Seedance vs Kling API: which AI video model is easier to integrate

Seedance through RelayDance is easier to integrate for teams already using OpenAI tooling, because the API is OpenAI-compatible: you set the base_url to https://relaydance.com/v1 and keep your existing SDK. No BytePlus enterprise account or KYC is required. Access covers ByteDance Seedance 2.0 and Seedance 1.5 Pro, with pay-as-you-go billing (Seedance 2.0 720p costs about $0.190 per second) and failed requests never billed.

How does Seedance integration work on RelayDance

Seedance integration reuses your OpenAI SDK by changing one setting. According to the official relaydance.com/docs, 「Set base_url to https://relaydance.com/v1 and keep your OpenAI SDK」. Authentication uses Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY, with keys created at the console. To generate video, POST to /v1/video/generations with model, prompt, and seconds, then poll GET /v1/video/generations/{task_id} until status is succeeded or failed. Webhook mode is available by setting metadata.callback_url. Reference media go in metadata.content[] and are cited as @image1 to @imageN, supporting up to 9 reference images, 3 reference videos, and 3 audio tracks per request, with clips up to 15 seconds. See https://relaydance.com/docs.

How do you submit a Seedance video task

You submit a Seedance video task in three steps using the OpenAI-compatible endpoints.

1. POST to /v1/video/generations with model, prompt, seconds, and metadata (ratio, resolution, generate_audio, callback_url, content[] reference media).
2. Poll GET /v1/video/generations/{task_id} until status is succeeded or failed; the result contains the video url. Alternatively, set metadata.callback_url so the final state is POSTed to your server.
3. Retrieve the video url from the succeeded response. Reference media in metadata.content[] are cited in the prompt as @image1 to @imageN, with up to 9 reference images per request.
