Pika provides developer access via a REST API and an MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration, enabling programmatic generation of video, image, and audio assets. The platform abstracts multi-provider model routing — spanning Pika's own models, Seedance, MiniMax, Wan, Google (Omni Flash, Gemini), OpenAI (GPT Image), Grok, ElevenLabs, Nano Banana, and Seedream — behind a single API surface. An iOS app is also available for mobile-native integration scenarios. Credit consumption is metered per generation; API pricing aligns with the platform's credit tiers. Top-up packs range from $25 (1,500 credits) to $1,000 (66,000 credits), and annual billing reduces costs by 20%. Developers should consult Pika's official API documentation for endpoint references, authentication details, rate limits, and model-specific parameters.
