# Lightx · Recamera API

> Filmar om en befintlig video från en ny kamerabana med ny ljussättning, via bana- eller målposekontroll

Tar en `video_url` och renderar den igen från en ändrad kameravinkel. Ange `camera` till `traj` och skicka en `trajectory`, eller till `target` och ange en `target_pose` med [theta, phi, radius, x, y]. Rörelsens `mode` kan vara gradual, bullet, direct eller dolly-zoom. En textbaserad `prompt` är valfri; om den utelämnas textas videon automatiskt.

- 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/sv/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 till indatavideon. |
| `prompt` |  | string \| null | no |  |  | Valfri textprompt; Light-X textar automatiskt videon när ingen prompt anges. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Seed som gör genereringen reproducerbar. Om det ställs in på None väljs ett seed slumpmässigt. |
| `camera` |  | enum (string) | no | `traj` | `traj`, `target` | Läge som används för att styra kameran. |
| `mode` |  | enum (string) | no | `gradual` | `gradual`, `bullet`, `direct`, `dolly-zoom` | Läge som används för kamerarörelse. |
| `trajectory` |  | object {theta, phi, radius} \| null | no |  |  | Inställningar för kamerabana, obligatoriska i recamera-läge. |
| `trajectory.theta` |  | array of number | yes |  |  | Horisontella rotationsvinklar per nyckelbild, mätta i grader. |
| `trajectory.phi` |  | array of number | yes |  |  | Vertikala rotationsvinklar per nyckelbild, mätta i grader. |
| `trajectory.radius` |  | array of number | yes |  |  | Faktorer per nyckelbild som skalar kameraavståndet. |
| `target_pose` |  | array of number \| null | no |  |  | Målkameraposition, obligatorisk om camera='target'. Ange en array ordnad som theta, sedan phi, radius, x och y. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Granskningen kan lättas genom att ange false, om anroparen är behörig. |

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.
