KlingAI’s most advanced text-to-video model as of September 2025.

## Setup your API Key

If you don’t have an API key for the AI/ML API yet, feel free to use our [Quickstart guide](https://docs.aimlapi.com/quickstart/setting-up).

## How to Make a Call

<details>

<summary>Step-by-Step Instructions</summary>

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 both corresponding API schemas.

</details>

## API Schemas

{% hint style="success" %}
Now, all of our API schemas for video models use our new universal short URL — `https://api.aimlapi.com/v2/video/generations`.\
However, you can still call this model using the legacy URL that includes the vendor name.
{% endhint %}

### Create a video generation task and send it to the server

## POST /v2/video/generations

>

```json
{"openapi":"3.0.0","info":{"title":"AIML API","version":"1.0.0"},"servers":[{"url":"https://api.aimlapi.com"}],"paths":{"/v2/video/generations":{"post":{"operationId":"_v2_video_generations","requestBody":{"required":true,"content":{"application/json":{"schema":{"type":"object","properties":{"model":{"type":"string","enum":["klingai/v2.5-turbo/pro/text-to-video"]},"prompt":{"type":"string","description":"The text description of the scene, subject, or action to generate in the video."},"duration":{"type":"integer","description":"The length of the output video in seconds.","enum":[5,10],"default":"5"},"negative_prompt":{"type":"string","description":"The description of elements to avoid in the generated video."},"cfg_scale":{"type":"number","minimum":0,"maximum":1,"description":"The CFG (Classifier Free Guidance) scale is a measure of how close you want the model to stick to your prompt."},"aspect_ratio":{"type":"string","enum":["16:9","9:16","1:1"],"description":"The aspect ratio of the generated video."}},"required":["model","prompt"],"title":"klingai/v2.5-turbo/pro/text-to-video"}}}},"responses":{"200":{"content":{"application/json":{"schema":{"type":"object","properties":{"id":{"type":"string","description":"The ID of the generated video."},"status":{"type":"string","enum":["queued","generating","completed","error"],"description":"The current status of the generation task."},"video":{"type":"object","nullable":true,"properties":{"url":{"type":"string","format":"uri","description":"The URL where the file can be downloaded from."}},"required":["url"]},"error":{"type":"object","nullable":true,"properties":{"name":{"type":"string"},"message":{"type":"string"}},"required":["name","message"],"description":"Description of the error, if any."},"meta":{"type":"object","nullable":true,"properties":{"usage":{"type":"object","nullable":true,"properties":{"credits_used":{"type":"number","description":"The number of tokens consumed during generation."}},"required":["credits_used"]}},"description":"Additional details about the generation."}},"required":["id","status"]}}}}}}}}}
```

### 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 `id`, obtained from the endpoint described above.\
If the video generation task status is `completed`, the response will include the final result — with the generated video URL and additional metadata.

## GET /v2/video/generations

```json
{"openapi":"3.0.0","info":{"title":"AIML API","version":"1.0.0"},"servers":[{"url":"https://api.aimlapi.com"}],"security":[{"access-token":[]}],"components":{"securitySchemes":{"access-token":{"scheme":"bearer","bearerFormat":"<YOUR_AIMLAPI_KEY>","type":"http","description":"Bearer key","in":"header"}}},"paths":{"/v2/video/generations":{"get":{"operationId":"_v2_video_generations","parameters":[{"name":"generation_id","required":true,"in":"query","schema":{"type":"string"}}],"responses":{"200":{"content":{"application/json":{"schema":{"type":"object","properties":{"id":{"type":"string","description":"The ID of the generated video."},"status":{"type":"string","enum":["queued","generating","completed","error"],"description":"The current status of the generation task."},"video":{"type":"object","nullable":true,"properties":{"url":{"type":"string","format":"uri","description":"The URL where the file can be downloaded from."}},"required":["url"]},"error":{"type":"object","nullable":true,"properties":{"name":{"type":"string"},"message":{"type":"string"}},"required":["name","message"],"description":"Description of the error, if any."},"meta":{"type":"object","nullable":true,"properties":{"usage":{"type":"object","nullable":true,"properties":{"credits_used":{"type":"number","description":"The number of tokens consumed during generation."}},"required":["credits_used"]}},"description":"Additional details about the generation."}},"required":["id","status"]}}}}}}}}}
```

## 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.
