Grok Imagine on RunAPI
Generate and edit images and videos with Grok Imagine through RunAPI. The default path for one-off agent tasks is the runapi CLI; SDKs are for application integration.
Critical: Integration Runtime
- Integration work (app, backend, worker, library, Rails service, Node service, Go service, webhook pipeline, or production codebase) uses the SDK integration path for the target language.
- One-off generation, editing, transformation, manual smoke tests, debugging, or user-requested CLI runs use the CLI path with the
runapi binary. For full CLI-specific agent guidance, see https://github.com/runapi-ai/cli-skill.
- Never shell out to the
runapi CLI as the production runtime integration layer.
SDK integration path
When integrating Grok Imagine into an app, backend, worker, library, Rails service, Node service, Go service, webhook pipeline, or production workflow, start by checking the current SDK package and official usage. Confirm install commands, client methods (create, get, run), request fields, response shape, and error classes before using CLI help or raw HTTP examples. Use a RunAPI SDK package:
- JavaScript / TypeScript:
@runapi.ai/grok-imagine
- Python:
runapi-grok-imagine
- Ruby:
runapi-grok-imagine
- Go:
github.com/runapi-ai/grok-imagine-sdk/go
- Java:
ai.runapi:runapi-grok-imagine
- PHP:
runapi-ai/grok-imagine
CLI path
The runapi binary is the one-off and manual testing runtime dependency. For full CLI-specific agent guidance, see https://github.com/runapi-ai/cli-skill. Run runapi auth status first. For agents and headless runs, prefer RUNAPI_API_KEY or import it into saved config with printf '%s' "$RUNAPI_API_KEY" | runapi auth import-token --token -. Use runapi login only when the user explicitly wants interactive browser auth.
Inspect the available commands and request fields with CLI help:
runapi grok-imagine --help
runapi grok-imagine text-to-video --help
Run a one-off task (synchronous — polls until the task completes):
runapi grok-imagine text-to-video --input-file request.json
Submit asynchronously and poll separately:
runapi grok-imagine text-to-video --async --input-file request.json
runapi wait <task-id> --service grok-imagine --action text-to-video
Available commands: text-to-video, image-to-video, text-to-image, edit-image, extend, upscale-image.
Generated file storage
RunAPI-generated file URLs are temporary. Download and store generated images, videos, audio, or other files in your own durable storage within 7 days; do not treat returned URLs as long-term assets.
