What is the Kling 3.0 API?

The Kling 3.0 API is a REST interface that lets developers generate AI videos programmatically using Kuaishou's Kling 3.0 model. It supports text-to-video, image-to-video through a single POST endpoint. VideoGenAPI handles authentication, billing, and provider infrastructure - you only need one API key to start building with the Kling 3.0 API.

FAQ

Kling 3.0 API questions

Is Kling 3 the same as Kling 2? expand_more

Kling 3 is the latest generation with improved motion coherence, visual fidelity, and prompt accuracy over Kling 2.x models.

What durations does Kling 3 support? expand_more

Kling 3 supports 5 or 10 second videos on VideoGenAPI, with 720p and 1080p resolution options.

Can I animate a product photo with Kling 3? expand_more

Yes. Use image-to-video mode with your product image and a motion prompt describing the desired animation.

How does Kling 3 compare to Veo 3? expand_more

Kling 3 excels at fluid human motion and cinematic camera work; Veo 3 Fast leads on photorealistic environments and native audio. Many teams use both for different content types. See Kling 3 vs Veo 3 vs Seedance (/blog/kling-3-vs-veo-3-vs-seedance).

How much does one Kling 3.0 API video cost? expand_more

Each Kling 3.0 generation counts as one video in your VideoGenAPI plan, whatever its length within plan limits. On Starter ($49/month for 4,500 videos) that is about $0.011 per video, with clips up to 15 seconds. Unlimited ($199/month) removes the monthly cap. Per-second video APIs bill every second of output instead, so a 10-second clip costs ten times a 1-second one.
