# Run Seedance 2.0 (seedance-20)

`POST /models/seedance-20`

## Request

- URL: `https://api.hedra.com/v3/models/seedance-20`
- Auth: one of:
  - API key in header `Authorization`
  - HTTP bearer

Reference-driven video up to 4K with native audio — hold a look across shots with reference images, clips, or audio.

Submits an asynchronous job and returns `202` with a job id. Fetch the result at `GET /v3/jobs/{job_id}` — each item in its `outputs[]` follows the `OutputItem` schema — or track progress via `GET /v3/jobs/{job_id}/status` / the SSE stream at `GET /v3/jobs/{job_id}/stream`.

## Response `202`

Accepted. The job runs asynchronously; poll `status_url` / `result_url` from the ack.

- SubmitResponse
  - `job_id` string, required: This job's id — server-issued, and opaque.
  - `model` string, required: The resolved model id this job runs on.
  - `status` 'IN_QUEUE' | 'IN_PROGRESS' | 'COMPLETED' | 'FAILED', required: The four states a job can be in.
  - `status_url` string, required: Path of this job's status monitor: poll GET /v3/jobs/{job_id}/status for status, progress, and the estimated completion time.
  - `result_url` string, required: Path of the job resource itself: GET /v3/jobs/{job_id} returns the result envelope, including the outputs once it completes. Also the value of this response's `Location` header.
  - `estimated_completion_at` string, date-time, nullable: ISO-8601 instant this job is estimated to finish, as of this response. Null when no estimate is available yet, and when the job has already finished. The estimate can change while the job runs: poll `GET /v3/jobs/{job_id}/status` for the current one.
