Seedance API: Official Docs and Access on This Site
Looking for a Seedance API? Learn the difference between the official provider API and this site’s web generator, with links to current model documentation.

Is there a Seedance API?
Yes. Volcengine's official Seedance 2.5 guide and Seedance 2.0 guide describe how to call the provider's video generation API. Check the provider's current access requirements, model availability, request parameters, limits, and billing before building an integration. Those documents and credentials belong to Volcengine, not to this site.
SeedanceAI at seedanceai.im is an independent third-party web tool. It currently offers a browser-based generator, but does not offer a supported public video generation API or developer API keys. Its private browser requests require a signed-in session and are not a developer interface. There is no announced date for an API from this site.
Which route fits your project?
| Your goal | Where to start | Account and billing |
|---|---|---|
| Automate generation from your own application | Official Seedance 2.5 API guide or 2.0 API guide | Follow the provider's access and billing rules. |
| Generate a clip in this site's interface | Open the web generator | Sign in here, review the quote, and use this site's credits. |
| Compare the models before choosing | Read the Seedance 2.5 guide, Seedance 2.0 guide, and model overview | The pricing page covers this site's web credits only. |
Can I use this site's credits with the official API?
No. This site's credit balance is for its web generator. It is not a Volcengine API credential or a transferable balance. Likewise, a provider API key does not sign you into this site's workspace. For an automated workflow, use the provider's own documentation and account setup.
If you only need to try a prompt manually, start in the web generator. It displays a credit quote before you submit, and the Seedance pricing guide explains how its model, duration, resolution, batch size, and reference media affect that quote. The prompt examples are templates, not measured API results.
