video-o1-image-to-video

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

klingai/video-o1-image-to-video

Try in Playground

A variant of Kling’s O1 omni-model that takes a reference image along with an instructional prompt as input.

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.

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 15 seconds until it finally receives the video URL.
