Use Gen 4 Image with Comfy Router

API Reference for runway/gen4_image, served by Comfy Router from Runway.

Quick start

Create a key at platform.comfy.org/profile/api-keys and export it as COMFY_API_KEY. The Python and TypeScript snippets use the Comfy SDKs (pip install comfy-sdk, npm install @comfyorg/sdk); the cURL snippet is the same call over raw HTTP. Model ID: runway/gen4_image Endpoint: POST https://api.comfy.org/v2/models/runway/gen4_image

from comfy_sdk import Comfy

# Reads COMFY_API_KEY from the environment. Each call sends a fresh
# Idempotency-Key and waits up to 10 minutes for the finished result.
with Comfy() as client:
    result = client.models.run(
        "runway/gen4_image",
        {
            # Request fields are the provider's own — see Input below.
        },
    )

print(result)

import { comfy } from "@comfyorg/sdk";

// Reads COMFY_API_KEY from the environment. Each call sends a fresh
// Idempotency-Key and waits up to 10 minutes for the finished result.
const { data } = await comfy.models.run("runway/gen4_image", {
  // Request fields are the provider's own — see Input below.
});

console.log(data);

# Request fields are the provider's own — see Input below.
curl https://api.comfy.org/v2/models/runway/gen4_image \
  -H "X-API-Key: $COMFY_API_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{}'

Schema

Input

Router has not published an authored input schema for this model yet: GET /v2/models/runway/gen4_image/openapi.json returns an open object with x-comfy-input-schema-authored: false. Router forwards the body to Runway unchanged, so Runway’s own API reference is authoritative for the request fields, and nothing is validated server side.

Output

string (date-time)

required

Task creation timestampFormat: date-time

string

required

Task ID

string[]

The finished generation’s asset URLs — for runway/gen4_image each element is an IMAGE URL. Present once the task terminates successfully; this list IS the result.

number

Float value between 0 and 1 representing the progress of the task. Only available if status is RUNNING.Range: 0 to 1Format: float

string

required

Possible statuses for a Runway task.Possible values: SUCCEEDED, RUNNING, FAILED, PENDING, CANCELLED, THROTTLED

Before you ship

The snippets above are the shortest working call. Three things are the same for every model and are documented once on the Comfy Router headers page: send an Idempotency-Key on every paid call and reuse it when you retry, expect the connection to be held up to Router’s 10 minute deadline, and keep X-Comfy-Request-Id from every response. The SDKs do all three for you; the cURL tab does none of them. On failure, X-Comfy-Error-Type names the bucket, and a 422 means the body failed the model’s schema and was never billed.

Headers

Authentication, idempotency, request IDs, error buckets, retry pacing, spend limits.

Quick Start

Typed error handling in Python and TypeScript, reading the 422, walking the catalog.

Limitations

What Router does not do today, and what to use instead.
