# OpenClaw x Qwen 3

The Qwen 3 API exposes a image model from Alibaba, accessible through RunAPI with a single API key and per-call billing. Developers call Qwen 3 the same way they call any other model in the RunAPI catalog — set the model parameter, submit a request, and receive structured JSON. The model skill packages docs, typed schemas, pricing notes, and setup steps so your coding agent has the right context before you write integration code. Billing is unified across all providers, failed generations are never charged, and results are retrievable by task ID.

## Public versions and endpoints

| Model ID | Version | Endpoints | Starting price |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `qwen-3-edit-image` | Standard Qwen 3 editing with up to three source images | /api/v1/qwen_3/edit_image | $0.070 |
| `qwen-3-pro-edit-image` | Pro editing with up to three source images and 2K output | /api/v1/qwen_3/edit_image | $0.140 |
| `qwen-3-pro-text-to-image` | Pro text-to-image with higher-detail 1K and 2K output | /api/v1/qwen_3/text_to_image | $0.120 |
| `qwen-3-text-to-image` | Standard Qwen 3 text-to-image at 1K or 2K | /api/v1/qwen_3/text_to_image | $0.050 |

## Configuration

Select `<model-id>` before using a command. This page does not select a default model.
Set `RUNAPI_API_KEY`, then create a request with `<model-id>` at `<endpoint>`. Poll only when the endpoint returns an asynchronous Task.

```shell
export RUNAPI_API_KEY=your_api_key

curl -X POST https://runapi.ai<endpoint> \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $RUNAPI_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @request.json
```

POST <endpoint> and save the returned Task id.
GET <endpoint>/<task-id> until status is completed or failed.
Verify the completed response contains the endpoint-specific output documented in the API reference.

## Additional operations


## How it works

1. **Choose a model ID.** Select a public catalog model ID and review its endpoint and current starting price.
2. **Configure RunAPI.** Set RUNAPI_API_KEY before making the endpoint request.
3. **Verify the result.** For asynchronous endpoints, poll the same endpoint until the Task reaches a terminal status.

## FAQ

### Which model ID should I use?

Choose a public model ID from the version table. Each ID exposes the endpoints shown for that version.

### Does this guide configure a chat model?

No. This Model Line uses the endpoint workflow shown here and is not presented as an agent chat model.
