SeeDream Tasks API Integration and Usage

The main function of the SeeDream Tasks API is to query the execution status of tasks by inputting the task ID generated by the SeeDream Images Generation API.

This document will provide detailed integration instructions for the SeeDream Tasks API, helping you easily integrate and fully utilize the powerful features of this API. With the SeeDream Tasks API, you can easily query the execution status of tasks from the SeeDream Images Generation API.

Application Process

To use SeeDream Images Generation API, first open the Ace Data Cloud Console and copy your API Token.

If you are not logged in, you will be redirected to sign in and brought back to this page automatically.

A single API Token works across every service on the platform — no need to subscribe per service. New accounts receive free starter credit; when it runs low you can top up your shared balance in the console.

Request Example

The SeeDream Tasks API can be used to query the results of the SeeDream Images Generation API. For information on how to use the SeeDream Images Generation API, please refer to the documentation SeeDream Images Generation API.

We will take a task ID returned by the SeeDream Images Generation API as an example to demonstrate how to use this API. Suppose we have a task ID: 20068983-0cc9-4c6a-aeb6-9c6a3c668be0, we will demonstrate how to pass in a task ID.

Setting Request Headers and Request Body

Request Headers include:

  • accept: Specifies that the response should be in JSON format, set to application/json.
  • authorization: The key to call the API, which can be selected directly after application.

Request Body includes:

  • id: The uploaded task ID.
  • action: The operation method for the task.

Set as shown in the image below:

Code Example

It can be seen that various language codes have been automatically generated on the right side of the page, as shown in the image below:

Some code examples are as follows:

CURL

curl -X POST 'https://api.acedata.cloud/seedream/tasks' \
-H 'accept: application/json' \
-H 'authorization: Bearer {token}' \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{
  "id": "a6e0d456-189b-4c78-9232-2fe72166ab39",
  "action": "retrieve"
}'

Response Example

After a successful request, the API will return the details of the task here. For example:

{
  "success": true,
  "task_id": "84d1544a-9043-4dde-a98b-e889dacd75f6",
  "trace_id": "176acf03-7ca7-4fc6-85db-e3724d4f59eb",
  "data": [
    {
      "prompt": "a white siamese cat",
      "size": "2048x2048",
      "image_url": "https://platform.cdn.acedata.cloud/seedream/6e5f9085-cc4a-4801-b77b-31550129ff19.jpg"
    }
  ]
}

The returned result contains multiple fields, described as follows:

  • success: The status of the video generation task at this time.
  • task_id: The ID of the video generation task at this time.
  • trace_id: The tracking ID of the video generation at this time.
  • data: The result list of the image generation task at this time.
    • image_url: The link to the image generation task at this time.
    • prompt: The prompt word.
    • size: The pixel size of the generated image.

Batch Query Operation

This is for querying the details of multiple task IDs, and unlike the above, the action needs to be selected as retrieve_batch.

Request Body includes:

  • ids: The array of uploaded task IDs.
  • action: The operation method for the task.

Set as shown in the image below:
