Shut down on 2026-09-24, so every call fails.\n\n**Runway API.** OpenAPI 3.1, llms.txt and Markdown copies of every docs page. Gen-3 Alpha Turbo and Gen-4 Aleph were removed on 2026-07-30 with no prior notice in the changelog.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### OpenAI Sora API\n\n1. Don't call /v1/videos. The Videos API was removed on 2026-09-24\n2. Remove `sora-2`, `sora-2-pro` and the dated snapshots from configs and fallback chains\n3. Pick another provider from this category. OpenAI has no video model on its API now\n\n### Runway API\n\n1. Send `X-Runway-Version: 2024-11-06` on every request or it fails\n2. Use the SDK's wait-for-output helper or poll GET /v1/tasks/{id} until SUCCEEDED or FAILED\n3. Don't retry a SAFETY.* failure unchanged. It's moderation, not an outage\n4. Take model IDs from the models page, not memory. Two were removed without notice on 2026-07-30\n5. Copy outputs to your own storage. URLs expire within 24 to 48 hours\n\n## Other comparisons with OpenAI Sora API or Runway API\n\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs OpenAI Sora API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-openai-sora.md)\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-runway.md)\n- [Google Veo vs OpenAI Sora API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-veo-vs-openai-sora.md)\n- [Google Veo vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-veo-vs-runway.md)\n- [Kling AI API vs OpenAI Sora API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/kling-vs-openai-sora.md)\n- [Kling AI API vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/kling-vs-runway.md)\n- [Luma AI API vs OpenAI Sora API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-openai-sora.md)\n- [Luma AI API vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-runway.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 Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/minimax-video-vs-runway.md)\n- [OpenAI Sora API vs Pika API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/openai-sora-vs-pika.md)\n- [OpenAI Sora API vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/openai-sora-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [OpenAI Sora API vs Vidu API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/openai-sora-vs-vidu.md)\n- [Pika API vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/pika-vs-runway.md)\n- [PixVerse API vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/pixverse-vs-runway.md)\n- [Runway API vs Vidu API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/runway-vs-vidu.md)\n",
