Kling v3.0 Image-to-Video

Kling v3.0 Image-to-Video is Kuaishou's next-generation multimodal AI video model. Built on the unified Omni architecture, it takes static images or subject references to generate up to 15-second cinematic videos in up to 4K resolution. It features native audio-visual synchronization, multilingual lip-sync, and enhanced subject consistency to prevent visual drift, along with intelligent multi-shot control—ideal for commercial ads, film VFX, and narrative short videos.

Authentication

All API requests must be authenticated with an API Key. You can obtain an API Key from the console.

export ICREAT_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

HTTP Request Headers

import os

API_KEY = os.environ.get("ICREAT_API_KEY")
headers = {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Authorization": "Bearer " + API_KEY,
}

Protect your API Key

Never expose your API Key in client-side code or public repositories. Use environment variables or a backend proxy.

Code Examples

Image and video generation uses a three-step async flow: submit to get task_id, poll status, then fetch results when status is SUCCEEDED.

1. Submit Task

Send a generation request to the submit endpoint.

POST/v1/task/submit/kwaivgi/kling-v3-0/image-to-video

curl --fail-with-body --connect-timeout 10 --max-time 60 \
  -X POST "https://api.icreat.ai/v1/task/submit/kwaivgi/kling-v3/image-to-video" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${ICREAT_API_KEY}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "image": "https://example.com/example.png",
    "prompt": "Example multiline\ntext",
    "mode": "std",
    "duration": 4
  }'

2. Poll Status

Poll with task_id. Response contains only status.

POST/v1/task/query-status

curl --connect-timeout 10 --max-time 60 \
  -X POST "https://api.icreat.ai/v1/task/query-status" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${ICREAT_API_KEY}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "task_id": "task-xxx"
  }'

3. Get Result

Fetch output when the task succeeds.

POST/v1/task/get-result

curl --connect-timeout 10 --max-time 60 \
  -X POST "https://api.icreat.ai/v1/task/get-result" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${ICREAT_API_KEY}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "task_id": "task-xxx"
  }'

# kwaivgi/kling-v3-0/image-to-video

> Kling v3.0 Image-to-Video is Kuaishou's next-generation multimodal AI video model.

## Overview

Use the iCreat three-step async task API: submit a generation request, poll status, then fetch the video URL on success.

## API Info

- **Base URL**：`https://api.icreat.ai`
- **Submit endpoint (POST)**：`/v1/task/submit/kwaivgi/kling-v3-0/image-to-video`
- **Poll endpoint (POST)**：`/v1/task/query-status`
- **Get result endpoint (POST)**：`/v1/task/get-result`
- **Model ID**：`kwaivgi/kling-v3-0/image-to-video`
- **Auth**：`Authorization: Bearer ${ICREAT_API_KEY}`

## Call Flow

1. **Submit**: POST submit path with body per Input Notes; response `{ "task_id": "..." }`
2. **Poll**: POST `/v1/task/query-status` with `{ "task_id": "..." }`; response contains **only** `{ "status": "SUBMITTED|SUCCEEDED|FAILED" }`
3. **Get result**: when `status` is `SUCCEEDED`, POST `/v1/task/get-result`; top-level array; read `url` or `download_url` when `type` is `Video`

### Input Notes

- Request body uses top-level flat fields
- Required: `image`, `prompt`, `mode`, `duration`
- `image` (required): URL of the input image used as the visual reference or initial frame.
- `prompt` (required): The prompt used to generate the video. Chinese prompts must not exceed 2,000 characters, and English prompts must not exceed 2,000 words.
- `mode` (required): Output resolution mode. Supported values: `std`, `pro`, and `4k`.
- `duration` (required): Video duration in seconds. Accepted range: `4`–`15`.

### Output Notes

- Poll: read `status` only
- Result: top-level `[{ "type": "Video", "url": "...", "download_url": "..." }]`

## Notes

- Use the same `task_id` across all three steps; do not skip polling
- `FAILED` is terminal — check request parameters or reference media
