# Depth Anything Video API

> Schätzt Déiftekaarte pro Frame fir en Input-Video, mat Optioune fir Gréisst, Faarfkaart a Säit-un-Säit-Verglach

Wandelt e Video an eng Déiftvisualiséierung mat konsequente Resultater iwwer all Frames ëm. Wielt eng Modellgréisst (VDA-Small, VDA-Base oder VDA-Large), eng Faarfkaart (grayscale, turbo, inferno, magma oder viridis) an eng Ausgab-`resolution` bis 1080p. Optional kann d’Original mat `side_by_side` nieft dem Déiftvideo gerendert ginn, d’Zuel vun de Frames mat `max_frames` (bis 2400) limitéiert ginn, oder déi rau Déiftwäerter als .npz-Datei exportéiert ginn.

- Price per second of your input video: $0.04 / second of input video (cheapest run $0.04 (40 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/depth-anything-video`

## Pricing

Price: **$0.04 / second of input video**. 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.

The full example input below costs $0.40 = 400 API credits (10 s input video × $0.04).

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/depth-anything-video` 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, déi op de Video fir d'Tiefeschätzung weist. |
| `model` |  | enum (string) | no | `VDA-Large` | `VDA-Small`, `VDA-Base`, `VDA-Large` | Gréisst vum Tiefeschätzungsmodell; VDA-Large bitt déi héchst Qualitéit, während VDA-Small am séierste leeft. |
| `colormap` |  | enum (string) | no | `grayscale` | `grayscale`, `turbo`, `inferno`, `magma`, `viridis` | Palette fir d'Visualiséierung vun der Déift: 'grayscale' weist déi réi normaliséiert Déift, während 'viridis' eng faarfblannenfrëndlech Vue bitt an 'inferno' oder 'magma' eng perceptuell Eenheetlechkeet ubitt. Déi recommandéiert 'turbo'-Palette weist no Regiounen a waarme Faarwen an ewech Regiounen a kale Faarwen un. |
| `resolution` |  | enum (string) | no | `auto` | `auto`, `360p`, `480p`, `720p`, `1080p` | Opléisung fir den Output; `auto` behält d'Input-Opléisung bis 1080p. Verfügbare Wäerter: 'auto', '360p', '480p', '720p', '1080p'. |
| `max_frames` |  | integer \| null | no |  | > 0 | Limit fir d'Veraarbechtung vu Frames, begrenzt op 2400. D'Astellung None erlaabt och bis zu 2400 Frames. |
| `output_fps` |  | number \| null | no |  | > 0 | Frame-Rate vum Output-Video. None behält d'Frame-Rate vum Input. |
| `side_by_side` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Steiert den Output vun engem Video, deen déi originell an d'Tiefenusiicht niewentenee vergläicht. |
| `include_raw_depths` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Steiert den Export vun de réie float32-Tiefendonnéeën an eng .npz-Datei mat `depths` [N,H,W], `min_depth`, `max_depth`, `fps`, `model` an `shape`. |

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/depth-anything-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/depth-anything-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/depth-anything-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": "depth-anything-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.
