Console & support β†’ Full API reference β†’
01What is Kino?

An independent API relay giving you instant, verification-free access to the official full-strength Seedance 2.0 lineup. One HTTPS endpoint, per-second billing, USD/crypto top-ups. Not affiliated with ByteDance or Volcano Engine.

02Is this really the official full model?

Yes β€” requests run on the genuine official Seedance 2.0. We never downgrade resolutions, swap in weaker models, or throttle quality. What you request is exactly what runs.

03How exactly am I billed?

Each successful video is billed by resolution and duration at the listed rates, computed from upstream usage β€” exactly the per-second rate, never rounded up, no per-call fee.

04Do failed tasks cost anything?

No. If the upstream reports failure, the full charge is refunded to your balance automatically and immediately.

05Does my balance expire?

Never. Top up once and spend whenever you like β€” no monthly burn-down, no inactivity fees.

06Do you store my videos or prompts?

No. Videos are delivered via upstream CDN signed URLs; download them promptly as links may expire. We keep only billing metadata, never your content.

07What are the rate limits?

Per-token burst limits apply, and the upstream rejects identical prompts repeated within a short window β€” vary the prompt or wait briefly. Need higher throughput? Contact us.
