Request Body

{
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "effect": "rocket",
  "image": "https://example.com/image.jpg",
  "prompt": "A detailed description for the effect",
  "mode": "std",
  "replyUrl": "https://your-callback-url.com/webhook",
  "replyRef": "your-reference-id"
}

email is optional when only one account configured.
However, if you have multiple accounts configured, this parameter becomes required.
effect is required, the name of the effect to apply.
Get available effects from GET /videos/effects.
image is required, URL to the image to animate.
Image can be uploaded using POST /assets and the returned URLs can be used here.
prompt is optional, text description to guide the effect.
Some effects support custom prompts while others use default prompts. Maximum length: 2500 characters.
mode is optional, generation quality mode. Accepted values: std (standard), pro (professional).
Defaults to std. Not all effects support all modes - check the effect details from GET /videos/effects.
maxJobs is optional, range from 1 to 50.
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent jobs.
replyUrl is optional, a callback URL to receive generation progress and result.
See GET /tasks/task_id for response model.
replyRef is optional, a reference identifier for the callback.

Notes:

Different effects have different capabilities. Check the response from GET /videos/effects to see if an effect supports custom prompts and which modes are available.
Effects marked as effectSupported: false require image preprocessing and are not yet supported.
Effects with promptSupported: true accept custom prompts, while others use built-in default prompts.
The mode parameter allows selection between standard and professional quality where supported.

}

401 Unauthorized

  "error": "Unauthorized",
  "code": 401
}

404 Not Found

    "error": "Sorry, the requested resource was not found (VALID.ResourceNotFound)",
    "message": "Not Found"
}

500 Internal Server Error

Kling uses a 500 response to indicate moderation and other issues with the input. It may be hard to separate actual 500 errors from moderation errors, so use the error field text and your best judgement to tell them apart, since the message field most often has very generic and perhaps misleading text.
```
{
  "error": "The content you uploaded appears to violate the community guidelines. (CM_EXT.POther)",
  "message": "Service busy (CM_EXT.POther)"
}
```

When successful, the response includes a task ID which can be used to check the status using GET /tasks/task_id.
