Runway API FAQs


Does Runway have a publicly accessible API?

Yes, please visit http://dev.runwayml.com/ to sign up for an API account. 

 

Where can I learn more about using the Runway API?

View the comprehensive API documentation here: http://docs.dev.runwayml.com/

 

Why are my credits not showing up?

Credits or plans purchased on the web app (app.runwayml.com) are completely separate from credits purchased via the API (dev.runwayml.com).

Web app credits will never appear in your API credits, and vice versa. 

 

Why am I getting a 400 error?

If you're getting a 400 error, it is for one of two reasons: 

  1. You are using an endpoint that is not found in our API documentation
  2. There may be an error in your code

In either case, we recommend reviewing your code for any errors.

 

Why am I getting an Invalid API key error?

This error indicates an issue with your code or request formatting. We recommend reviewing it for any errors and ensuring that you're using the formatting specified in the API Reference documentation.

 

Should I integrate directly with the Runway API for Node.js or Python?

No. For Node.js and Python integrations, we strongly advise against integrating directly.
For the best experiences, we recommend using our official SDKs where possible. Our SDKs provide better error handling, automatic retries, and are maintained alongside API updates to prevent breaking changes in your code.

See here for more information: https://docs.dev.runwayml.com/api-details/sdks/ 

 

What is the Runway API hostname?
