# runwayml Integration via LowCodeAPI

**Last Updated**: February 10, 2026

## Overview
General-purpose multimodal AI platform for video and image generation and editing

**Categories:**
- {'id': 'video-generation', 'name': 'Video Generation AI'}

## Base Endpoint
https://api.lowcodeapi.com/runwayml

**Important**: Always include the provider name in the URL path after `api.lowcodeapi.com/`

## Authentication
**Type:** TOKEN

**Official Documentation:** https://docs.dev.runwayml.com/api

## URL Format (Important)

LowCodeAPI supports two URL formats. **Always try the New Format first**, then fall back to Old Format if needed.

### New Format (Priority)
- Path parameters stay in the URL path
- Do NOT include path parameters as query parameters
- Example: `https://api.lowcodeapi.com/{provider}/resource/{id}?api_token=XXX`

### Old Format (Fallback)
- Path parameters become query parameters
- Example: `https://api.lowcodeapi.com/{provider}/resource/id?id={id}&api_token=XXX`

### Decision Flow for AI Agents
1. Always use **New Format** first - keep path parameters in the URL path
2. If you get a 404 or error, try **Old Format** with sanitized path
3. Log which format worked for future requests to this provider

```bash
# Create a chat completion - no path parameters needed
curl -X POST "https://api.lowcodeapi.com/runwayml/v1/chat/completions?api_token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "your-model-name",
