API workflow

Kling is a video generation model family for creators and product teams that need flexible text-to-video and image-to-video workflows. This page brings the available Kling variants into one API-first experience so you can compare model behavior, pricing, request fields, and generated results.

Use Kling when your workflow needs cinematic motion, image-driven animation, motion control, or avatar-style video output. Choose a model version in the playground, test the output, then move the same model into your production API flow.

Capabilities

What Kling API adds to your video workflow

The page follows the same API-first structure as the reference: test the model, understand the fields, then move into integration.

Text and image to video

Generate clips from prompts or animate source images while keeping the selected Kling version, duration, and quality settings explicit.

Cinematic motion

Use Kling for dynamic camera movement, stylized action, product reveals, character shots, and short-form visual storytelling.

Multiple model variants

Switch between Kling 3.0, 2.6, 2.5 Turbo, 2.1, motion-control, and avatar variants without leaving the page.

Reference-led output

Use image or motion references where the selected model supports them, so generated clips can follow a clearer subject and scene direction.

Quick Start

From Kling test to production request

A compact integration path for teams that want to validate a Kling variant before wiring it into an app.

1. Pick a Kling model

Choose the Kling version that matches your job, such as text-to-video, image-to-video, motion control, or avatar generation.

2. Submit generation

Call the API with your account key, model id, prompt, media URLs, duration, resolution, and model-specific fields.

3. Poll and deliver

Track the task until it succeeds, then retrieve the generated video URL for your app, campaign, or production pipeline.
