+# 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.
