How it works

Get Started in 3 Steps

  1. Choose a model ID

    Select a public catalog model ID and review its endpoint and current starting price.

  2. Configure RunAPI

    Set RUNAPI_API_KEY before making the endpoint request.

  3. Verify the result

    For asynchronous endpoints, poll the same endpoint until the Task reaches a terminal status.

What to Build with OpenClaw + Seedance

  • Dialogue-heavy shorts

    Generate short clips with speaking characters, where Seedance handles lip sync across several speakers for conversational scenes.

  • Short-form content for TikTok and Reels

    Produce platform-ready vertical video at the exact duration you need.

  • Product demonstration prototypes

    Create product demo clips with narration synced to the visual action, using reference audio to align motion with a voiceover.

Why Use Seedance Through RunAPI + OpenClaw

  • 7 variants, one API key

    Use one RunAPI connection to choose among the live model variants without changing your integration.

  • Clear usage pricing

    See current catalog pricing before you send a request, with no subscription or minimum spend required.

  • Automatic task workflows

    Submit, poll, and collect asynchronous results through a consistent task workflow without writing manual polling code.

OpenClaw + Seedance Questions

Can I use Seedance in OpenClaw?

Yes. Configure RunAPI as a provider in OpenClaw, then call the Seedance endpoint shown on this page. The same API key handles chat and video generation.

Can I write Seedance prompts in English?

Yes. Seedance accepts English and Chinese prompts regardless of the language spoken in the generated video.

Can Seedance generate video from an image?

Yes. Provide an image as the opening frame along with a text prompt, and Seedance generates motion from there. The versions section lists which inputs each variant accepts.

Which model ID should I use?

Choose a public model ID from the version table. Each ID exposes the endpoints shown for that version.

Does this guide configure a chat model?

No. This Model Line uses the endpoint workflow shown here and is not presented as an agent chat model.
