# Suno on RunAPI

Generate and transform music with Suno 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. Authenticate with `runapi login` (browser) or set `RUNAPI_API_KEY`; a saved CLI config also works — no required environment variable.

Inspect the available actions and request fields with CLI help:

```shell
runapi suno --help
runapi suno text-to-music --help
```

Run a one-off task (synchronous — polls until the task completes):

```shell
runapi suno text-to-music --input-file request.json
```

Submit asynchronously and poll separately:

```shell
runapi suno text-to-music --async --input-file request.json
runapi wait <task-id> --service suno --action text-to-music
```

Available actions: `text-to-music`, `extend-music`, `generate-artwork`, `cover-audio`, `add-instrumental`, `add-vocals`, `separate-audio-stems`, `generate-midi`, `convert-audio`, `visualize-music`, `generate-lyrics`, `get-timestamped-lyrics`, `replace-section`, `create-mashup`, `text-to-sound`, `generate-persona`, `boost-style`.

## SDK integration path

When integrating Suno into an app, backend, worker, or library — not for one-off tasks — use a RunAPI SDK package:

- JavaScript / TypeScript: `@runapi.ai/suno`
- Ruby: `runapi-suno`
- Go: `github.com/runapi-ai/suno-sdk/go`
