Seedream 5.0 Pro

IMAGEFeaturedbytedance-seedream-5-pro

Seedream 5.0 Pro is the top tier of ByteDance’s Seedream 5.0 family. It keeps the reasoning-first generation and built-in online search of the 5.0 line and adds deeper, layer-style control. Prompts tied to current events, brands, or trending topics render with fresh, real-world context, and complex briefs are reasoned through before the image is composed. Its stills are clean enough to seed matching Seedance video.

Parameters

Path Parameters

workspace_id

required

Workspace Id

Id of the workspace that owns the resource.

string format: uuid

Id of the workspace that owns the resource.

Query Parameters

session_name

Session Name

Organize this run under a named session. A new session is created if none matches.

string

nullable

Organize this run under a named session. A new session is created if none matches.

Header Parameters

Idempotency-Key

string

<= 255 characters

Opaque key making this request safe to retry. The first request with a given key executes; a later request with the same key returns that first response with Idempotent-Replayed: true instead of executing again. The key covers the method, path, query, and body it was first used with; reusing it for a different request is rejected with 422. Replayable for 24 hours.
