What is the Kling 3 API?

The Kling 3 API is a REST interface that lets developers generate AI videos programmatically using Kuaishou's Kling 3 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 API.
