Runway PHP SDK for RunAPI

The Runway PHP SDK is the language-specific package for Runway on RunAPI. Use this package when your application needs Composer installs, associative-array request bodies, task status lookup, and consistent RunAPI errors in PHP.

This README is the PHP package guide for the public runway-php split repository. For model details, use https://runapi.ai/models/runway; for API reference, use https://runapi.ai/docs/api/runway/text-to-video; for SDK docs, use https://runapi.ai/docs/resources/sdks.

Install

composer require runapi-ai/runway

Quick start

<?php

require __DIR__ . "/vendor/autoload.php";

use RunApi\Runway\RunwayClient;

$client = new RunwayClient(); // reads RUNAPI_API_KEY

$extendVideoTask = $client->extendVideo->create([
    'model' => 'runway',
    'output_resolution' => '720p',
    'prompt' => 'Make it golden hour',
    'source_task_id' => 'task_source',
    'watermark' => 'sample',
]);

$task = $client->textToVideo->create([
    'model' => 'runway',
    'aspect_ratio' => '16:9',
    'duration_seconds' => 5,
    'first_frame_image_url' => 'https://cdn.runapi.ai/public/samples/image.jpg',
    'output_resolution' => '720p',
    'prompt' => 'A precise product render on white marble',
    'watermark' => 'sample',
]);

$status = $client->textToVideo->get($task->id);

$result = $client->textToVideo->run([
    'model' => 'runway',
    'aspect_ratio' => '16:9',
    'duration_seconds' => 5,
    'first_frame_image_url' => 'https://cdn.runapi.ai/public/samples/image.jpg',
    'output_resolution' => '720p',
    'prompt' => 'A serene mountain lake at dawn',
    'watermark' => 'sample',
]);

echo $result->videos[0]->url . PHP_EOL;

Use create() to submit a task and return quickly, get() to fetch the latest task state, and run() when a script should create and poll until completion. In web request handlers, prefer create() plus webhook or later get() polling so a worker is not held open.

RunAPI-generated file URLs are temporary. Download and store generated files in your own durable storage within the retention window; do not treat returned URLs as long-term assets.

Language notes

Pass request parameters as associative arrays with snake_case keys. The available resources are textToVideo, extendVideo. Keep RUNAPI_API_KEY in the environment or your secret manager; never commit API keys or callback secrets.
