# Wan on RunAPI

Generate and edit video with Wan 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 wan --help
runapi wan text-to-video --help
```

Run a one-off task (synchronous — polls until the task completes):

```shell
runapi wan text-to-video --input-file request.json
```

Submit asynchronously and poll separately:

```shell
runapi wan text-to-video --async --input-file request.json
runapi wait <task-id> --service wan --action text-to-video
```

Available actions: `text-to-video`, `image-to-video`, `video-to-video`, `speech-to-video`, `animate`, `text-to-image`, `reference-to-video`, `edit-video`.

## SDK integration path

When integrating Wan into an app, backend, worker, or library — not for one-off tasks — use a RunAPI SDK package:

- JavaScript / TypeScript: `@runapi.ai/wan`
- Ruby: `runapi-wan`
- Go: `github.com/runapi-ai/wan-sdk/go`
