# Seedance 2.0 API: add AI video to your own app

> The Seedance 2.0 API lets developers generate videos with ByteDance's Seedance models from code. Seedance Studio is a no-code web app; for API access the same models are available through Aiduct (aiduct.ai) as seedance-2.0 at $0.486, seedance-2.0-fast at $0.39 and seedance-2.5 at $0.486 per second, through an asynchronous /v1/videos/generations endpoint.

Seedance Studio is a web app. If you need Seedance inside your own product, use a video API; here is what to know first.

## What the Seedance API is good for

- **Content at scale**: Generate ad variants, social clips or catalog videos in batches.
- **Automations**: Trigger videos from your CMS, store or workflow tools.

## How to start with the Seedance 2.0 API

1. **Create an API key**: Sign up at aiduct.ai and create a key in the console.
2. **Submit a video job**: Send the prompt, model ID, duration and optional first frame to /v1/videos/generations.
3. **Poll and download**: Check the job status and store the finished MP4.

## API or web app?

Choose the API when videos must be created inside your own software, in batches or automatically. Choose Seedance Studio when a person makes the videos: there is nothing to build, you can iterate on prompts by hand, and signing up is free.
