The route selects an avatar or presenter ID, not a public immutable weight/checkpoint selector.
Access
POST https://api.d-id.com/animations; use the returned job ID to poll status or receive a webhook, then retrieve the result URL. API credentials and eligible account access required.
Regions
No single public-cloud processing region or regional inference guarantee established for this route.
Data retention
Provider privacy policy describes commercially reasonable deletion of non-persisted API applicative data within 24 hours, Agents within 72 hours, and Insights within 14 days. Persisted assets, knowledge documents and Studio uploads have different lifetimes. Support/operational access is allowed; this is not default zero retention.Source for Data retention (opens in a new tab)
persistentData
persist=true assets, knowledge documents and Studio uploads persist until erased. While awaiting processing/deletion, applicative data is not accessed for model training; authorized support/operational access remains possible.Source for persistentData (opens in a new tab)
ownStorage
Provider policy permits signed S3 input/output URLs; when the result is directed to customer S3, the result is not stored in D-ID’s system. This is not a blanket promise of no processing or no metadata retention.Source for ownStorage (opens in a new tab)
faces
With stitching enabled, max_animated_faces accepts 1–5 (default 5). The optional face square chooses a face; otherwise the dominant face is detected.Source for faces (opens in a new tab)
The animation API remains documented, but the old marketing URL redirects to the homepage. Exact legacy entitlement, current price and underlying checkpoint lineage require confirmation.Source for accessScope (opens in a new tab)

Caching can reuse earlier input processing. Availability, lifetime and billing depend on the endpoint. A cache hit still generates a new response.
01 / INITIAL INPUTProcess & retain
The system processes eligible input and retains reusable state.
02 / LATER REQUESTCheck available state
Reuse depends on matching input, session state and the cache policy.
03 / CACHE HITReuse & generate
Reusing state can reduce repeated work. Any charges follow the billing rules below.

What the measurements say
No benchmark observations have been added for this model. We do not turn a vendor description into a performance score.
Latency and throughput depend on the host, request size, reasoning settings and load. There is no measured speed or global usage figure in this record.
The record behind the model
Why it is included
D-ID documents a named hosted Live Portrait animation engine. The exact checkpoint identity and weight provenance are not disclosed, so it is classified as a managed component, not an extra claimed foundation model.
