  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'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.
