# Seedance on RunAPI
Generate and edit video with Seedance 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. 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:
```shell
runapi seedance --help
runapi seedance text-to-video --help
```
Run a one-off task (synchronous — polls until the task completes):
```shell
runapi seedance text-to-video --input-file request.json
```
Submit asynchronously and poll separately:
```shell
runapi seedance text-to-video --async --input-file request.json
runapi wait <task-id> --service seedance --action text-to-video
```
Available commands: `text-to-video`.
## SDK integration path
When integrating Seedance into an app, backend, worker, or library — not for one-off tasks — use a RunAPI SDK package:
- JavaScript / TypeScript: `@runapi.ai/seedance`
- Ruby: `runapi-seedance`
- Go: `github.com/runapi-ai/se
