## Creating runners programmatically
A new [POST /user/runners REST API](../../api/users.md#create-a-runner) was introduced in
GitLab 15.11, which allows a runner to be created in the context of an authenticated user. This should only be used in
scenarios where the runner configuration is dynamic, or not reusable. If the runner configuration is static, it is
preferable to reuse the authentication token of an existing runner.
In GitLab 15.11 and later, you can use the [POST /user/runners REST API](../../api/users.md#create-a-runner) to create a runner as an authenticated user. This should only be used if the runner configuration is dynamic or not reusable. If the runner configuration is static, you should
reuse the authentication token of an existing runner. For more information, see [How to automate the creation of GitLab Runners](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2023/07/06/how-to-automate-creation-of-runners/).
The following snippet shows how a group runner could be created and registered with a
[Group Access Token](../../user/group/settings/group_access_tokens.md) using the new creation flow.
