Runware

Runware is a unified AI inference platform — "one API for all AI" — that gives developers a single endpoint for image, video, audio, 3D, and text (LLM) generation across 400K+ open and closed-source models. Every request is a task object (taskType, taskUUID, model identifier, and modality parameters) posted to a single HTTP endpoint, with WebSocket and Server-Sent Events transports for low-latency and streaming workloads. Models are addressed by a creator:family@version identifier and billed pay-per-request with no subscriptions — serverless open models bill on optimized compute time while closed partner models use fixed per-request rates. Runware ships official TypeScript and Python SDKs, a static-binary CLI, a hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, published Agent Skills, a Vercel AI SDK provider, and an OpenAI-compatibility layer, so the same inference surface is reachable from code, terminal, and agents.

agent aware

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Runware the way a machine reads it — 6 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Runware scores 43.6/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 34/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Runware

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Runware. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 1

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Runware Inference API

Single task-based endpoint for image, video, audio, 3D, and text inference across 400K+ models, reachable over HTTP, WebSocket, and Server-Sent Events.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Security Posture 4

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
