RunAPI SDK selection

Use this skill to help an application developer pick and wire up RunAPI SDK packages for JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Go, Java, or PHP.

Choose from the requested deliverable: a one-off artifact or result uses the RunAPI CLI; an app, backend, worker, library, or production code integration uses an SDK.

Critical: SDK Integration Runtime

When the user is integrating RunAPI into an app, backend, worker, library, Rails service, Node service, Ruby codebase, Go service, webhook pipeline, or production workflow, start here before CLI/API docs. First confirm the target language and current Provider Client package, then inspect the package README or source for install commands, client methods (create, get, run), response shape, and error classes.

Never shell out to the runapi CLI as the production runtime integration layer.

When NOT to use this skill

Do not use for one-off generation or agent-executed media tasks. If the user just wants an agent to create, edit, transform, or transcribe media once, use the RunAPI CLI skill instead: https://github.com/runapi-ai/cli-skill.

Reach for an SDK only when building a web app, backend, worker, library, or production codebase that calls RunAPI from its own code.

Core SDK vs Provider Client packages

• Core SDK — shared client primitives (auth, HTTP, polling, errors). Install it transitively via a Provider Client package; depend on it directly only for custom clients.
  • JavaScript / TypeScript: @runapi.ai/core
  • Python: runapi-core
  • Ruby: runapi-core
  • Go: github.com/runapi-ai/core-sdk/go
  • Java: ai.runapi:runapi-core
  • PHP: runapi-ai/core
• Provider Client packages — one typed package per model line, built on the core SDK.
  • JavaScript / TypeScript: @runapi.ai/<model> (e.g. @runapi.ai/suno)
  • Python: runapi-<model> (e.g. runapi-suno)
  • Ruby: runapi-<model> (e.g. runapi-suno)
  • Go: github.com/runapi-ai/<model>-sdk/go
  • Java: ai.runapi:runapi-<model> (e.g. ai.runapi:runapi-suno)
  • PHP: runapi-ai/<model> (e.g. runapi-ai/suno)

Install only the Provider Client packages an application actually uses; each pulls the core SDK as a dependency.

Generated file storage

RunAPI-generated file URLs are temporary. Download and store any images, videos, audio, or other generated files in your own durable storage within 7 days; do not treat returned file URLs as long-term assets.

Authentication

Keep the RunAPI API key in RUNAPI_API_KEY (or pass it to the client constructor); never commit secrets.
