# Lightx · Relight API

> Herbelichting van video op basis van een prompt, referentieframe, HDR-afbeelding of achtergrondafbeelding

Wijzigt de belichting van een invoervideo. `relit_cond_type` kiest de voorwaarde: ic (gebruikt `relight_parameters`), ref, hdr of bg, waarbij voor de laatste drie een conditionerende afbeelding in `relit_cond_img_url` nodig is. `ref_id` (0 tot 48) selecteert het referentieframe voor de ref-modus. Een tekstuele `prompt` is optioneel en de video krijgt automatisch bijschriften als deze ontbreekt.

- Model id: `lightx/relight`
- 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/relight`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/lightx/relight`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/nl/developers/models/lightx/relight

## 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/relight` 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. |
| `relit_cond_type` |  | enum (string) | no | `ic` | `ic`, `ref`, `hdr`, `bg` | Type conditie dat voor relighting wordt gebruikt. |
| `relight_parameters` |  | object {relight_prompt, bg_source, cfg, use_sky_mask} \| null | no |  |  | Relightinginstellingen waarvan het gebruik afhangt van relight_condition_type: 'ic' vereist ze, terwijl 'bg' ze negeert en in plaats daarvan een URL naar een achtergrondafbeelding vereist. |
| `relight_parameters.relight_prompt` |  | string | yes |  |  | Tekstprompt die de te produceren lichtomstandigheden specificeert. |
| `relight_parameters.bg_source` |  | enum (string) | no | `Left` | `Left`, `Right`, `Top`, `Bottom` | Richting van de lichtbron voor IC-light. |
| `relight_parameters.cfg` |  | number | no | `2` | 1 – 10 | Schaal van classifier-free guidance die tijdens relighting wordt toegepast. |
| `relight_parameters.use_sky_mask` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Schakelaar voor hemelmaskering bij buitenscènes. |
| `relit_cond_img_url` |  | string \| null | no |  |  | URL van de conditioneringsafbeelding die vereist is voor de instellingen 'ref', 'hdr' en 'bg' van relight_condition_type; in de modus 'bg' levert deze de achtergrond. |
| `ref_id` |  | integer | no | `0` | 0 – 48 | Relightingreferentie geselecteerd op frame-index, waarbij het gegenereerde aantal frames als exclusieve bovengrens dient. Dit aantal is standaard 49. |
| `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/relight?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/relight?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/relight", 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/relight",
      "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.
