# Runners API
API used by Runners to register and delete themselves.
>**Note:**
This API is intended to be used only by Runners as their own
communication channel. For the consumer API see the
[new Runners API](../runners.md).
## Authentication
This API uses two types of authentication:
1. Unique Runner's token, which is the token assigned to the Runner after it
has been registered.
2. Using Runners' registration token.
This is a token that can be found in project's settings.
It can also be found in the **Admin > Runners** settings area.
There are two types of tokens you can pass: shared Runner registration
token or project specific registration token.
