Feed it to a video model as a structure or motion reference. Three sizes: small is fastest, base adds edge detail, large draws the finest detail (hair, thin poles, distant people) and is the steadiest. Priced per second of the INPUT video, rounded up, 5 seconds minimum: small 20, base 30, large 40 credits/second (input up to 30 seconds, ≤100MB). Output is H.264 MP4. **Asynchronous.** Returns a job `id` (the video is not in this response). Poll [`GET /v1/depth-maps/{id}`](/api-reference/depth-maps/get-depth-map-job-status) until `status` is `succeeded` — the depth video's URL is in that response's `video_url`.

Generation is **asynchronous**: you create a job, then poll its status until it reaches a terminal state (`succeeded` / `failed`). You are charged in credits only on success — never for failures, timeouts, or content blocked before generation. **Authentication.** All requests require an API key sent as a bearer token: Authorization: Bearer bpx_live_xxx Create and manage keys from your BudgetPixel account dashboard. The developer API is available on **every paid plan**. On the **Free** plan, API keys can call the free library searches only: `GET /v1/stock/images`, `GET /v1/stock/sound-effects` and `GET /v1/stock/music`. **Pricing.** API usage is metered in credits at each model's published price (see `GET /v1/models`), and your plan's model discounts and active promotions apply to API charges exactly as they do on the web — `POST /v1/cost` quotes your discounted price. Pro and Ultra plans include a daily free-models allowance (a shared pool of free generations per day across qualified image models such as FLUX 2 Klein and Qwen-Image) that covers API requests too — the standard price applies once the day's pool is used. Other promotional free daily generations remain web/app-only. Failed generations are never charged. **Rate limits.** Requests are limited per minute: **600 requests/min per API key** and **1200 requests/min per source IP** (defaults; subject to tuning). Every response carries `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining`, and `X-RateLimit-Reset` (seconds until the window resets). Exceeding a limit returns HTTP `429` with a `Retry-After` header — wait that long before retrying. Rejected requests still count against the window, so a tight retry loop keeps you limited; back off instead. Generation jobs additionally have a per-plan concurrency cap (the same one as the web workshop), independent of these request limits. `POST /v1/uploads` also has a dedicated **60 uploads/min per account** cap (it's free/unmetered) on top of these limits. title: BudgetPixel API version: '2026-06-20' servers: - description: Production url: https://api.budgetpixel.com/v1 security: - ApiKeyAuth: [] tags: - description: Account and credit balance name: Account - description: Discover available models and pricing name: Models - description: Upload input media for image/video generation name: Uploads - description: Image job status name: Images - description: FLUX image models name: Black Forest Labs - description: SeeDream image models name: Bytedance - description: Video job status name: Videos - description: Kuaishou Kling video models name: Kling - description: SeeDance video models name: ByteDance (SeeDance) - description: Music and sound-effect job status name: Audios - description: Music generation models name: Music - description: Text-to-sound-effect models (priced per second) name: Sound Effects - description: >- Image-to-3D models — a picture in, a textured 3D model (GLB, plus FBX/USDZ/STL on Meshy) out name: 3D Models - description: Format conversion for images, video, and audio name: Conversions - description: Publish posts to your BudgetPixel feed and enter clan themes name: Social - description: Content moderation — NSFW rating and CSAM detection name: Moderation - description: Content classification — music genre detection name: Classification - description: >- Search the free stock image library — available on every plan, including Free name: Stock Images - description: >- Search the free sound effect library — available on every plan, including Free name: Stock Sound Effects - description: >- Search the free background music library — available on every plan, including Free name: Stock Music - description: >- Turn a video into a depth map video to guide other video models with its structure and motion name: Depth Maps paths: /depth-maps/video-depth-anything: post: tags: - Depth Maps summary: Make a depth map with Video Depth Anything description: >- Turns a video into a depth map video: near is white, far is black, steady from frame to frame, at the input's size (up to 1080p) and frame rate (up to 30 fps).
