# Veo 3 on RunAPI
Generate and edit video with Veo 3 through RunAPI. The default path for one-off agent tasks is the `runapi` CLI; SDKs are for application integration.
## Routing decision
- One-off generation, editing, or transformation for the user → use the **CLI path** with the `runapi` binary.
- Building an app, backend, worker, library, or production codebase → use the **SDK integration path**.
## CLI path
The `runapi` binary is the runtime dependency. Authenticate with `runapi login` (browser) or set `RUNAPI_API_KEY`; a saved CLI config also works — no required environment variable.
Inspect the available actions and request fields with CLI help:
```shell
runapi veo-3-1 --help
runapi veo-3-1 text-to-video --help
```
Run a one-off task (synchronous — polls until the task completes):
```shell
runapi veo-3-1 text-to-video --input-file request.json
```
Submit asynchronously and poll separately:
```shell
runapi veo-3-1 text-to-video --async --input-file request.json
runapi wait <task-id> --service veo-3-1 --action text-to-video
```
Available actions: `text-to-video`, `extend-video`, `upscale-video`.
## SDK integration path
When integrating Veo 3 into an app, backend, worker, or library — not for one-off tasks — use a RunAPI SDK package:
- JavaScript / TypeScript: `@runapi.ai/veo-3.1`
- Ruby: `runapi-veo_3_1`
- Go: `github.com/runapi-ai/veo-3.1-sdk/go`
