Pika: re-sync the catalog for allowlisted models; unset defaults stay unset
Three catalog rules worth knowing. First, if a model is missing from your list, re-sync the catalog with your key (npm run sync:catalog in that project); early-access models only appear for allowlisted keys. Second, only send the defaults the schema actually declares: where the schema declares no default, leave the field unset rather than picking the first enum value, which would silently pin models to 480p or 1:1 without anyone choosing that. Third, on pricing: billing units differ per model (seconds, images, characters, requests, tokens), token-billed models cannot be estimated up front, and a $0 estimate means not quotable, not free.
Context: Web source (Creative Canvas for Pika, model registry docs): Pika serves the JSON schema and price tiers for every endpoint at GET /catalog/apis. Early-access models are gated and only visible to allowlisted keys, so a model you can see on Pikas site can be missing from your catalog until you re-run the sync with your key.Maintainer review
