# Bytedance Seedream V4 Edit API

> Modifica basata su prompt di fino a 10 immagini di input, con output multi-immagine e miglioramento del prompt rapido o standard

Modifica immagini esistenti da un prompt testuale. `image_urls` accetta fino a 10 immagini; se ne vengono inviate di più, vengono usate solo le ultime 10. La dimensione dell'output può essere un preset come square_hd, portrait_16_9, auto_2K o auto_4K, oppure larghezza e altezza personalizzate. `num_images` e `max_images` arrivano entrambi fino a 6 per ottenere più risultati e `enhance_prompt_mode` alterna tra standard e 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/it/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 |  |  | Istruzioni testuali per modificare l'immagine. |
| `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` | Scegli le dimensioni dell'immagine generata. Se producono un'area inferiore a 921600 pixel, vengono aumentate proporzionalmente per raggiungere tale minimo senza alterare il rapporto d'aspetto. |
| `num_images` | `num_outputs` | integer | no | `1` | 1 – 6 | Numero di esecuzioni indipendenti della generazione del modello usando il prompt. |
| `max_images` |  | integer | no | `1` | 1 – 6 | Imposta il limite di immagini per generazione con `max_images`; i valori superiori a uno abilitano la generazione di più immagini. Nelle `num_images` generazioni, ciascuna può restituire fino a `max_images` immagini, per un totale di output compreso tra `num_images` e `max_images*num_images`. Non è possibile usare più di 15 immagini complessive tra input e output. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Seed casuale che governa la casualità durante la generazione dell'immagine. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Interruttore del controllo di sicurezza la cui disattivazione richiede l'autorizzazione dell'account. Senza tale autorizzazione, ogni richiesta viene controllata indipendentemente dall'impostazione; true abilita il controllo. |
| `enhance_prompt_mode` |  | enum (string) | no | `standard` | `standard`, `fast` | Scegli la modalità di miglioramento del prompt in base al compromesso qualità/tempo: Fast richiede meno tempo ma offre una qualità media; Standard richiede più tempo ma offre una qualità superiore. |
| `image_urls` | `images` | array of image URL | yes |  |  | URL delle immagini da modificare, elaborati a partire dalle ultime 10 voci se viene inviato un elenco più lungo; il limite attuale di input è di 10 immagini. |

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.
