No statement found on whether API inputs train models, and the privacy policy needs a browser.\n\n**Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk.** The video task API documents limits, error codes and per-model parameters in detail, with callbacks, a filterable task list and API keys restrictable by model and IP address. No status page, OpenAPI file or free video quota was found, the newest models need a USD 30 balance, and BytePlus model services are not sold in the United States.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### MiniMax Video API\n\n1. Use POST /v2/video_generation for H3 and poll GET /v2/query/video_generation/{task_id}. Tasks stay queryable for 7 days\n2. Set `ratio` for text-to-video. `adaptive` isn't allowed there\n3. Pass `callback_url` to skip polling. Your endpoint must echo the `challenge` within 3 seconds\n4. A 402 means the balance is empty and a 422 means moderation blocked the content. Don't retry either unchanged\n\n### Seedance on BytePlus ModelArk\n\n1. POST to `/api/v3/contents/generations/tasks` on ark.ap-southeast.bytepluses.com, then poll GET `/contents/generations/tasks/{id}` or pass `callback_url`. Callbacks need an answer within 5 seconds\n2. Download the result at once. Video URLs last 24 hours, task records 7 days, and a Seedance 2.5 URL allows 100 downloads\n3. Pass `resolution`, `ratio` and `duration` in the request body. Parameters appended to the prompt as `--rs` or `--dur` are weakly validated and may be ignored\n4. On Seedance 2.5 set `omni_reference_task_type` to `edit` or `extend` so constraint errors arrive at submission. With `auto` they arrive after the task leaves the queue\n5.
