Kling AI

Kling AI is Kuaishou's generative video AI platform. The Kling AI Open Platform (developer API) turns text and images into video and imagery through an asynchronous create-a-task then query-the-task workflow, covering text-to-video, image-to-video, multi-image-to-video, video extension, lip-sync, video effects, image generation (Kolors), and Kolors virtual try-on. The API authenticates with a JWT signed from an Access Key / Secret Key pair and is billed against prepaid resource packs.

Kling AI publishes 8 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Account API, Image Generation API, Image-to-Video API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Video Generation, AI Video, Generative AI, Text-to-Video, and Image-to-Video.

Kling AI’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, and 6 more developer resources.
