WHY RUNAPI

Why route the Ideogram V3 API through RunAPI

One auth, every provider

A single RunAPI key unlocks the whole catalog. No separate accounts, no key rotation per integration.

Unified pricing & billing

Per-call pricing in USD, billed monthly. Failed generations are not charged.

Schema-first SDK

Typed schemas and setup notes are packaged in the model skill so implementation starts from the right contract.

FAQ

Common questions

Which variant should I start with?

Pick the cheapest variant that meets your quality bar. Most teams start on the fast variant and graduate to pro for production.

Is there a free tier?

New accounts get free first calls on every model. After that, pay per call.

Do you stream results?

Where streaming is available, RunAPI streams end-to-end.

How are failures billed?

Failed generations are not charged.

Are outputs cached?

Generated outputs are stored and retrievable by task ID. Inputs are not cached.

Can I use commercially?

Yes — commercial use is included for every variant unless a model license explicitly restricts it, which is called out on the variant page.

What about rate limits?

Per-key rate limits scale with usage tier. See pricing page for current limits.

Where can I report issues?

Open an issue on the public GitHub repo or email support.
