# Topaz Video Upscale API

> Video-Upscaler a Restauratiounstool vun Topaz Labs, bis zu 4x mat optionaler Framerate-Konversioun.

Vergréissert a restauréiert Video mat Topaz senge Proteus-, Iris-, Dione-, Artemis-, Gaia-, Rhea- an Theia-Modeller, vun alen DV- an TV-Opname bis zur Animatioun. Kontrollen fir Detailrestauratioun, Rauschen, Haloen, Kompressioun a Grain an eng optional Zil-Framerate vun 16 bis 60 fps.

- Model id: `topaz/upscale/video/precision`
- Made by: Topaz Labs
- Category: Upscale
- Output: video
- Price per second of your input video: from $0.00667 / second of input video (cheapest run $0.10 (100 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/topaz/upscale/video/precision`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/topaz/upscale/video/precision`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/lb/developers/models/topaz/upscale/video/precision

## Pricing

Price: **from $0.00667 / 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:

- 720p: $0.00667 / second of input video
- 1080p: $0.0133 / second of input video
- 720p, frame rate: $0.0133 / second of input video
- 1080p, frame rate: $0.0267 / second of input video
- 4K: $0.0517 / second of input video
- above 4K: $0.0919 / second of input video
- 4K, frame rate: $0.1033 / second of input video
- above 4K, frame rate: $0.1837 / second of input video

The full example input below costs $0.60 = 600 API credits (10 s input video × $0.051667 (4K), rounded up to the next $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/topaz/upscale/video/precision` 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 vum Quellvideo fir Upscaling. |
| `model` |  | enum (string) | no | `Proteus` | `Proteus`, `Proteus Natural`, `Iris`, `Iris Low Quality`, `Dione DV`, `Dione TV`, `Dione Robust`, `Dione Dehalo`, `Dione Robust Dehalo`, `Artemis High Quality`, `Artemis Medium Quality`, `Artemis Low Quality`, `Artemis Strong Halo`, `Artemis Medium Halo`, `Artemis Aliasing & Moire`, `Gaia HQ`, `Gaia CG`, `Gaia 2`, `Rhea`, `Theia Fine Tune Detail`, `Theia Fine Tune Fidelity` | Net-generativt Präzisiounsverbesserungsmodell: Theia bitt manuell Kontroll iwwer Treiheet an Detail, Rhea maximéiert fein Detailer duerch en interne 4x-Duerchlaf. Fir Restauratioun benotzt Artemis fir degradéiert Footage ze schäerfen an ze entgeräuschen, Dione fir legacy oder interlaced Material ze deinterlacen oder Iris fir Gesiichter ze recuperéieren. Fir déi meescht Footage aus der realer Welt eegent sech Proteus; Proteus Natural ass eng méi mëll Alternativ. Gaia verbessert héichwäertegt Footage a CG, wärend Gaia 2 2x-Upscaling fir Animatioun bitt. |
| `upscale_factor` |  | number | no | `2` | 1 – 4 | Video-Skaléierungsmultiplizéierer; 2.0 verduebelt béid Frame-Dimensiounen. |
| `target_fps` |  | integer \| null | no |  | 16 – 60 | Zil-Output-Frame-Rate; wann se der Quell-FPS entsprécht, bleift d'Interpolatioun ausgeschalt, an nëmmen eng aner FPS aktivéiert se. |
| `compression` |  | number \| null | no |  | 0 – 1 | Stäerkt vun der Kompressiounsartefakt-Entfernung, vun 0.0 bis 1.0. De Standard gëtt vum Modell bestëmmt. |
| `noise` |  | number \| null | no |  | 0 – 1 | Stäerkt vun der Geräischreduktioun, vun 0.0 bis 1.0. De Standard gëtt vum Modell bestëmmt. |
| `halo` |  | number \| null | no |  | 0 – 1 | Stäerkt vun der Halo-Reduktioun, vun 0.0 bis 1.0. De Standard gëtt vum Modell bestëmmt. |
| `grain` |  | number \| null | no |  | 0 – 0.1 | Quantitéit vum Filmkär, vun 0.0 bis 0.1. De Standard hänkt vum Modell of. |
| `recover_detail` |  | number \| null | no |  | 0 – 1 | Stäerkt vun der Rekonstruktioun vun originellen Detailer, vun 0.0 bis 1.0. E méi héije Wäert erhält méi Quellendetailer. |
| `H264_output` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Steiert, ob den Output-Video H264-Encoding amplaz vum Standard-H265 benotzt. |

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": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
  "upscale_factor": 2
}
```

## 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/precision?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "video": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
    "upscale_factor": 2
  }'

# 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/precision?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "video": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
    "upscale_factor": 2
  }),
});
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": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
    "upscale_factor": 2,
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/topaz/upscale/video/precision", 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/precision",
      "input": {
        "video": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
        "upscale_factor": 2
      },
      "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.
