Plan prices and the dollar value of a credit sit on a JavaScript-only billing page.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Luma AI API\n\n1. Send model `ray-3.2` and type `video`, with resolution and duration inside `video`. Older model names are rejected\n2. Poll GET /v1/generations/{id} until completed or failed, then copy the presigned URL\n3. On 429, read `detail`. Rate limit exceeded means wait Retry-After, Too many concurrent jobs means wait for a job to finish\n4. Use keyframes with `keyframe_indexes` for 10 second clips. start_frame and end_frame only work at 5 seconds\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## Other comparisons with Luma AI API or PixVerse API\n\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs Luma AI API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-luma.md)\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [Google Veo vs Luma AI API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-veo-vs-luma.md)\n- [Google Veo vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-veo-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [Kling AI API vs Luma AI API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/kling-vs-luma.md)\n- [Kling AI API vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/kling-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [Luma AI API vs MiniMax Video API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-minimax-video.md)\n- [Luma AI API vs OpenAI Sora API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-openai-sora.md)\n- [Luma AI API vs Pika API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-pika.md)\n- [Luma AI API vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-runway.md)\n- [Luma AI API vs Vidu API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-vidu.md)\n- [MiniMax Video API vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/minimax-video-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [OpenAI Sora API vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/openai-sora-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [Pika API vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/pika-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [PixVerse API vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/pixverse-vs-runway.md)\n- [PixVerse API vs Vidu API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/pixverse-vs-vidu.md)\n",
