# Runway Dev

> Runway's developer platform for media generation. One API for video, image,
> audio and real-time conversational video agents, from Runway and other
> frontier labs.

This origin is the signed-in developer portal: manage API keys, model routers,
published workflows, characters, evaluations, usage, billing, projects and
member roles.

To build an integration, do not scrape these pages. Start at the documentation
llms.txt. It has authentication, the task lifecycle, per-model request fields
and the OpenAPI spec.

## Start here

- [Docs index for agents](https://docs.dev.runwayml.com/llms.txt): authentication, task lifecycle, OpenAPI, and per-model request fields
- [ai-context.md](https://docs.dev.runwayml.com/ai-context.md): condensed brief — read this first

## Pricing

- [Runway Dev API Pricing](https://dev.runway.com/pricing.md): Pay-as-you-go API prices for the leading AI video, image and audio models on Runway Dev, per second or per image. One credit balance, no subscription. Per second of video, per image and per 1,000 characters, by resolution and option, with each model's API model ID. Also a web page: https://dev.runway.com/pricing

## What you configure here

Named resources you create in the portal and call from code. Their request
contracts live in the documentation, not on this origin.

- [Model routers](https://docs.dev.runwayml.com/_llms-txt/model-routers.txt): saved configs that pick a model per request
- [Recipes](https://docs.dev.runwayml.com/_llms-txt/recipes.txt): Runway-built endpoints for a production-ready asset from one call
- [Characters](https://docs.dev.runwayml.com/_llms-txt/characters.txt): real-time conversational video agents
- [Core API](https://docs.dev.runwayml.com/_llms-txt/core-api.txt): generation endpoints, task polling, errors, versioning, and billing

## Products

- [The AI Media Platform for Developers](https://dev.runway.com/): Runway Dev is Runway's developer platform for media generation. One API for the best video, image, audio and real-time models from Runway and other labs.
- [Runway Dev is built for agents](https://dev.runway.com/agents): Generate video, image, audio and real-time characters from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex. The Runway Dev MCP allows your agent to build the integration.
- [Runway Model Router](https://dev.runway.com/model-routers): Set your priority and cost cap, and the Model Router picks the best model within them for each request. Tested on video: 95% of top-model quality for 66% less.
- [Frontier models from Runway and other labs](https://dev.runway.com/models/catalog): Call video, image, audio and real-time models from Runway, Google, OpenAI, ByteDance and more through one API. New models arrive the day they release.
- [Runway Recipes](https://dev.runway.com/recipes): Runway-built API endpoints returning a production-ready product ad, UGC video, localized ad or campaign image from one call. No workflow to build or maintain.
- [Workflows](https://dev.runway.com/workflows): Chain models, modalities and tasks visually, no coding required, then publish the workflow as one API endpoint that stays the same as you update it.
- [Runway Dev for Enterprise](https://dev.runway.com/enterprise): One agreement for the best video, image and audio models from Runway and other labs: no training on your data, uncapped IP indemnification and SOC 2 Type II.
