CCAPI Developer Platform

Doubao Seedream API

Integrate Doubao Seedream through CCAPI’s unified image API platform.

What Doubao Seedream does

Access Seedream 5.0 Pro, 5.0, and 4.5 through one Seedream-native endpoint for text-to-image, multi-reference editing, image sequences, and up to 4K output.

  • 5.0 Pro: location-aware single-image craft — For commercial single images that demand tighter composition, subject consistency, and localized edits across multiple references.
  • 5.0 / 4.5: from one image to a visual set — Create coherent image sets for social campaigns, product stories, and storyboards, with up to 4K output on 4.5.

Doubao Seedream API features

  • Official native protocol — Keep the native path, parameters and response shape; replace only the API host and key.
  • Multi-reference editing — Use one or more images to anchor people, products, style, and composition.
  • Sequences and web grounding — Seedream 5.0 supports image sequences and optional web-search tooling through native parameters.
  • Transparent dynamic billing — Bill successful outputs, with Pro pixel tiers and extra references settled from the actual response.

What people build with Doubao Seedream

  • Brand visual systems — Ground campaigns in multiple brand assets to preserve style, materials, and subject identity.
  • Product image refinement — Control product placement, background, lighting, and staging for commerce and advertising.
  • Sequential stories and social sets — Use 5.0 to create an image set with a consistent theme and visual rhythm.

Getting started with the Doubao Seedream API

The endpoint is OpenAI-compatible, so existing client code usually needs only a base URL and a model name.

  • Step 1: Create an API token — Create a token that can access the seedream-Official group.
  • Step 2: Choose a model — Use 5.0 Pro for precision, 5.0 for sequences and search, or 4.5 for general 4K work.
  • Step 3: Send a native request — POST model, prompt, and optional image inputs to /api/v3/images/generations.
  • Step 4: Read results and usage — Read synchronous image results from data and reconcile successful outputs through usage.

Why choose CCAPI for Doubao Seedream

  • Keep your official integration model — Reuse the native request body; migration is limited to the host and credential.
  • Manage three models together — One token, usage log, and billing basis across the Seedream family.
  • Transparent pricing — The actual per-image price and its dynamic tiers are published, so cost is known before the call.

The same API key and base URL reach every model below. Moving from Doubao Seedream to any of them means changing the model name in the request body.

Frequently asked questions

Which Seedream model should I choose?

Choose 5.0 Pro for precise single images, multiple references, or localized edits; 5.0 for sequences or web search; and 4.5 for mature general generation with up to 4K output.

Is the endpoint compatible with the native Seedream format?

Yes. Use the same /api/v3/images/generations path and native request shape, changing only the host and API key.

Does Seedream 5.0 Pro support sequences or streaming?

No. 5.0 Pro is currently single-image only and does not support web search; use 5.0 or 4.5 for image-sequence workflows.

How is billing settled?

5.0 and 4.5 bill actual successful outputs. 5.0 Pro uses output tiers split at 2.61 MP and charges input references after the first separately.
