# Wan-2.1 Image-to-Video API

> Wan 2.1 image-to-video che animescha in singul maletg inizial d'in prompt textual

Animescha in input maletg (`image_url`) suandond in `prompt`. L'output è 480p u 720p, cun proporziun d'aspect automatica, 16:9, 9:16 u 1:1; ils maletgs che na correspundan betg vegnan tagliads al center. `num_frames` è da 81 a 100 cun 5-24 frame per secunda. Ils parameters da controlla includan `negative_prompt`, `seed`, `guide_scale`, `shift` ed in'impostaziun `acceleration`.

- 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/rm/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 |  |  | Instrucziuns textualas che guidan la generaziun video. |

| `num_frames` |  | integer \| null | no | `81` | 81 – 100 | Dumber da frames per la generaziun, da 81 fin 100 inclusiv. |
| `frames_per_second` |  | integer \| null | no | `16` | 5 – 24 | Frequentaziun da frames dal video generà, en frames per secunda, da 5 fin 24. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Seed che renda la generaziun reproducibla. Cun definir None vegn tschernì in seed casualmain. |

| `acceleration` |  | enum (string) | no | `regular` | `none`, `regular` | Configuraziun da l'acceleraziun, cun 'regular' sco tscherna recumandada. Augmentar l'acceleraziun sacrifiquescha qualitad per reducir il temp da generaziun. |
| `aspect_ratio` |  | enum (string) | no | `auto` | `auto`, `16:9`, `9:16`, `1:1` | Proporziuns dal video generà, tschernidas automaticamain dal maletg d'input cura che 'auto' è configurà. |

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",

```

## 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

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", {

  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",

# 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.
