Use POST /v2/video_generation for H3 and poll GET /v2/query/video_generation/{task_id}. Tasks stay queryable for 7 days\n2. Set `ratio` for text-to-video. `adaptive` isn't allowed there\n3. Pass `callback_url` to skip polling. Your endpoint must echo the `challenge` within 3 seconds\n4. A 402 means the balance is empty and a 422 means moderation blocked the content. Don't retry either unchanged\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 MiniMax Video API or PixVerse API\n\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs MiniMax Video API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-minimax-video.md)\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [Google Veo vs MiniMax Video API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-veo-vs-minimax-video.md)\n- [Google Veo vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-veo-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [Kling AI API vs MiniMax Video API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/kling-vs-minimax-video.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 PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [MiniMax Video API vs OpenAI Sora API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/minimax-video-vs-openai-sora.md)\n- [MiniMax Video API vs Pika API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/minimax-video-vs-pika.md)\n- [MiniMax Video API vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/minimax-video-vs-runway.md)\n- [MiniMax Video API vs Vidu API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/minimax-video-vs-vidu.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",
