# Live Portrait API

> Anime une image de portrait avec les expressions d’une vidéo de pilotage, avec des réglages précis du visage

Transfère les mouvements du visage d’une vidéo de pilotage sur un portrait fixe pour produire une vidéo. En plus de `video_url` et `image_url`, le modèle propose des réglages numériques pour le clignement, les sourcils, le clin d’œil, les pupilles, les formes de la bouche (aaa, eee, woo), le sourire et la rotation de la tête en pitch, yaw et roll. Des options de recadrage et d’assemblage telles que `flag_do_crop` et `flag_pasteback` sont disponibles, et `dsize` définit la taille de sortie (512 par défaut).

- Model id: `live-portrait`
- Made by: Kuaishou
- Category: Lipsync & Avatars
- Output: video
- Charged by usage (up to $4.50 per run, typical $0.045; the rest of the hold is refunded): $0.00125 / second of processing time (cheapest run $0.045 (45 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.ru/v1/run/live-portrait`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.ru/v1/quote/live-portrait`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/fr-FR/developers/models/live-portrait

## Pricing

Price: **$0.00125 / second of processing time**. Charged by actual usage at $0.00125 / second of processing time: up to $4.50 per run (the quote gives the maximum for your input), the rest is refunded automatically after the run. A typical run costs $0.045.

The full example input below holds up to $4.50 = 4500 API credits (up to 3600 s of processing time × $0.00125) when it starts; a typical run costs $0.045 (45 API credits).

Prices are the upstream price in USD, paid from the API balance in API credits (1000 API credits = 1 USD). This model is charged by usage: `POST https://api.doitong.ru/v1/quote/live-portrait` with the same JSON body returns the most the run can cost for that input (`credits`, debited when the run starts); after the run you pay the usage the model reports and the rest is refunded automatically. An input whose maximum would exceed the per-run limit is refused with 422. Invalid input is never charged and failed or canceled requests are refunded automatically.

## Example input

Required parameters only:

```json
{
  "video": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
  "image": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/avatar/talking_avatar.jpg"
}
```

A fuller example:

```json

}
```

## Run it

Set `DOITONG_API_KEY` to a key from https://doitong.com/developers/dashboard#keys. `?wait=20` returns the finished request in the same call when it is ready within 20 seconds; otherwise poll `GET /requests/{id}` (it also accepts `?wait=`), or pass `webhook_url`.

### curl

```bash
# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
curl -X POST "https://api.doitong.ru/v1/run/live-portrait?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
    "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/avatar/talking_avatar.jpg"
  }'

# Still "queued" or "running"? Poll with the id from the response:
curl "https://api.doitong.ru/v1/requests/REQUEST_ID?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY"
```

### JavaScript

```javascript
const API = "https://api.doitong.ru/v1";
const headers = {
  "Authorization": "Bearer " + process.env.DOITONG_API_KEY,
  "Content-Type": "application/json",
};

// Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
let res = await fetch(API + "/run/live-portrait?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
    "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/avatar/talking_avatar.jpg"
  }),
});
let request = await res.json();
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(request.error.code + ": " + request.error.message);

// Not finished yet: long-poll until it is
while (request.status === "queued" || request.status === "running") {
  res = await fetch(API + "/requests/" + request.id + "?wait=20", { headers });
  request = await res.json();
}
if (request.status !== "succeeded") throw new Error(JSON.stringify(request.error));
console.log(request.outputs.map((o) => o.url), request.cost.credits + " API credits ($" + request.cost.usd + ")");
```

### Python

```python
import os
import requests

API = "https://api.doitong.ru/v1"
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + os.environ["DOITONG_API_KEY"]}

payload = {
    "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
    "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/avatar/talking_avatar.jpg",
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/live-portrait", params={"wait": 20}, json=payload, headers=headers)
request = r.json()
if not r.ok:
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"]["code"] + ": " + request["error"]["message"])

# Not finished yet: long-poll until it is
while request["status"] in ("queued", "running"):
    request = requests.get(API + "/requests/" + request["id"], params={"wait": 20}, headers=headers).json()
if request["status"] != "succeeded":
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"])
print([o["url"] for o in request["outputs"]], request["cost"]["credits"], "API credits", "$" + request["cost"]["usd"])
```

### MCP

The MCP server at `https://api.doitong.ru/v1/mcp` exposes the tools `search_models`, `get_model`, `quote`, `run`, `get_request`, `cancel_request`, `list_requests`, `create_upload` and `get_account`. A `run` call for this model:

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "run",
    "arguments": {
      "model_id": "live-portrait",
      "input": {
        "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
        "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/avatar/talking_avatar.jpg"
      },
      "wait_seconds": 20
    }
  }
}
```

## Response

Every call returns a request object. `status` is one of `queued`, `running`, `succeeded`, `failed`, `canceled`. `outputs` lists the generated files with URLs on our storage (kept forever, or 7 days with `?storage=temporary`; `storage` says which); `output` is the model's own result object with the same URLs.
