# Wan-2.1 Image-to-Video API

> Wan 2.1 image-to-video, dat een eenzegt Startbild aus engem Textprompt animéiert

Animéiert een Inputbild (`image_url`) no engem `prompt`. D'Ausgab ass 480p oder 720p, mat dem Bildverhältnis auto, 16:9, 9:16 oder 1:1; Biller mat engem anere Verhältnis ginn zentréiert gecropt. `num_frames` ass 81-100 bei 5-24 Frames pro Sekonn. Zu de Steierungsméiglechkeete gehéieren `negative_prompt`, `seed`, `guide_scale`, `shift` an eng `acceleration`-Astellung.

- Model id: `wan-i2v`
- Made by: Alibaba
- Category: Image to Video
- Output: video
- Price: from $0.20 / video (cheapest run $0.20 (200 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/wan-i2v`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/wan-i2v`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/lb/developers/models/wan-i2v

## Pricing

Price: **from $0.20 / video** (the lowest tier; the quote prices your exact input). Billed once per generated video.

Price rules (the first rule that matches the input wins; a parameter you leave out counts as its default):

- When `num_frames` > 81 and `resolution` = 720p: $0.50 (500 API credits) / video
- When `resolution` = 720p: $0.40 (400 API credits) / video
- When `num_frames` > 81: $0.25 (250 API credits) / video

The full example input below costs $0.40 = 400 API credits (1 video × 400 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/wan-i2v` 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 |  |  | Textinstruktiounen, déi d'Video-Generatioun steieren. |
| `negative_prompt` |  | string | no | `bright colors, overexposed, static, blurred details, subtitles, style, artwork, painting, picture, still, overall gray, worst quality, low quality, JPEG compression residue, ugly, incomplete, extra fingers, poorly drawn hands, poorly drawn faces, deformed, disfigured, malformed limbs, fused fingers, still picture, cluttered background, three legs, many people in the background, walking backwards` |  | Negative Prompt bei der Generatioun vun engem Video. |
| `image_url` | `image` | string (image URL) | yes |  |  | URL vum Quellbild; dat gewielte Bildformat bestëmmt, ob Virveraarbechtung néideg ass: Bei enger Ofwäichung gëtt d'Bild skaléiert an duerno zentral gecropt. |
| `num_frames` |  | integer \| null | no | `81` | 81 – 100 | Framezuel fir d'Generatioun, vun 81 bis inklusiv 100. |
| `frames_per_second` |  | integer \| null | no | `16` | 5 – 24 | Frame-Rate vum generéierte Video a Frames pro Sekonn, vun 5 bis 24. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Seed, deen d'Generatioun reproduzéierbar mécht. Wann et op None gesat gëtt, gëtt e Seed zoufälleg gewielt. |
| `resolution` |  | enum (string) | no | `720p` | `480p`, `720p` | Opléisung vum Output-Video, entweder 480p oder 720p. |
| `num_inference_steps` |  | integer | no | `30` | 2 – 40 | Unzuel vun de Sampling-Schrëtt; méi Schrëtt bedeite méi laang Veraarbechtung, awer besser Qualitéit. |
| `guide_scale` |  | number | no | `5` | 1 – 10 | Classifier-free Guidance-Stäerkt; mat steigender Skala gëtt méigleche Qualitéitsverloscht géint eng méi genee Prompt-Entspriechung ofgewiicht. |
| `shift` |  | number | no | `5` | 1 – 10 | Shift-Astellung bei der Generatioun vum Video. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Sécherheetskontrollschalter, deem seng ausgeschalt Astellung d'Autorisatioun vum Kont erfuerdert. Ouni dës Autorisatioun gëtt all Ufro onofhängeg vun der Astellung kontrolléiert; true aktivéiert d'Kontroll. |
| `enable_prompt_expansion` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Steiert, ob d'Prompt-Erweiderung aktivéiert ass. |
| `acceleration` |  | enum (string) | no | `regular` | `none`, `regular` | Beschleunegungsastellung, mat 'regular' als recommandéierter Wiel. Méi Beschleunegung reduzéiert d'Qualitéit, fir d'Generatiounszäit ze verkierzen. |
| `aspect_ratio` |  | enum (string) | no | `auto` | `auto`, `16:9`, `9:16`, `1:1` | Proportioune vum generéierte Video, automatesch aus dem Input-Bild ausgewielt, wann op 'auto' gesat. |

File parameters (`image`) 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",
  "image": "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_url": "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/wan-i2v?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_url": "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/wan-i2v?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({

  }),
});
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_url": "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/wan-i2v", 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": "wan-i2v",
      "input": {
        "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field",
        "image_url": "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.
