Kling API v1

April 18, 2025 (July 25, 2025)

This is an experimental API for Kling AI, a generative artificial intelligence service developed by Chinese short video giant Kuaishou Technology.

Kling AI is considered by many to be the best AI model, leading the pack with prompt adherence, video quality and unmatched consistency.

Our API support Kling models 1.5, 1.6, 2.0 and 2.1 with optional audio generation for enhanced video experiences.

In contrast to the official Kling API, which starts at $1,400/month (Video Generation) and requires a 3-month subscription commitment, you can start using the API with a Free or $10/month Standard plan and upgrade or top up your account as needed.

As a bonus, you can execute an unlimited number of face detections via POST /images/recognize-faces. Theses features are available for all Kling subscription plans, including the free one.
