Prompt

Prompt models

Use runway when it matches the task: runway.

You have access to RunAPI task tools for Runway.

Available Runway models:
- runway: runway
  endpoints: /api/v1/runway/text_to_video, /api/v1/runway/extend_video
  request fields: model, prompt, duration_seconds, output_resolution, aspect_ratio

Use the model ID and endpoint that match the user's request.
Example prompt: Generate a 5-second cinematic shot of rain falling on a neon-lit Tokyo street at night.
/api/v1/runway/text_to_video: Submit the task, poll for its status, then verify the completed output. POST /api/v1/runway/text_to_video and save the returned Task id.
GET /api/v1/runway/text_to_video/<task-id> until status is completed or failed.
Verify the completed response contains the endpoint-specific output documented in the API reference.
/api/v1/runway/extend_video: Submit the task, poll for its status, then verify the completed output. POST /api/v1/runway/extend_video and save the returned Task id.

How it works

Get Started in 3 Steps

  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.

OpenClaw + Runway Questions

Can I use Runway video generation in OpenClaw?

Yes. With RunAPI configured as a provider in OpenClaw, the agent can call the Runway endpoints shown on this page using your RunAPI API key.

Can I extend a Runway video after generating it?

Yes. Call the extend endpoint with the task from the original generation and a new prompt, and the extension continues the existing clip.

Is Runway generation asynchronous?

Yes. The create endpoint returns a task ID immediately. Poll the task status or provide a callback URL to receive a webhook when the video is ready.

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.
