Python Wrapper

This repository now includes a minimal Python wrapper for the CyberBara Seedance 2.5 API.

Install from PyPI:

pip install seedance25-api

Or install locally for development:

pip install -e .

Basic usage:

from seedance25_api import Seedance25Client

client = Seedance25Client("YOUR_API_KEY")

created = client.text_to_video(
    "A cinematic drone shot over a misty mountain village at sunrise.",
    duration="10",
    aspect_ratio="16:9",
)

task = client.wait_for_task(created["task_id"])
print(task["output"]["videos"])

Image-to-video with uploaded reference:

from seedance25_api import Seedance25Client

client = Seedance25Client("YOUR_API_KEY")
upload = client.upload_images(["./reference.png"])

created = client.image_to_video(
    "The subject turns slowly toward camera, subtle smile, natural skin texture.",
    image_urls=upload["urls"],
    duration="10",
    aspect_ratio="9:16",
)

task = client.wait_for_task(created["task_id"])
print(task["output"]["videos"])

Wrapper methods:

• models()
• quote_video()
• text_to_video()
• image_to_video()
• upload_images()
• upload_videos()
• get_task()
• wait_for_task()

See runnable examples in examples/text_to_video.py and examples/image_to_video.py.

API Examples

1. List available video models

curl -X GET 'https://cyberbara.com/api/v1/models?media_type=video' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>'

Use this first to confirm the currently exposed model names and supported scenes on CyberBara.

---

2. Upload a reference image

curl -X POST 'https://cyberbara.com/api/v1/uploads/images' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>' \
  -F 'files=@./reference.png'

The response returns a reusable uploaded URL for later generation requests.

---

3. Create a text-to-video task

curl -X POST 'https://cyberbara.com/api/v1/videos/generations' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "model": "seedance-2.5",
    "scene": "text-to-video",
    "prompt": "A cinematic drone shot over a misty mountain village at sunrise, realistic lighting, smooth camera motion, atmospheric depth.",
    "options": {
      "duration": "10",
      "aspect_ratio": "16:9"
    }
  }'

Use this route when you want pure prompt-driven generation.

---

4. Create an image-to-video task

curl -X POST 'https://cyberbara.com/api/v1/videos/generations' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "model": "seedance-2.5",
    "scene": "image-to-video",
    "prompt": "The woman turns slowly toward camera, soft wind in her hair, natural eye movement, subtle smile, realistic skin texture, cinematic portrait motion.",
    "options": {
      "duration": "10",
      "aspect_ratio": "9:16",
      "image_input": [
        "https://your-uploaded-image-url-here"
      ]
    }
  }'

This is the core workflow for portrait animation, character consistency, and creator-facing short video generation.

---

5. Check task status

curl -X GET 'https://cyberbara.com/api/v1/tasks/<TASK_ID>' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>'

Poll until the task reaches a final state, then read the output URL from the response.

---

6. Quote credits before generation

curl -X POST 'https://cyberbara.com/api/v1/credits/quote' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "model": "seedance-2.5",
    "media_type": "video",
    "scene": "image-to-video",
    "prompt": "Portrait motion test",
    "options": {
      "duration": "10",
      "aspect_ratio": "9:16"
    }
  }'

Useful when you want budget visibility before launching larger runs.

Python Example

from seedance25_api import Seedance25Client

client = Seedance25Client("YOUR_API_KEY")

created = client.text_to_video(
    "A high-end perfume commercial, glossy lighting, slow motion liquid splash, premium cinematic style.",
    duration="10",
    aspect_ratio="16:9",
)

task = client.wait_for_task(created["task_id"])
print(task["output"]["videos"])

Real Face Workflows

One of the biggest reasons creators look for a Seedance 2.5 API is not generic video generation. It is reference-driven character work.

Common use cases:

• portrait-to-video
• creator avatar clips
• fashion and beauty content
• UGC-style ads
• short drama character tests
• image-led commercial videos

Real production work needs more than a prompt box. Teams usually need:

• stable reference handling
• asset upload and reuse
• cleaner image-to-video pipelines
• easier handoff between prompt testing and API execution

That is why this repo also points to the broader CyberBara Seedance ecosystem below.

---

Best Practices

• Use GET /api/v1/models first to confirm current model exposure
• Upload reference assets once, then reuse returned URLs
• Keep prompts concrete about camera motion, subject motion, lighting, and shot rhythm
• For portrait workflows, use clean high-resolution references
• Quote credits before large batch runs
• Poll task status asynchronously instead of blocking your app flow
