fal.ai Model Database

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

Why This Dataset?

fal.ai hosts 1,094+ AI models across 25 categories, but there's no easy way to browse, compare, or search them programmatically. This dataset solves that.

Usage

Python

import json
from datasets import load_dataset

# Load from Hugging Face
ds = load_dataset("PHY041/fal-ai-models")

# Or load JSON directly
with open("data/fal_models.json") as f:
    models = json.load(f)

# Search for video generation models
video_models = [m for m in models.values() if "video" in m.get("category", "")]

With the Crawler (Fresh Data)

# Clone the companion repo for the crawler
# https://github.com/PHY041/fal-ai-model-database

from fal_models import refresh_models, search

# Re-crawl fal.ai for latest models
refresh_models()

# Search
results = search("flux")

How It Was Built

Instead of scraping HTML, we discovered fal.ai's internal API:

Query all 25 categories = 1,094 unique models in ~5 seconds.
