Result URLs and task ids expire after 24 hours.\n\n**Higgsfield API.** One asynchronous API for 67 video and 17 image catalogue entries, with idempotency keys, per-second list prices public without a login, and failed or moderated jobs not charged. API inputs and outputs train Higgsfield's models unless the workspace opts out, and the docs carry no changelog. The API returns 400 at the concurrency limit, with no Retry-After.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Alibaba Wan (Model Studio)\n\n1. Send `X-DashScope-Async: enable` on the create call or it fails, then poll GET /api/v1/tasks/{task_id} about every 15 seconds\n2. Copy the video out within 24 hours. The URL and the task id both expire\n3. Use the host from your workspace and region. A Singapore key won't work on a Beijing host\n4. Don't resubmit a slow job. Poll it. Failed jobs aren't billed, so resubmit only after FAILED\n5. Set `audio` false if you don't want sound. It's on by default for Wan 3.0\n\n### Higgsfield API\n\n1. Send `Authorization: Key \u003ckey_id\u003e:\u003ckey_secret\u003e` to https://api.higgsfield.ai. A Bearer token is rejected\n2. Send a fresh `Idempotency-Key` with every generation. After a timeout or 5xx, repeat the same request with the same key, then read `status_url`\n3. Treat a 400 whose `detail` mentions concurrent requests as a limit, not a bad request. Wait for a running job to finish before submitting more\n4. Poll `status_url` from 2 seconds up to 10 with jitter, and stop on `completed`, `failed`, `nsfw` or `canceled`\n5. Download output within seven days. Media files may be deleted after that\n6. Read the model's own docs page for its schema. The OpenAPI file lists only a few models\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) or Higgsfield API?\n\nAlibaba Wan (Model Studio) scores 65.1 (B) on agent readiness against Higgsfield API's 63.5 (B), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories. Higgsfield API leads on reliability and agent ergonomics.\n\n### Do Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) and Higgsfield API need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) and Higgsfield API without installing anything?\n\nYes. Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) has a hosted endpoint at https://dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com/api/v1 and Higgsfield API at https://api.higgsfield.ai.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-higgsfield.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-higgsfield.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"alibaba-wan\", \"b\": \"higgsfield\"}`.
