For Agencies

Replace 5 Subscriptions with One API

Stop paying for Midjourney, DALL·E, Runway, stock photos, and Pika separately. One API key gives your agency access to 10+ image and video models — pay only for what you generate.

Agencies typically save 60-80% by consolidating to CreativeAI's pay-per-use API.

The Problem

Your Agency Is Paying $143/mo for Fragmented AI Tools

Most creative agencies subscribe to multiple AI platforms — each with its own billing, login, usage limits, and API (if it even has one).

Why Switch

One API That Replaces the Stack

Predictable, Lower Costs

Pay ~$0.21–$0.30 per image, ~$0.36–$1.07 per video. No monthly minimums, no unused subscription capacity. Credits never expire — quiet months cost nothing.

10+ Models, One Endpoint

Seedream, GPT-Image-1, Flux for images. Kling, Vidu, Wan for video. Switch models by changing one parameter. No new accounts, no new SDKs.

OpenAI SDK Compatible

Already use the OpenAI SDK? Change two lines — base URL and API key. Your existing code, workflows, and automation tools work immediately.

Async Jobs & Webhooks

Video generation runs asynchronously. Get a webhook callback when jobs complete — no polling loops, no blocked threads. Ideal for production pipelines.

Multi-Model Reliability

If one model provider has downtime, switch to another through the same API. No single point of failure — your client deadlines stay on track.

Commercial License Included

All generated images and videos include full commercial usage rights. Use them in client campaigns, ads, social media, websites, and print materials.

5-Minute Migration

From Fragmented to Consolidated

If you use the OpenAI SDK, migration is a two-line change. For raw HTTP, just change the URL and header. Images and video through the same API key.

Before — multiple tools
# Before: separate SDKs, separate billing
import midjourney, runway, dalle

img = dalle.generate(prompt="...")     # $20/mo sub
vid = runway.generate(prompt="...")    # $36/mo sub
After — one API
# After: one SDK, one bill
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_CREATIVEAI_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.creativeai.run/v1"
)

# Image — pick any model
img = client.images.generate(
    model="seedream-3.0",
    prompt="Luxury product on marble surface, studio lighting",
    size="1024x1024"
)

# Product Image → Product Video (I2V)
import requests
vid = requests.post(
    "https://api.creativeai.run/v1/video/generations",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_CREATIVEAI_KEY"},
    json={
        "model": "kling-v3",
        "prompt": "Slow zoom on product, cinematic lighting",
        "image_url": img.data[0].url,   # feed product image in
        "duration": 5,
        "webhook_url": "https://your-agency.com/webhook"
    }
)

Use Cases

Agency Workflows That Consolidate Best

Campaign & Ad Creative

Generate hero images, banner variations, and social media creatives for client campaigns. Test multiple visual directions in minutes. Switch between photorealistic (Seedream) and stylized (Flux) models per brief.

Replaces: Midjourney + DALL·E + stock photos

Video Content Production

Create short video clips for social, ads, and presentations. Submit async video jobs with webhook callbacks — your pipeline keeps moving while videos render.

Replaces: Runway + Pika + Kling subscriptions

Automated Content Pipelines

Build n8n, Make, or custom workflows that generate, process, and deliver visuals on schedule. One API endpoint for images and video — no juggling multiple integrations.

Replaces: Multiple API integrations + manual generation

Client Pitch & Concept Art

Rapidly visualize creative directions for pitches. Generate concept art and mood boards across different styles by switching models. Bill generation costs directly to client projects.

Replaces: Stock photo searches + freelance concept artists

Product Image → Product Video

Turn existing product photos into short product videos with one API call. Pass an image_url to any video model — the API generates a video that preserves product details. Ideal for Shopify listings, ad creatives, and catalog-scale video generation.

Replaces: Runway + manual product video editing

Multi-Platform Ad Variations

Generate every ad format from one product image or brief: 1:1 for Instagram/Facebook, 9:16 for Stories/TikTok/Reels, 16:9 for YouTube, plus marketplace listings — all in one parallel batch across models.

Replaces: Manual resizing + re-generation across multiple tools

Ad Video Pipeline

Product Still → Ad Video in One Script

Generate a hero product image, then feed it straight into async video generation with webhook delivery. One API, both steps — no manual handoff between tools.

Python — product still → ad video (image + video API)
import requests, time

API  = "https://api.creativeai.run/v1"
KEY  = "YOUR_CREATIVEAI_KEY"
HDR  = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {KEY}", "Content-Type": "application/json"}

# Step 1 — Generate the hero product still
img = requests.post(f"{API}/images/generations", headers=HDR, json={
    "model": "seedream-3.0",
    "prompt": "Minimalist sneaker on clean surface, studio lighting, ad hero shot",
    "size": "1024x1024",
}).json()
hero_url = img["data"][0]["url"]
print(f"Hero image: {hero_url[:60]}…")

# Step 2 — Turn the still into an ad video (async + webhook)
vid = requests.post(f"{API}/video/generations", headers=HDR, json={
    "model": "kling-v2-master",
    "prompt": "Slow cinematic rotation, product hero reveal, clean background",
    "image_url": hero_url,        # feed the product still in
    "duration": 5,
    "aspect_ratio": "9:16",       # vertical for Stories / TikTok / Reels
    "webhook_url": "https://your-agency.com/hooks/ad-video"
}).json()
job_id = vid["data"]["task_id"]
print(f"Video job submitted: {job_id}")

# Step 3 — Poll until complete (or rely on webhook)
while True:
    status = requests.get(f"{API}/video/generations/{job_id}",
                          headers=HDR).json()
    if status["data"]["status"] == "completed":
        print(f"Ad video ready: {status['data']['video_url'][:60]}…")
        break
    time.sleep(5)
Image + Video
Both from one API key
Webhook delivery
No polling required
9:16 / 16:9 / 1:1
Any ad format

API Shutdown Deadlines

Your Client Image & Video APIs Are Shutting Down

If your agency pipelines rely on DALL-E or Sora, every client project using them needs a migration plan now. CreativeAI is a drop-in replacement — same OpenAI SDK, 2-line code change, and your entire team keeps working.

DALL-E 2 & 3 Shutdown

May 12, 2026
  • DALL-E 2 already deprecated and unavailable
  • DALL-E 3 shuts down May 12 — client campaign pipelines break
  • CreativeAI routes to gpt-image-1, Seedream 3 & 4+ more models
  • Same OpenAI SDK — change base_url and api_key

Use code DALLE1000 for 3,000 free credits (~1,000 campaign images).

Sora 1 Shutdown

March 13, 2026
  • Sora 1 was permanently shut down March 13
  • Sora 2 requires $200/mo ChatGPT Pro — no API access
  • 5+ video models: Kling v3, Seedance 1.5, Veo 3.1 & more
  • Async ad video with webhook delivery per campaign

Use code SORASWITCH for 50 free video credits. No subscription.

Agency pipeline migration — 2 lines

# Before (DALL-E / Sora direct)
client = OpenAI(api_key="sk-...")

# After (CreativeAI — same SDK)
client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_CREATIVEAI_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.creativeai.run/v1"
)
# All client campaign code works unchanged
