Kling API

April 18, 2025 (October 28, 2026)

This is a third-party API for Kling AI by Kuaishou Technology. It uses your Kling AI subscription: Free, Standard $8.80, Pro $32.56, Premier from $80.96 or Ultra+ $544.99 a month, with up to 26% off the first month (as of October 2026). It makes video with Kling 4.0, 3.0 and Omni, plus images, talking avatars, lip-sync and motion control, through a REST API and a hosted MCP server. Kling 4.0 runs through this API too, at $0.68 for a 5-second 1080p video on Premier, against $1.15 on Kling’s own developer API. On Premier, a 5-second 1080p Kling 3.0 video with sound uses $0.61 of the plan’s monthly credits, against $0.84 a video on Kling’s own API.

MCP server

The hosted Kling MCP server gives Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and other AI assistants 45 tools for Kling video, images, avatars, lip-sync, elements and voices, with your useapi.net API token and nothing to install. The kling-api repo also adds it in one step as a Claude Code plugin or a Gemini CLI extension.

Pricing

What one video costs on Kling’s developer API and on each Kling AI subscription (as of October 2026). Each subscription comes with a monthly number of credits, and each video uses a set number of them, so a video costs its share of the subscription.

Start using the API

A single $15/month subscription covers every API on useapi.net — one token, all services. You connect up to 3 accounts per service, each with its own website subscription, and useapi.net handles the REST API, load balancing, and polling. Need more accounts? Each extra subscription is $10/month and adds 3 more accounts per service.

Subscribe — $15/month Pay with crypto

Pricing and volume options — full refund within the first 14 days if you have fewer than 50 successful generations. Already subscribed? Change the quantity in the Stripe Customer Portal instead of buying again.

Run several Kling accounts

Video and image requests don’t need email: each job goes to one of your accounts that has a free job slot, within the maxJobs limit (1 to 50) you set for each account with POST accounts. When every account is busy you get 429, so wait and send it again. Pass email to run a job on a specific account, and to read that account’s tasks, assets and voices (GET tasks/task_id explains how to find which account ran a job).

A ready-made n8n Google Sheet queue spreads Kling 4.0 jobs across your accounts this way.

Every generation request can also send its progress and result to your webhook (what it sends), so you don’t have to poll while a video takes a few minutes.

Questions

Is there a Kling 4.0 API?

Through useapi.net, yes, on your Kling AI subscription: $0.137 a second at 1080p on Kling Premier, in text-to-video, image-to-video with keyframes and Omni. Kling’s own developer API charges $0.231 a second at 1080p, in prepaid packs from $500 (as of October 28, 2026). Step by step: the Kling 4.0 tutorial.

How much does the Kling API cost?

Through useapi.net, a 5-second Kling 3.0 video at 1080p with sound costs $0.65 on Kling’s Pro subscription, against about $0.84 on Kling’s developer API, which also needs a prepaid video pack from $700 (as of October 2026). The price table shows each model on each subscription.

Do I need a Kling API key?

Through useapi.net, you use our API token, not a Kling developer key, and connect your Kling account once through Setup Kling. A free account runs text-to-speech and face detection. Videos need a paid subscription. Kling’s developer API needs a separate developer account and its own key instead.

Is there a Kling motion control API?

Through useapi.net, yes, on Kling 3.0 and 2.6 with your Kling AI subscription: POST videos/motion-create moves a character image like the person in a reference video. A 5-second Kling 3.0 motion control video costs $0.49 on Kling’s Pro subscription (as of October 2026), and the motion control example shows the results.
