  title: Runway Character Performance Text-to-Image API
  description: 'The Runway (RunwayML) developer API for generative AI media. All generation is asynchronous: a POST to a generation endpoint creates a task and returns a task id, which the client polls on GET /tasks/{id} until the task reaches SUCCEEDED or FAILED. Every request must include an Authorization Bearer API secret and a dated X-Runway-Version header (for example 2024-11-06). Usage is billed in credits (roughly $0.01 per credit) against a developer organization. This description was authored by API Evangelist from Runway''s public documentation and is not an official Runway artifact; verify shapes against docs.dev.runwayml.com.'
