How do you call this API?
1. Sign up on NamiFusion and create a key on the API Keys page (free credits on signup).
2. Submit a task with the cURL example below, passing your key as a Bearer token.
3. Poll the task status with the returned task_uuid and read the output URLs when completed.
# 1) Submit — returns { "task_uuid": "..." }
curl -X POST "https://www.namifusion.com/api/v1/marketplace/run/doubao/seedance-2-0-fast/image-to-video" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"input": {
"prompt": "A cinematic slow push-in on a lone astronaut standing on a windswept red desert at sunset, dust drifting across the ground as distant storm clouds roll over the horizon. The astronaut turns slightly toward a glowing research outpost in the distance, cape and suit details moving naturally in the wind. Subtle handheld camera motion, dramatic lighting, epic sci-fi mood, highly realistic motion, synchronized ambient wind and distant machinery sounds.",

}'
# 2) Poll until status is "completed", then read the output URLs
curl "https://www.namifusion.com/api/v1/marketplace/run/tasks/TASK_UUID" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"What parameters does it take?
prompt (Prompt): required
first_frame (Image): required
last_frame (Last Image): optional
aspect_ratio (Aspect Ratio): optional
resolution (Resolution): optional, default "720p"
duration (Duration): optional, default 5
generate_audio (Generate Audio): optional, default true
How do you write prompts for Seedance 2.0 Fast Image to Video?
1. Subject first: lead with the actor and action, then add environment, lighting and style ("an astronaut sprinting through a neon street in the rain, cinematic, shallow depth of field").
2. Concrete nouns beat stacked adjectives: "85mm portrait lens, golden-hour backlight" works far better than "very beautiful, ultra high quality".
3. Change one variable per iteration: pin the seed to reproduce a result, tweak a single phrase at a time so you know what actually moved the output.
4. State negatives positively: instead of "no blur", ask for "sharp focus, crisp details".
How much does it cost?
Pay-per-use in credits. A typical run costs about $1.00 ($1 = 100 credits); the exact price varies with parameters like resolution or duration, and the playground shows the exact quote before you submit.
