# Lightx · Recamera API

> Filmt een bestaande video opnieuw vanaf een nieuw camerapad, met herbelichting en traject- of doelposebesturing

Neemt een invoer-`video_url` en rendert deze opnieuw met een gewijzigd camerastandpunt. Stel `camera` in op `traj` en geef een `trajectory` op, of op `target` en geef een `target_pose` van [theta, phi, radius, x, y]. De bewegings-`mode` kan gradual, bullet, direct of dolly-zoom zijn. Een tekstuele `prompt` is optioneel; als deze ontbreekt, wordt de video automatisch van bijschriften voorzien.

- Model id: `lightx/recamera`
- Made by: Open model
- Category: Video to Video
- Output: video
- Price per second of your output video: $0.10 / second of output video (cheapest run $0.10 (100 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/lightx/recamera`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/lightx/recamera`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/nl/developers/models/lightx/recamera

## Pricing

Price: **$0.10 / second of output video**. Price per second of your output 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 $0.49 = 490 API credits (4.9 s output video × $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/lightx/recamera` 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 van de invoervideo. |
| `prompt` |  | string \| null | no |  |  | Optionele tekstprompt; Light-X maakt automatisch een bijschrift van de video wanneer geen prompt wordt opgegeven. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Seed die generatie reproduceerbaar maakt. Als je deze instelt op None, wordt willekeurig een seed gekozen. |
| `camera` |  | enum (string) | no | `traj` | `traj`, `target` | Modus voor het besturen van de camera. |
| `mode` |  | enum (string) | no | `gradual` | `gradual`, `bullet`, `direct`, `dolly-zoom` | Modus voor camerabeweging. |
| `trajectory` |  | object {theta, phi, radius} \| null | no |  |  | Instellingen voor het camerapad, vereist in recamera-modus. |
| `trajectory.theta` |  | array of number | yes |  |  | Horizontale rotatiehoeken per keyframe, gemeten in graden. |
| `trajectory.phi` |  | array of number | yes |  |  | Verticale rotatiehoeken per keyframe, gemeten in graden. |
| `trajectory.radius` |  | array of number | yes |  |  | Factoren per keyframe die de camera-afstand schalen. |
| `target_pose` |  | array of number \| null | no |  |  | Doelcamerapositie, vereist als camera='target'. Geef een array op in de volgorde theta, daarna phi, daarna radius, daarna x en y. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Screening kan worden versoepeld door false in te stellen, mits de aanroeper is geautoriseerd. |

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/lightx/recamera?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/lightx/recamera?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/lightx/recamera", 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": "lightx/recamera",
      "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.
