Submit to `queue.fal.run`, keep the `request_id`, then poll `status_url` or set `fal_webhook`. Never resubmit to check progress, because each submit is a new billable job\n2. Read `https://fal.ai/models/\u003cendpoint-id\u003e/llms.txt` before a call. `duration` is the string `\"5\"` on Kling, `\"8s\"` on Veo 3.1 and an integer on Wan 3.0\n3. Set `generate_audio` on purpose. It defaults to true and raises the Kling v3 Pro price from $0.112 to $0.168 a second and Veo 3.1 from $0.20 to $0.40\n4. Check `metadata.status` in `https://api.fal.ai/v1/models` before pinning an endpoint. Deprecated endpoints carry no removal date\n5. Use an API-scope key, never an ADMIN key. A new account runs 2 requests at once, so long video jobs queue behind each other\n6. The MCP relay has no server-side approval gate. Call `get_pricing` and get the owner's approval before `submit_job`\n\n### PixVerse API\n\n1. Generate a new UUID for Ai-trace-id on every new submit. Reuse it only to fetch the same job again\n2. Poll the result endpoint. Status 1 is done, 5 generating, 7 moderation failure, 8 failed\n3. Moderate prompts before calling. Repeated status 7 results can suspend the key\n4. Use model v6 or c1 for new work. Older model tables still sit in the docs\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, fal video models or PixVerse API?\n\nfal video models scores 68.9 (B) on agent readiness against PixVerse API's 42.4 (E), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Can an agent call fal video models and PixVerse API without installing anything?\n\nYes. fal video models has a hosted endpoint at https://queue.fal.run and PixVerse API at https://app-api.pixverse.ai/openapi/v2.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fal-video-vs-pixverse.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fal-video-vs-pixverse.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"fal-video\", \"b\": \"pixverse\"}`.
