Tokens have no scopes or spend cap, no SLA is published, and the terms let Replicate withdraw any model without notice.\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### Replicate video models\n\n1. Call official models at `POST /v1/models/{owner}/{name}/predictions` with no version, then poll `GET /v1/predictions/{id}` or pass `webhook`. Video jobs usually outlast the 60-second `Prefer: wait` window\n2. Download the output file within the hour. API predictions lose inputs, outputs and logs after 60 minutes\n3. Read the model's price tiers before setting `resolution`, `mode` or `generate_audio`. Kling 3.0 runs from $0.168 to $0.42 a second and Veo 3.1 doubles with audio\n4. Send `Cancel-After` on every create. There is no idempotency key, so a blind retry is a second paid video\n5. Keep credit above $20 or enable auto-reload. Low balances are throttled, and granted credit with no card is held to 6 requests a minute\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## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Replicate video models or Runway API?\n\nReplicate video models scores 62.1 (B) on agent readiness against Runway API's 60.8 (C), and leads in 2 of 7 scored categories. Runway API leads on schema \u0026 documentation, security \u0026 auth and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Can an agent call Replicate video models and Runway API without installing anything?\n\nYes. Replicate video models has a hosted endpoint at https://api.replicate.com/v1 and Runway API at https://api.dev.runwayml.com/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/replicate-video-vs-runway.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/replicate-video-vs-runway.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"replicate-video\", \"b\": \"runway\"}`.
