# APIDot Runway Gen-4.5 API

Use APIDot as a Runway Gen-4.5-focused API surface for cinematic text-to-video, optional image-guided video, duration planning, polling, and webhook delivery.

This skill is for routing Runway Gen-4.5 questions to the right APIDot docs, model pages, reference notes, and async integration pattern. It is documentation-only: it includes no scripts, makes no network requests, and does not store credentials.

This release contains `SKILL.md` plus non-executable notes in `references/api.md`. It includes no executable files, install-time automation, review automation helpers, shell automation, bundled API clients, automatic network calls, or stored credentials.

## When To Use

Use this skill when the user asks to:

- Build a Runway Gen-4.5 API integration with APIDot.
- Generate cinematic videos from prompts or a single guiding image.
- Use Runway Gen-4.5 through APIDot for text-to-video or image-to-video workflows.
- Plan believable motion, physical interaction, visual continuity, polling, or webhook callbacks.
- Implement APIDot async Runway Gen-4.5 jobs with task submission, task status polling, or webhook delivery.
- Find APIDot Runway Gen-4.5 docs, model pages, or general APIDot examples.

## Security Rules

- Treat `APIDOT_API_KEY` as a secret.
- Keep APIDot API keys in server-side environment variables or a backend secret manager.
- Never place an API key in browser code, frontend bundles, public repos, logs, screenshots, or chat output.
- Do not make live API calls unless the user explicitly asks and provides a safe server-side environment.
- Do not invent API facts, commercial terms, model availability, reliability claims, performance claims, or competitor comparisons.
- Use current APIDot docs and model pages for model-specific request fields and current product details.

## Runway Gen-4.5 Workflow

APIDot Runway Gen-4.5 generation follows the shared async task pattern:

1. Choose the Runway Gen-4.5 request mode from the current APIDot docs.
2. Submit the video generation request through the documented APIDot async generation flow.
3. Save the returned `data.task_id` immediately.
4. Poll task status with the documented task status API for local tests.
5. Use `callback_url` webhook delivery for production queues or user workflows that may outlive the current page.
6. Store final video URLs only after the task reaches a terminal success state.

Do not guess model-specific payload fields. If the user needs copyable request examples, point them to the current APIDot docs or general APIDot examples.

## Model Routing

Start from the user's Runway Gen-4.5 task, then open the matching APIDot source:

| User Goal | Start Here |
| --- | --- |
| Browse APIDot Runway Gen-4.5 model page | https://apidot.ai/models/runway-gen-4-5 |
| Build with Runway Gen-4.5 | https://apidot.ai/docs/runway-gen-4-5 |
| Read APIDot API docs | https://apidot.ai/docs |
| Learn APIDot quickstart flow | https://apidot.ai/docs/quickstart |
| Implement webhooks | https://apidot.ai/docs/webhooks |
| Use general APIDot examples | https://github.com/APIDotAI/apidot-examples |

Use `references/api.md` for a local, non-executable summary of Runway Gen-4.5 model routing, request planning, and async workflow notes.

For Runway Gen-4.5 request modes, prefer the live APIDot model page and docs page. Do not copy request fields from another video model family unless the APIDot docs show the same field.

## Integration Guidance

- Use `apidot-video-generation-api` when the user needs broad video generation guidance across several model families.
- Use this skill when the user is specifically building with Runway Gen-4.5 through APIDot.
- Ask which video task the user needs before choosing a model-specific example: text-to-video, image-guided video, cinematic product shot, physical interaction, storyboard clip, or social ad draft.
- Persist `task_id`, selected model, user ID, source media references, request status, and final video URLs together.
- Validate source image URLs before submitting workflows that depend on image guidance.
- Treat webhook handlers as idempotent. Duplicate callback deliveries should not create duplicate visible results.
- Retry transient network failures with backoff. Do not retry invalid payloads unchanged.
- Avoid logging API keys, private prompts, private media URLs, generated video URLs, or callback URLs.
