Run ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 video model through one REST endpoint.
Text-to-video, image-to-video with frame control, and multi-shot output, orchestrated next to Kling 3 and Veo 3.1 in the same workflow.

We spent 37+ hours benchmarking AI models for seedance api while building Wireflow, documenting which settings and configurations produce the best outputs. The workflow below reflects what we learned.
What the Seedance API Gives You
Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance's flagship video generation model. It handles text-to-video, image-to-video with first and last frame control, and reference-to-video, and it is known for strong motion fidelity, character consistency, and multi-shot narrative output in clips up to 15 seconds. Direct access runs through ByteDance's own cloud platforms, so most teams outside China reach the model through third-party API providers instead.
Most of those providers give you a raw single-model endpoint and stop there. Wireflow treats Seedance as one node in a larger pipeline: prototype the workflow on a visual canvas, chain Seedance with image generators, upscalers, and LLM prompt steps, then call the whole pipeline as a single REST endpoint with one Bearer token. You get the model plus the orchestration layer production apps actually need, including async execution, per-node cost reporting, and model swaps without code changes.
Seedance 2.0 Capabilities Through the API
Text-to-Video Generation
Generate cinematic clips from a text prompt, with control over aspect ratio, duration, and motion style.
Image-to-Video with Frame Control
Animate a still image, or pin first and last frames to control exactly where a shot starts and ends.
Character Consistency
Reference inputs keep faces, outfits, and visual style stable across shots, a known strength of Seedance 2.0.
Chain with Other Models
Pipe a Nano Banana 2 or Flux 2 Pro image straight into a video node, then upscale the result, all in one workflow.
Async Execution Pattern
Submit a request, receive an executionId, poll until COMPLETED. Predictable states built for production queues.
Per-Node Cost Reporting
Every execution response itemizes credit usage per node, so you can track exact cost per second of video.
More Than Just Seedance API
The Full Seedance 2.0 Model
Get ByteDance's strongest video model without managing Volcano Engine accounts. The Seedance 2.0 page covers the model's specs, strengths, and prompt behavior in detail.
Benchmark Against Kling 3
Run the same prompt through two video models in parallel branches and compare output before committing. Kling Video 3 sits one node swap away in the same workflow.
Built for Programmatic Pipelines
Raw model endpoints leave orchestration to you. Our comparison of the best programmatic video generation platforms shows why a workflow layer beats stitching providers together by hand.
Prototype Visually, Ship via REST
Design and test the pipeline on a canvas before writing integration code. The node-based video generation editor and the API execute the exact same workflow definition.
Pay Per Generation, Capped
Video API bills can spike fast at scale. Wireflow's usage-based AI API pricing charges per execution with spend limits, so a runaway queue cannot blow the budget.

FAQs
It is programmatic access to Seedance 2.0, ByteDance's video generation model. The API accepts text prompts, images, and reference material, and returns MP4 video with strong motion fidelity, character consistency, and multi-shot narrative support.
