It wraps REST and WebSocket transports to the Runware API, letting you generate images from text or images, upscale, remove backgrounds, and apply ControlNet models\u2014all without running inference locally. The library depends on aiofiles, httpx, python-dotenv, and websockets to handle async I/O and environment configuration.\n\nThe package is in active maintenance but marked as Alpha; the maintainers have published a newer official SDK (runware-python) that covers the full feature surface going forward. This library remains supported during the transition, so it is stable enough for production use but may not receive all new features. You interact with it by instantiating a Runware client, connecting to the API, and calling methods like imageInference() with request objects that specify prompts, models, and generation parameters.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a straightforward async client for the Runware API and are comfortable with an Alpha-stage library. Install friction is low, maintenance is active, and there are no known vulnerabilities. Be aware that the maintainers recommend the newer runware-python SDK for new projects, so this package is best suited for existing integrations or when you specifically need this API surface. Requires a Runware account and API key to be useful."},"id":"runware","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/runware","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/runware.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/runware/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-30","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"runware","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"The Python Runware SDK is used to interact with the Runware API, powered by the Runware inference platform. It supports image generation, video generation, image upscale, video upscale, image caption, video caption, image background removal, video background removal, audio generation, and more. It also allows the use of an existing gallery of models or selecting any model or LoRA from the CivitAI gallery. The API also supports inpainting, outpainting, and a series of other ControlNet models."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2577057,"position":2995,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.5.24"}
