API Schemas

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.

Retrieve the generated video from the server

After sending a request for video generation, this task is added to the queue. This endpoint lets you check the status of a video generation task using its generation_id, obtained from the endpoint described above. If the video generation task status is complete, the response will include the final result — with the generated video URL and additional metadata.

Code Example

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

Python

import requests
import time

# Insert your AIML API Key instead of <YOUR_AIMLAPI_KEY>:
api_key = "<YOUR_AIMLAPI_KEY>"
base_url = "https://api.aimlapi.com/v2"

# Creating and sending a video generation task to the server
def generate_video():
    url = f"{base_url}/generate/video/kling/generation"
    headers = {
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}", 
    }

    data = {
        "model": "klingai/v2.5-turbo/pro/text-to-video",
        "prompt": "A cheerful white raccoon running through a sequoia forest",
        "aspect_ratio": "16:9",
        "duration": "5",
        "cfg_scale": 0.9  
    }
 
    response = requests.post(url, json=data, headers=headers)
    
    if response.status_code >= 400:
        print(f"Error: {response.status_code} - {response.text}")
    else:
        response_data = response.json()

                break
        
            status = response_data.get("status")
            print("Status:", status)

            if status == "waiting" or status == "active" or  status == "queued" or status == "generating":
                print("Still waiting... Checking again in 10 seconds.")
                time.sleep(10)
            else:
                print("Processing complete:/n", response_data)
                return response_data
