doubao2api: video generator — what it does and what you need to run it

doubao2api is an open-source wrapper service that provides access to Doubao features through a REST API compatible with the OpenAI format. The authors describe it as a tool for free multimodal generation: chat, images, video, music, and file hosting for AI agents.

What it does

As described by the developer, the service supports several generation directions:

• text-to-video;
• text-to-image;
• text-to-music;
• multimodal chat;
• file hosting for AI agents.

The key feature is compatibility with the OpenAI API. This lets you connect doubao2api to existing tools and libraries that already work with this request and response format.

What you need to run it

The code is written in Python. The authors specify version 3.10 or newer. Running it requires a Python runtime of the appropriate version and installation of the project dependencies.

The code is distributed under the Apache-2.0 license. It permits use, modification, and distribution, including commercial use, provided that attribution information and the license text are preserved.

The repository is available at github.com/wangchuxiaoji-oss/doubao2api. Documentation and a description are hosted on the project website.

Who it suits

The tool will be useful to those who already work with the ecosystem of OpenAI-compatible APIs and want to connect Doubao generative features without rewriting client code. It suits AI agent developers who need a single interface for different types of generation — from text to video and music.

It is not suitable for those looking for a ready-made application with a graphical interface: doubao2api is a server-side REST service, and working with it requires programming skills and environment setup. It is also worth noting that the project is at an early stage — the latest release is version v0.1.0, and the repository was created recently.

doubao2api solves the task of unifying access to Doubao generative features through a familiar API format. The project is open source, written in Python, and aimed at developers who need programmatic integration without being tied to individual clients.
