🚀 fal.ai Model Database

Complete database of 1,094 fal.ai models with pricing, categories, and API documentation links.

Why This Exists

fal.ai has 1,094+ AI models for image, video, audio, and 3D generation - but no easy way to browse or compare them all. We crawled everything and made it free & open source.

Quick Start

Python (Recommended)

from fal_models import search, get_model, list_by_category

# Search models
results = search("video generation")

# Get specific model
info = get_model("fal-ai/flux/dev")
print(info["api_docs"])  # https://fal.ai/models/fal-ai/flux/dev/api

# List by category
video_models = list_by_category("image-to-video")

Direct JSON Access

import json
with open("data/fal_model_lookup.json") as f:
    models = json.load(f)
    
# 1,094 models indexed by model_id
info = models["fal-ai/flux/dev"]

Claude MCP Server

Add to your Claude config to enable model lookup tools:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fal-ai-models": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["path/to/mcp_server.py"]
    }
  }
}

Then Claude can:

• search_fal_models("video generation")
• get_fal_model("fal-ai/kling-video/v2.5-turbo/pro/image-to-video")
• list_fal_category("text-to-image")
• refresh_fal_models() - re-crawl for latest data

How We Crawled It

Instead of scraping 1,094 pages, we found fal.ai's internal API:

# Their API has pagination bugs, so we query by category
CATEGORIES = ["text-to-image", "image-to-video", ...]

for cat in CATEGORIES:
    url = f"https://fal.ai/api/models?limit=500&categories={cat}"
    # fetch and dedupe by model_id

25 API calls → 1,094 unique models → ~5 seconds ⚡

Refresh Data

from fal_models import refresh_models
refresh_models()  # Re-crawls fal.ai, saves updated JSON

Or CLI:

python fal_models.py refresh
