v2-master/image-to-video

This documentation is valid for the following list of our models:

  • klingai/v2-master-image-to-video

Model Overview

Compared to v1.6, this Kling model better aligns with the prompt and delivers more dynamic and visually appealing results.

How to Make a Call

Step-by-Step Instructions

Generating a video using this model involves sequentially calling two endpoints:

  • The first one is for creating and sending a video generation task to the server (returns a generation ID).

  • The second one is for requesting the generated video from the server using the generation ID received from the first endpoint.

Below, you can find two corresponding API schemas and an example with both endpoint calls.

API Schemas

Authorizations
Body
modelundefined · enumRequiredPossible values:
image_urlstring · uriRequired
promptstringRequired

The text prompt to guide video generation

durationinteger · enumOptional

The duration of the generated video in seconds. Possible values: 5, 10

Possible values:
negative_promptstringOptional

The description of elements to avoid in the generated video

Retrieve the generated video from the server

After sending a request for video generation, this task is added to the queue. Based on the service's load, the generation can be completed in seconds or take a bit more.

Code Example (Python)

The code below creates a video generation task, then automatically polls the server every 10 seconds until it finally receives the video URL.
