Pika

Pika (Pika Labs) is a generative AI video platform that turns text prompts and images into short, high-quality videos. Pika is primarily a consumer and creator product delivered through its web app at pika.art (and historically a Discord bot), with features such as text-to-video, image-to-video, Pikascenes, Pikaframes keyframe interpolation, lip sync, and AI sound effects. Pika does NOT publish a first-party developer API on its own domain. Its pika.art/api page is a landing page that directs developers to fal.ai, Pika's official inference partner, which hosts Pika's 2.x video models as callable API endpoints (for example fal-ai/pika/v2.2/text-to-video and fal-ai/pika/v2.2/image-to-video). Consumer access is sold as credit-based monthly subscriptions; programmatic access is billed per generation on fal. Various unofficial third-party wrappers (PiAPI, useapi.net, Pollo, and others) also resell Pika access but are not operated or endorsed by Pika.

Pika publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Video Generation, AI Video, Generative AI, Text-to-Video, and Image-to-Video.

Pika’s developer surface includes documentation and 4 more developer resources.

  description: 'Pika''s official developer access is not hosted by Pika. Pika partnered with fal to serve its Pika 2.2 video
    models on fal''s inference infrastructure, so the pika.art/api page hands developers off to fal.ai. On fal, Pika models
    are exposed as async queue endpoints (submit / status / result) authenticated with a fal API key (Authorization: Key FAL_KEY).
    Documented model endpoint IDs include fal-ai/pika/v2.2/text-to-video, fal-ai/pika/v2.2/image-to-video, Pikascenes, and
    Pikaframes, plus v2.1 variants. Inputs include prompt, resolution (720p/1080p), aspect_ratio, duration (5 or 10 seconds),
    seed, and negative_prompt. Endpoints below are modeled from fal''s published model pages, not from a Pika-operated OpenAPI
    definition. No first-party Pika API, OpenAPI document, or public WebSocket surface is published on pika.art.'
