What it makes

Section titled “What it makes”

No new video. This is a utility template. A Seedance task keeps running on BytePlus after you close ComfyUI, so you can come back to it later. Paste a task ID and the template shows how many tasks matched, the task status and the model that made it. Leave the ID empty and it lists your latest tasks instead.

The workflow

Section titled “The workflow”
The Seedance Task Query template: a note and a Task ID field on the left, the lookup node and three text previews on the right
A Task ID field feeds the lookup node; two Extract nodes pick the status and the model out of its JSON.
  1. Task ID is a string field. Its title says to paste your ID, or leave it empty to list the latest tasks. A note called How to use sits above it.
  2. Video Query Tasks (titled “Look up the task”) receives the ID as task_ids and returns the task list as JSON together with the number of tasks found. The template uses its defaults: page_num 1, page_size 10, status all, service_tier default and model_version all.
  3. Tasks found previews the count (total_tasks).
  4. Two Extract nodes use a regular expression to pull the first status and the first model out of the JSON. Task status and Model that made it preview them.

Run it

Section titled “Run it”
  1. Add your ModelArk API key in Settings → BytePlus if you have not yet (API keys).
  2. Open the template browser and choose Seedance Task Query under BytePlus.
  3. Find a task ID and paste it into the Task ID field. The ID is the Task ID line in the ComfyUI console while a Seedance video runs, or the draft_task_id output of a Seedance 2.5 Draft run. It must be a real task ID from your own account, and ModelArk keeps a task for 7 days. An ID the account does not know is reported as not found.
  4. Press Run. The three previews fill in within a moment.

Settings worth changing

Section titled “Settings worth changing”
  • Task ID: leave the field empty to list your latest tasks. The lookup accepts one ID per line, but the Task ID field is a single line, so swap it for a multiline text node to look up several tasks at once.
  • status: filter the list, for example to running or failed.
  • model_version: show only tasks of one Seedance model, for example dreamina-seedance-2-5.
  • page_size and page_num: page through a long list of tasks.

Example result

Section titled “Example result”
The three previews after a run with an empty Task ID: tasks found, task status and the model that made the first task
An empty Task ID lists your latest tasks.

With an empty ID, the previews describe your task list: the count of tasks found, and the status and model of the first task in the list, which is the newest. With a task ID you see that one task instead.

Time and cost

Section titled “Time and cost”

The template only reads task information and does not generate a video. The seed of the lookup node is set to randomize, so every run repeats the lookup instead of reusing ComfyUI’s cached result.
