Get Video Price
quote_videoRead-onlyIdempotent
Get the current server price in Switch tokens before video generation. Uses the same billing calculator as submission and measures your stored reference clips. Pass one shot using the same model, mode, duration, resolution and references as generate_video. No creative prompt is required for a quote. Does not enhance, generate, or deduct tokens. Upload external video/audio references first. Returns quote_fingerprint for generate_video; a changed price is rejected before charging. Some routes may return QUOTE_ROUTE_UNAVAILABLE instead of inventing a price.
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| mode | No | Video mode. Must be supported by the chosen model (see list_video_models). | |
| audio | No | Generate audio. ON by default on Seedance 2.5 (text, image and reference), on Omni, and on every WAN 3.0 lane (text, image, reference); set false for a silent clip. Models without audio ignore this. See list_video_models for which models generate audio and the max seconds with vs without audio. | |
| model | No | Model id from list_video_models (e.g. kling-v3, seedance-2.0-t2v, wan-3.0-t2v, h3-max-t2v, topaz). Or prefer option_id from list_video_models. MiniMax H3 Max ids: h3-max-t2v, h3-max-i2v, h3-max-r2v (option ids h3max-text / h3max-image / h3max-reference). MiniMax H3 Max Turbo (preview, about twice as fast at half the price, no reference lane): h3-max-turbo-t2v, h3-max-turbo-i2v (option ids h3max-turbo-text / h3max-turbo-image). WAN 3.0 ids: wan-3.0-t2v, wan-3.0-i2v, wan-3.0-r2v (option ids wan30-text / wan30-image / wan30-reference): 720p or 1080p, any whole second 2 to 30, generated audio on by default, image lane takes image_url and an optional end_image_url, reference lane takes up to 10 reference_image_urls and 5 reference_video_urls. | |
| subject | No | The shot: subject + motion + scene (video needs motion language, e.g. "slow push-in"). WAN 3.0: refer to references by their place ("Image 1", "Video 1"), not by @tags; there is no negative-prompt field, so write exclusions inline as "Avoid: ...". MiniMax H3 Max: put spoken words in double quotes and the character says them lip-synced; name references by place (Image 1, Video 1, Audio 1). | |
| duration | No | Clip length in seconds, or "auto" to let the model choose. Seedance 2.5 does 4-30s (auto bills the 30s cap up front and refunds the unused seconds); Seedance 2.0 does 4-15s; Switch Video (WAN 2.7) does 5/10/15; WAN 3.0 takes any whole second from 2 to 30; Kling/Switch Video Edit cap at 10; MiniMax H3 Max takes whole seconds 5 to 15 (no auto) — see each model's durations in list_video_models. | |
| image_url | No | Required for image-to-video / frame-to-frame / motion. Accepts EITHER a Switch asset id (from show_media / list_my_assets / upload_media) OR a public https url. An asset id is resolved server-side, so just pass the id you have — no need to fetch a url first. | |
| option_id | No | Optional catalog id from list_video_models (e.g. "kling-image"); use instead of model+mode. | |
| task_type | No | Seedance 2.5 reference mode only: declare what you are doing with the reference clip so the size and length rules are checked immediately instead of failing a minute in. auto = a new take from the references (default), edit = change something inside the clip, extend = continue the clip. Editing and extension inherit the source clip's size, and editing also inherits its length. | |
| video_url | No | Required for video-edit and upscale (the source clip). Accepts one of YOUR Switch videos — a job id from list_my_videos / get_video_status, or its download_url / view_url — or any publicly downloadable https URL. Switch resolves its own videos for you; no need to scrape a page for the file. | |
| resolution | No | Output resolution. Defaults to 1080p where the model supports it. 720p is cheaper and faster. 480p is the cheapest. Seedance 2.5 offers 480p, 720p and 1080p on every mode (no 2K/4K). 4K is only on Kling v3 text/image and Kling Omni; Seedance text-to-video is 720p only. MiniMax H3 Max offers 480p and 768p only (its reference lane is 768p only). Each model lists its available resolutions in list_video_models. | |
| aspect_ratio | No | e.g. 9:16, 16:9, 1:1. Must be allowed for the model (see list_video_models). | |
| end_image_url | No | End frame for frame-to-frame mode. | |
| quoted_credits | No | Exact quoted_credits returned by quote_video; used with quote_fingerprint. | |
| quote_fingerprint | No | From quote_video. Pass with quoted_credits to reject a changed quote before charging. | |
| face_reference_ids | No | Face reference asset ids from upload_reference_asset (frame_type "face") — the ONLY way to use a face/likeness reference in video. Each id is verified server-side (your own untouched original + identity verification) before the shot fires or is charged; URLs and generic uploads here are rejected. | |
| enhancement_receipt | No | Receipt from enhance_video_prompt. Pass its enhanced_prompt as subject with the same model, settings and references. Prevents duplicate enhancement. Changed/expired receipts fail before generation. | |
| reference_audio_urls | No | Seedance reference/omni only: up to 3 reference audio files to drive synthesized audio. Requires at least one reference image or video. MiniMax H3 Max reference (h3max-reference) also takes up to 3 audio files as conditioning (voice/sound guidance); it generates native audio on every clip regardless. | |
| reference_image_urls | No | GENERIC reference images (products, scenery, outfits, style). Each entry accepts EITHER a Switch asset id (from show_media / list_my_assets / upload_media / get_my_active_references) OR a public https url — asset ids are resolved server-side. Seedance reference/omni accepts up to 9; Kling Omni up to 7. WAN 3.0 reference (option wan30-reference, model wan-3.0-r2v) accepts up to 10; name each one by its place in the prompt ("the woman in Image 1", "the jacket from Image 3"). For Seedance, at least one image or video reference is required. For a person's face/likeness use face_reference_ids instead. | |
| reference_video_urls | No | Seedance reference/omni and WAN 3.0 reference. WAN 3.0 (wan30-reference): up to 5 clips, 15 seconds combined, each at least 16 fps, addressed in the prompt as "Video 1", "Video 2"; the audio inside the clips is not kept. Seedance: reference video clips for motion/style guidance — up to 10 on Seedance 2.5 (clips 2-30s, 30s combined), up to 3 on Seedance 2.0 (see list_video_models for each model's caps). A Seedance video ref can satisfy the required visual anchor. Per the BytePlus guide a video reference is a subject reference: it can carry appearance, identity, motion AND voice timbre. State in the prompt what each asset provides. MiniMax H3 Max reference (h3max-reference): up to 3 clips, each second of reference clip is billed on top of the output seconds (see its notes). | |
| character_orientation | No | Motion mode only: follow the character image (default) or the reference video. |
