To enable AI generation capabilities for your website application, you need to register an account on RunningHub(Click) and obtain an API.
This guide explains how to connect RunningHub API credentials to the theme and how to understand the API running cost. RunningHub is used by AI generation features, so the API key and wallet balance must be configured before users can run AI tasks reliably.
Get the RunningHub API Key
Open the RunningHub API key page at RunningHub API page.
Use the Enterprise-Shared tab. This is the API key type used for the shared enterprise API connection. Copy the API key from the API Key table.
Add the API Key in WordPress
In WordPress, go to SEA Theme and open AI Generation. In the RunningHub Settings section, keep the default RunningHub Base URL unless you have a custom compatible endpoint.
Paste the copied key into RunningHub API Key, then click Save Changes. The theme will use this key when AI modules do not have their own API Key Override value.
Recharge the RunningHub Wallet
The API key alone is not enough. Your RunningHub wallet also needs an available balance. Click the wallet or recharge option in RunningHub, choose a recharge amount, and complete the payment.
If the wallet balance is too low, AI generation requests may fail even when the API key is correct.
Understand API Running Cost
RunningHub deducts cost each time an AI task runs. The amount is not fixed. It changes based on the actual runtime of the task, because runtime can be affected by the model, workflow complexity, network conditions, server load, and current traffic.
These values are only reference examples. Actual cost may vary for each run.
Use Running Cost When Designing Subscription Prices
The RunningHub charge is one of the main operating costs for AI generation features. It represents the compute cost of running the AI task, but it is not the only business cost.
When designing your membership plan or usage package, consider RunningHub task costs together with other expenses such as hosting, bandwidth, marketing, support, and manual operation. This helps you set a package price that covers the real cost of each user-generated AI task.
