# Lynx API

> Pretvorba slike v videoposnetek z dosledno identiteto subjekta, pri 480p do 720p in 9 do 81 sličicah

Animira sliko subjekta (`image_url`) v skladu z besedilnim `prompt`. Ohranjanje identitete lahko nastavite z `ip_scale` in `strength` (oba od 0 do 2). Ločljivost je lahko 480p, 580p ali 720p, razmerje stranic 16:9, 9:16 ali 1:1, `num_frames` pa sega od 9 do 81 pri 5 do 30 sličicah na sekundo. Na voljo so tudi negativni poziv, dve lestvici vodenja, 1 do 75 korakov sklepanja in seme.

- Model id: `bytedance/lynx`
- Made by: ByteDance
- Category: Image to Video
- Output: video
- Price per second of your output video: $0.60 / second of output video (cheapest run $0.60 (600 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/bytedance/lynx`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/bytedance/lynx`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/sl/developers/models/bytedance/lynx

## Pricing

Price: **$0.60 / 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 $3.038 = 3038 API credits (5.0625 s output video × $0.60).

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/bytedance/lynx` 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `image_url` | `image` | string (image URL) | yes |  |  | URL slike motiva, uporabljene za ustvarjanje videa. |
| `prompt` |  | string | yes |  |  | Besedilna navodila, ki usmerjajo generiranje videa. |
| `negative_prompt` |  | string | no | `Bright tones, overexposed, blurred background, static, subtitles, style, works, paintings, images, overall gray, worst quality, low quality, JPEG compression residue, ugly, incomplete, extra fingers, poorly drawn hands, poorly drawn faces, deformed, disfigured, misshapen limbs, fused fingers, still picture, messy background, three legs, many people in the background, walking backwards` |  | V tem negativnem pozivu opišite neželeno vsebino videa, da se ji generiranje izogne. |
| `num_inference_steps` |  | integer | no | `50` | 1 – 75 | Število korakov vzorčenja; večje število pomeni daljšo obdelavo in boljšo kakovost. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Seme, ki omogoča ponovljivo generiranje. Če ga nastavite na None, se seme izbere naključno. |
| `resolution` |  | enum (string) | no | `720p` | `480p`, `580p`, `720p` | Ločljivost izhodnega videa, izbrana med 480p, 580p ali 720p. |
| `aspect_ratio` |  | enum (string) | no | `16:9` | `16:9`, `9:16`, `1:1` | Razmerje stranic izhodnega videa, izbrano med 16:9, 9:16 ali 1:1. |
| `ip_scale` |  | number | no | `1` | 0 – 2 | Določite, kako zvesto naj video ohrani identiteto osebe ali motiva na referenčni sliki. |
| `strength` |  | number | no | `1` | 0 – 2 | Prilagodite, koliko se ustvarjeni video opira na referenčno sliko, tako da nastavite njeno merilo. |
| `frames_per_second` |  | integer | no | `16` | 5 – 30 | Hitrost sličic izhodnega videa v sličicah na sekundo, omejena na 5 do 30. |
| `guidance_scale` |  | number | no | `5` | 1 – 20 | Jakost Classifier-free guidance, pri kateri večje merilo pomeni možno izgubo kakovosti v zameno za natančnejše ujemanje s pozivom. |
| `guidance_scale_2` |  | number | no | `2` | 0 – 10 | Merilo vodenja slike pri generiranju videa, ki uravnoteži zvestobo referenčni sliki in kakovost: višje merilo daje tesnejše ujemanje, vendar lahko zmanjša kakovost. |
| `num_frames` |  | integer | no | `81` | 9 – 81 | Število sličic izhodnega videa, omejeno na 9 do 100. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Preverjanje je mogoče omiliti z nastavitvijo false, če je klicatelj pooblaščen. |

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
{
  "image": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg",
  "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg",
  "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/bytedance/lynx?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg",
    "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
  }'

# 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/bytedance/lynx?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg",
    "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
  }),
});
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 = {
    "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg",
    "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/bytedance/lynx", 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": "bytedance/lynx",
      "input": {
        "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg",
        "prompt": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field"
      },
      "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.
