Output dapat berupa X264 mp4, VP9 webm, ProRes 4444 mov, atau GIF, dengan pengaturan `video_quality` dan `video_write_mode`. Video mask terpisah dapat diminta.

- Model id: `birefnet/v2/video`
- Made by: BiRefNet
- Category: Background Removal
- Output: video
- Charged by usage (up to $2.07 per run, typical $0.007; the rest of the hold is refunded): $0.000575 / second of processing time (cheapest run $0.007 (7 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/birefnet/v2/video`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/birefnet/v2/video`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/id/developers/models/birefnet/v2/video

## Pricing

Price: **$0.000575 / second of processing time**. Charged by actual usage at $0.000575 / second of processing time: up to $2.07 per run (the quote gives the maximum for your input), the rest is refunded automatically after the run. A typical run costs $0.007.

The full example input below holds up to $2.07 = 2070 API credits (up to 3600 s of processing time × $0.000575) when it starts; a typical run costs $0.007 (7 API credits).

Prices are the upstream price in USD, paid from the API balance in API credits (1000 API credits = 1 USD). This model is charged by usage: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/birefnet/v2/video` with the same JSON body returns the most the run can cost for that input (`credits`, debited when the run starts); after the run you pay the usage the model reports and the rest is refunded automatically. An input whose maximum would exceed the per-run limit is refused with 422. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `model` |  | enum (string) | no | `General Use (Light)` | `General Use (Light)`, `General Use (Light 2K)`, `General Use (Heavy)`, `Matting`, `Portrait`, `General Use (Dynamic)` | Pemilihan model penghapusan latar belakang: 'General Use (Light)' memetakan ke BiRefNet, model asli repositori BiRefNet, dan direkomendasikan untuk sebagian besar penggunaan. 'General Use (Light 2K)' memetakan ke BiRefNet_lite-2K dan menggunakan model asli yang dilatih pada gambar 2K. 'General Use (Heavy)' memetakan ke BiRefNet_lite dan memberikan akurasi lebih tinggi dengan pemrosesan lebih lambat. 'Matting' memetakan ke BiRefNet-matting dan dilatih khusus untuk gambar matting. 'Portrait' memetakan ke BiRefNet-portrait dan dilatih khusus untuk gambar potret. 'General Use (Dynamic)' memetakan ke BiRefNet_dynamic dan mendukung resolusi variabel dari 256x256 hingga 2304x2304. |
| `operating_resolution` |  | enum (string) | no | `1024x1024` | `1024x1024`, `2048x2048`, `2304x2304` | Resolusi kerja; '2304x2304' dibatasi untuk model 'General Use (Dynamic)'. Untuk gambar input beresolusi tinggi, pengaturan yang lebih tinggi meningkatkan akurasi output. |
| `output_mask` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Mengontrol apakah mask penghapusan latar belakang disertakan dalam output. |
| `refine_foreground` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Mengontrol penyempurnaan latar depan berdasarkan mask yang diperkirakan. |
| `video_url` | `video` | string (video URL) | yes |  |  | URL yang mengidentifikasi video yang latar belakangnya akan dihapus. |
| `video_output_type` |  | enum (string) | no | `X264 (.mp4)` | `X264 (.mp4)`, `VP9 (.webm)`, `PRORES4444 (.mov)`, `GIF (.gif)` | Jenis output untuk video yang dihasilkan. |
| `video_quality` |  | enum (string) | no | `high` | `low`, `medium`, `high`, `maximum` | Tingkat kualitas untuk video yang dihasilkan. |
| `video_write_mode` |  | enum (string) | no | `balanced` | `fast`, `balanced`, `small` | Mode penulisan untuk video yang dihasilkan. |

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/birefnet/v2/video?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/birefnet/v2/video?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/birefnet/v2/video", 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": "birefnet/v2/video",
      "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.
