# Topaz Upscale Video Generative API

> Generatieve videoupscaler met selecteerbare Starlight-modellen, gericht op gecomprimeerde of gearchiveerde beelden

Verbetert en schaalt video op met diffusiegebaseerde Starlight-modellen, geselecteerd via `model`: Precise 2.6, HQ, Mini, Sharp of Fast 2. `upscale_factor` loopt van 1 tot 4 en `target_fps` (16-60) schakelt frame-interpolatie in wanneer dit afwijkt van de bron. `softness` (1-5) geldt alleen voor Starlight Precise 2.6. De uitvoercodec is H265 of, op verzoek, H264.

- Model id: `topaz/upscale/video/generative`
- Made by: Topaz Labs
- Category: Upscale
- Output: video
- Price per second of your input video: from $0.06 / second of input video (cheapest run $0.10 (100 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.ru/v1/run/topaz/upscale/video/generative`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.ru/v1/quote/topaz/upscale/video/generative`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/nl/developers/models/topaz/upscale/video/generative

## Pricing

Price: **from $0.06 / second of input video** (the lowest tier; the quote prices your exact input). Price per second of your input video: the input files are measured before the run (length, resolution, frame rate). The quote measures the same files and is exactly what the run charges.

Price by tier:

- Starlight Fast 2, up to 1080p: $0.06 / second of input video
- up to 1080p: $0.12 / second of input video
- Starlight Fast 2, up to 1080p, frame rate: $0.12 / second of input video
- Starlight Fast 2, 4K: $0.13 / second of input video
- Starlight Fast 2, above 4K: $0.2311 / second of input video
- up to 1080p, frame rate: $0.24 / second of input video
- 4K: $0.255 / second of input video
- Starlight Fast 2, 4K, frame rate: $0.26 / second of input video
- above 4K: $0.4533 / second of input video
- Starlight Fast 2, above 4K, frame rate: $0.4622 / second of input video
- 4K, frame rate: $0.51 / second of input video
- above 4K, frame rate: $0.9067 / second of input video

The full example input below costs $2.60 = 2600 API credits (10 s input video × $0.255 (4K), rounded up to the next $0.10).

Prices are the upstream price in USD, paid from the API balance in API credits (1000 API credits = 1 USD). `POST https://api.doitong.ru/v1/quote/topaz/upscale/video/generative` with the same JSON body returns the exact price for that input; the quote is exactly what a run charges. Invalid input is never charged and failed or canceled requests are refunded automatically.

## Input parameters

Send either the canonical name or the native field name (not both). Canonical names are the same across models.

| Parameter | Canonical name | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values / range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `video_url` | `video` | string (video URL) | yes |  |  | URL van de bronvideo voor opschaling. |
| `model` |  | enum (string) | no | `Starlight Precise 2.6` | `Starlight Precise 2.6`, `Starlight HQ`, `Starlight Mini`, `Starlight Sharp`, `Starlight Fast 2` | Selectie van het generatieve diffusie-model voor videoverbetering. Gebruik Starlight Mini voor archiefrestauratie, Starlight Sharp voor snelle restauratie met scherpe details, Starlight HQ voor maximale kwaliteit uit beelden met hoge resolutie en Starlight Precise 2.6 voor realistischere AI-gegenereerde video. Van de diffusie-opschalers is Starlight Fast 2 zowel het snelst als het goedkoopst. |
| `upscale_factor` |  | number | no | `2` | 1 – 4 | Multiplier voor videoschaling; een waarde van 2.0 verdubbelt beide framedimensies. |
| `target_fps` |  | integer \| null | no |  | 16 – 60 | Doel voor de uitvoerframesnelheid; een FPS die overeenkomt met de bron schakelt interpolatie uit, en alleen een andere FPS schakelt deze in. |
| `softness` |  | number \| null | no |  | 1 – 5 | Zachtheidsinstelling, alleen beschikbaar voor Starlight Precise 2.6, met de standaardwaarde wanneer deze wordt weggelaten. Kies 1 voor de scherpste uitvoer of 5 voor de zachtste. |
| `H264_output` |  | boolean | no | `false` |  | Bepaalt of de uitvoervideo H264-codering gebruikt in plaats van de standaard H265. |

File parameters (`video`) take a public `https://` URL, a `data:` URI up to 10 MB, or the `file_url` of an upload from `POST /files`.

## Example input

Required parameters only:

```json
{
  "video": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4"
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4"
}
```

## 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/topaz/upscale/video/generative?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"
  }'

# 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/topaz/upscale/video/generative?wait=20", {
  method: "POST",
  headers,
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4"
  }),
});
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",
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/topaz/upscale/video/generative", 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": "topaz/upscale/video/generative",
      "input": {
        "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4"
      },
      "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.
