# Sam 3 · Video API

> Segmenterar och spårar objekt i en video från text-, punkt- eller boxpromptar och returnerar en maskad video

Detekterar och spårar objekt genom en video som tillhandahålls som `video_url`. Ange målen i `prompt`, separerade med kommatecken, eller använd `point_prompts` och `box_prompts`. `detection_threshold` varierar från 0.1 till 1, och `apply_mask` styr om masken ritas på videon. Utdata är mp4 eller webm samt en zip-fil med överlagrade begränsningsrutor för varje bildruta.

- Model id: `sam-3/video`
- Made by: Meta
- Category: Video to Video
- Output: video
- Price per 16 frames of your input video: $0.005 / 16 frames of input video (cheapest run $0.005 (5 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.ru/v1/run/sam-3/video`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.ru/v1/quote/sam-3/video`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/sv/developers/models/sam-3/video

## Pricing

Price: **$0.005 / 16 frames of input video**. Price per 16 frames 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.

The full example input below costs $0.095 = 95 API credits (19 × 16 frames input video × $0.005).

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/sam-3/video` 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 |  |  | Video-URL för segmentering. |
| `prompt` |  | string | no | `` |  | Segmenteringsprompt som stöder flera spårade objekt genom kommaseparerade beskrivningar, till exempel 'person, cloth'. |
| `text_prompt` |  | string \| null | no |  |  | [DEPRECATED] Äldre indata som behålls för bakåtkompatibilitet; använd 'prompt' i stället. |
| `point_prompts` |  | array of object {x, y, label, object_id} | no | `[]` |  | Samling punktbaserade prompter. |
| `point_prompts[].x` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Promptens position längs X-axeln. |
| `point_prompts[].y` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Promptens position längs Y-axeln. |
| `point_prompts[].label` |  | enum (integer) \| null | no |  | `0`, `1` | Etikett för förgrund/bakgrund: 1 anger förgrund; 0 anger bakgrund. |
| `point_prompts[].object_id` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Valfri identifierare som grupperar prompter som förfinar ett enda objekt. Om text också anges som prompt avgör denna identifierare vilket upptäckt objekt punkterna förfinar. |
| `box_prompts` |  | array of object {x_min, y_min, x_max, y_max, object_id} | no | `[]` |  | Boxprompter angivna som koordinattuplar (x_min, y_min, x_max, y_max). |
| `box_prompts[].x_min` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Minsta x-koordinat för rutan. |
| `box_prompts[].y_min` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Minsta y-koordinat för rutan. |
| `box_prompts[].x_max` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Maximal X-koordinat för boxen. |
| `box_prompts[].y_max` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Maximal Y-koordinat för boxen. |
| `box_prompts[].object_id` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | Valfri identifierare som grupperar boxar som förfinar ett enda objekt. |
| `apply_mask` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Om maskning ska tillämpas på videon. |
| `video_output_type` |  | enum (string) | no | `X264 (.mp4)` | `X264 (.mp4)`, `VP9 (.webm)` | Utdataformat för den resulterande videon. |
| `detection_threshold` |  | number | no | `0.5` | 0.1 – 1 | Gränsvärde för detektionskonfidens, där ett lägre värde ökar antalet detektioner på bekostnad av precisionen; intervallet är 0.0–1.0. |

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/sam-3/video?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/sam-3/video?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/sam-3/video", 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": "sam-3/video",
      "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.
