# Sam 3 · Video RLE API

> Segmentação de vídeo com inicialização por URL de máscara, controlo do índice de frame e limite inferior de deteção mais baixo

Segmenta vídeo com SAM 3 usando um `prompt` de texto, prompts de pontos ou caixas, ou uma máscara inicial de `mask_url` aplicada em `frame_index`. `detection_threshold` vai de 0.01 a 1, e valores mais baixos, como 0.2 a 0.3, podem ajudar quando os prompts de texto falham. Pode devolver um zip de caixas delimitadoras por frame com `boundingbox_zip`.

- Model id: `sam-3/video-rle`
- Made by: Meta
- Category: Video to Video
- Output: video
- Price per 16 frames of your input video: $0.005 / 16 frames of input video (cheapest run $0.005 (5 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/sam-3/video-rle`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/sam-3/video-rle`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/pt-PT/developers/models/sam-3/video-rle

## Pricing

Price: **$0.005 / 16 frames of input video**. Price per 16 frames 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 $0.095 = 95 API credits (19 × 16 frames input video × $0.005).

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/sam-3/video-rle` 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 do vídeo para segmentação. |
| `mask_url` | `mask` | string (image URL) \| null | no |  |  | URL da máscara para a aplicação inicial. |
| `prompt` |  | string | no | `` |  | Prompt de segmentação que suporta vários objetos acompanhados através de descrições separadas por vírgulas, como 'person, cloth'. |
| `point_prompts` |  | array of object {x, y, label, object_id, frame_index} | no | `[]` |  | Lista de prompts de pontos que especifica os índices dos frames. |
| `point_prompts[].x` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Posição do prompt no eixo X. |
| `point_prompts[].y` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Posição do prompt no eixo Y. |
| `point_prompts[].label` |  | enum (integer) \| null | no |  | `0`, `1` | Etiqueta de primeiro plano/fundo: 1 indica primeiro plano; 0 indica fundo. |
| `point_prompts[].object_id` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Identificador opcional que agrupa prompts que refinam um único objeto. Se também for fornecido texto como prompt, este identificador determina qual objeto detetado esses pontos refinam. |
| `point_prompts[].frame_index` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Índice que identifica o frame da interação. |
| `box_prompts` |  | array of object {x_min, y_min, x_max, y_max, object_id, frame_index} | no | `[]` |  | Lista de prompts de caixas, com um frame_index opcional para cada entrada. |
| `box_prompts[].x_min` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Coordenada x mínima da caixa. |
| `box_prompts[].y_min` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Coordenada y mínima da caixa. |
| `box_prompts[].x_max` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Coordenada X máxima da caixa. |
| `box_prompts[].y_max` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Coordenada Y máxima da caixa. |
| `box_prompts[].object_id` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Identificador opcional que agrupa caixas que refinam um único objeto. |
| `box_prompts[].frame_index` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Índice que identifica o frame da interação. |
| `apply_mask` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Se deve aplicar a máscara ao vídeo. |
| `boundingbox_zip` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Se deve devolver um arquivo ZIP que contenha sobreposições de caixas delimitadoras para cada frame. |
| `detection_threshold` |  | number | no | `0.5` | 0.01 – 1 | Limite de confiança da deteção, com predefinições de 0.5 para objetos existentes e 0.7 para objetos novos. No intervalo 0.0–1.0, valores menores trocam precisão por mais deteções; experimente 0.2–0.3 quando os prompts de texto falharem. |
| `frame_index` |  | integer | no | `0` |  | Índice do frame para a interação inicial ao fornecer mask_url. |

File parameters (`video`, `mask`) 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/sam-3/video-rle?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/sam-3/video-rle?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/sam-3/video-rle", 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": "sam-3/video-rle",
      "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.
