Core concepts

Pricing & credits

The API spends the same Orior credits as the app, from the same balance. Every operation costs 2× its app price, rounded up.

How charging works

Before you run: GET /models lists prices; POST /quote prices an exact request for free.
When accepted: the full price is reserved from the balance and returned as credits on the generation.
If it fails or is cancelled: the reserved credits come back automatically and appear as refunded_credits.
Credits: buy them with a plan or credit packs in the dashboard. Subscription credits are spent before purchased credits, exactly as in the app.

Prices below are generated from the live price table. The multiplier is currently 2×; changes are announced at least 14 days ahead (see the API terms).

Images

Resolution	API credits	App credits
1K	2	1
2K	2	1
4K	3	2

4K is discounted to 1.5× the 1K/2K price. Price does not depend on aspect ratio, references, characters or products.

Videos

Priced by model, duration and resolution (and audio for Kling 3.0). A selection — the complete grid for every model is on Models:

Model	Setting	API credits

Veo 3	8 s	30
Kling 3.0 Motion Control	per second of motion_video	4 + 1.8/s (720p) · 2.6/s (1080p), rounded up

First frames

Most video models animate a starting image. When you give a character or only a prompt, Orior generates that frame first:

You provide	First frame	Added credits
`start_frame` only	Used as-is	0
`start_frame` + character or references	Composed from both	2
`character_id` / `character_image` or only a prompt	Generated	2
`character_id` + `product_id`	Product-in-hand frame	2
Motion Control with a character	Character frame (+ your start frame)	2 (4 with start_frame)

Characters & products

Operation	API credits
Create a character from photos	Free

Uploads, reads, quotes, webhooks	Free

Platforms that fail to publish are refunded. Connecting, listing and disconnecting accounts is free. See Social publishing for how the account fee is collected.

Refunds

Failed generations: full refund, automatically.
Cancelled generations (while queued): full refund.
Blocked prompts: rejected before charging.
Successful generations are not refunded, including when you delete them later.
Refunds return to the purchased balance and are reflected in GET /usage and the key’s monthly limit.

Controlling spend

Set a monthly credit limit per key in the dashboard (402 SPEND_CAP_REACHED when reached).
Subscribe to the credits.low webhook (sent once a day when the balance drops below 20).
Read GET /account for the balance and GET /usage for spend by operation and key.
Enable auto top-up in the dashboard to avoid INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS in production.

Examples

POST /quote — Seedance 2.5, 8 s 720p, with a character

{
  "object": "quote",
  "type": "video",
  "model": "seedance-2.5",
  "credits": 46,
  "app_credits": 23
}

44 for the video plus 2 for the generated first frame. Posting the result to Instagram and TikTok adds 2.
