# seedance-2.5 API client patterns
A focused Argolink guide for seedance-2.5 requests. The public examples use only Argolink hosts and environment-based credentials.
[Open the Argolink model page →](https://argolink.io/gh-seedance-2-5-api-python)
## What is covered
- a single Argolink request lifecycle;
- model fields, media references, and validation boundaries;
- bounded polling, terminal errors, and safe retries;
- cURL examples that can be adapted to a typed client.
See [`docs/video-api-contract.md`](./docs/video-api-contract.md) for the complete submit → poll → download flow.
## Public contract boundary
This repository is an integration aid, not an authority for prices or availability. Read the linked Argolink model or API page immediately before deployment. Runtime access uses `ARGOLINK_API_KEY`; do not copy a key into source, issues, screenshots, or generated artifacts.
