Reference

Models

Every model and endpoint ID available on the Cheaper Gen. API — video and image — with per-unit prices and links to each model's API docs.

Every model exposes one endpoint per task. Submit to POST /api/v1/run/{endpoint} with the endpoint ID below — the request shape is the same for every model, only the input fields differ. Each model's API page lists its fields, types, defaults and allowed values.

This list is generated from the same catalog the API uses. To fetch it programmatically, call GET /api/v1/models (no key needed) — see List models.
