Seedance 2.0 Mini API Is Now Available on Poyo.ai

We're excited to announce that Seedance 2.0 Mini API is now live on Poyo.ai. ByteDance's cost-efficient Seedance 2.0 tier is built for fast, high-volume short video generation — text-to-video, image-to-video, and multimodal reference workflows — at 20% below the official baseline.

What Is Seedance 2.0 Mini

Seedance 2.0 Mini is the lower-cost member of ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 video family. It keeps the Seedance camera language and motion quality, but targets 480p and 720p short clips so you can iterate more, test more hooks, and spend production budget only after the direction is clear. Key capabilities include:

• Text-to-video — Turn a compact prompt into a short cinematic clip
• Image-to-video — Animate a first-frame, last-frame, or image reference while preserving composition and style
• Reference-to-video — Guide motion, rhythm, and styling with image, video, and audio references in one request
• Optional audio — Toggle generate_audio for synced sound, or leave it off for cheaper draft passes
• Flexible output — 480p and 720p, 4 to 15 second durations, auto default aspect ratio plus 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 21:9, 4:3, and 3:4

Pricing

Seedance 2.0 Mini is billed per second of generated video, and Poyo prices are 20% lower than the official baseline.

Credits never expire, and there's no subscription requirement. For the highest resolution (1080p and 4K) or premium final renders, step up to Seedance 2 — both tiers accept the same text, image, video, and audio reference inputs.

API Usage

Submit a Generation

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.poyo.ai/api/generate/submit \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "model": "seedance-2-mini",
    "input": {
      "prompt": "A premium black smartwatch on a wet reflective surface. The camera slowly orbits as water droplets slide across the glass. Cinematic studio lighting, luxury tech ad style, no text.",
      "resolution": "720p",
      "duration": 5,
      "aspect_ratio": "9:16",
      "generate_audio": false
    }
  }'

Response:

{
  "code": 200,
  "data": {
    "task_id": "seedance-mini-xxxxxxxx",
    "status": "not_started",
    "created_time": "2026-06-25T10:00:00Z"
  }
}

Poll for Results

curl --request GET \
  --url https://api.poyo.ai/api/generate/status/seedance-mini-xxxxxxxx \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'

When the task is complete, status becomes "finished" and files[0].file_url contains the downloadable MP4 video URL. You can also pass a callback_url to receive the result via webhook instead of polling.

Image-to-Video

Use image_urls to set the first frame, then animate it with a prompt:

{
  "model": "seedance-2-mini",
  "input": {
    "prompt": "The subject slowly turns toward the camera with a soft smile. Warm afternoon light, shallow depth of field.",
    "image_urls": ["https://your-image-url.jpg"],
    "duration": 5
  }
}

Note: first/last frame inputs (image_urls) and reference inputs (reference_image_urls) should not be combined in the same request. Use one approach per generation.

Parameter Reference

Best Use Cases
