Get Video Price
quote_videoGet 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: quoted_credits and would_deduct_credits are prices, and charged is always false. 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
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| mode | No | Video mode. Must be supported by the chosen model (see list_video_models). | |
| take | No | When the person asks for several of the same video ("4 of them"), number each call 1, 2, 3 ... so every take is made; the same take number twice in ten minutes is the same request and makes one video. Leave out for a single video. | |
| audio | No | Generate sound. ON by default on every video maker that can make sound (Seedance 2.5 and 2.0 in every mode, Kling Omni and Turbo, every WAN 3.0 option, MiniMax H3 Max). Set false for a silent clip. Models without sound ignore this. See list_video_models for the max seconds with and without sound. | |
| model | No | HeyGen Video ids: heygen-video-t2v, heygen-video-i2v, heygen-video-r2v (option ids heygen-text / heygen-image / heygen-reference; 5-15 s, 480p/768p/2K, sound on every clip). 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 option): 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, the image option takes image_url and an optional end_image_url, the reference option takes up to 10 reference_image_urls and 5 reference_video_urls. Higgsfield Genjutsu (option ids switch-cinema-480p / switch-cinema-720p, model switch-cinema-motion): remakes the clip in reference_video_urls with the person in 1 to 8 reference_image_urls, keeps the clip's motion, no duration setting, priced per second of the clip you attach (8 tokens at 480p, 17 at 720p). | |
| subject | No | The shot: subject + motion + scene (video needs motion language, e.g. "slow push-in"). Name the creator's staged Studio references as @Image1, @Video1 (the Video tab strip, then the image strip; see get_my_active_references) and they attach automatically; nothing attaches unless named. 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 | Catalog id from list_video_models. Native Seedance Draft: seedance-25-draft-text, seedance-25-draft-image, seedance-25-draft-reference (480p with audio). Make Full HD: seedance-25-draft-final with the completed draft job_id in video_url, no new creative settings. Quote then generate within 7 days. | |
| 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. | |
| as_written | No | True when the person wrote this prompt themselves and is using it as their prompt ("I'm doing the prompt"): it goes exactly as written, never enhanced. Leave it off when you write the prompt, or when the person asks you to make it or fix it: then SwitchApp Video Enhanced runs. | |
| resolution | No | HeyGen Video offers 480p, 768p and 2k (2k in 16:9 or 9:16 only, three times the 768p price). 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 option 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 | Optional, kept for apps that already use it: asset ids from upload_reference_asset. Not needed for faces; put every picture in reference_image_urls and Switch handles faces itself. Each id here runs the same protected face path (your own untouched original + identity verification) before the shot fires or is charged. | |
| 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. WAN 3.0 reference (wan30-reference) takes up to 5 audio files totaling 15 seconds, a song or a voice the subject performs to, addressed as Audio 1, Audio 2 in the prompt. | |
| 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. Pictures of real people go here too, as they are: Switch checks every picture and sends a face through the protected face path automatically, in its own place (same order, same @Image numbers); on Seedance, only an account without identity verification is refused. Higgsfield Genjutsu (switch-cinema-480p / switch-cinema-720p): 1 to 8 pictures of the person to put into the clip, required. | |
| 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). Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash (gemini-omni-reference, gemini-omni-image): up to 3 clips of up to 3 seconds each, used as character or object references (their sound is ignored), named @Video1, @Video2 in the prompt in list order; a longer clip is refused before any charge. Higgsfield Genjutsu (switch-cinema-480p / switch-cinema-720p): exactly one clip, the one whose motion is kept; the result is as long as this clip and its seconds are the whole price. | |
| character_orientation | No | Motion mode only: follow the character image (default) or the reference video. | |
| person_named_resolution | No | Switch Agent: true only when the person named this video's resolution themselves ("make it in 1080p"); a Seedance 2.5 video then starts at that resolution instead of its Draft. Leave it off otherwise: every Seedance 2.5 video starts as a Draft. |
