Treat model availability, API fields, prices, policies, and limits as volatile. The facts below were verified against first-party Kling/Kuaishou sources on 2026-07-10; reopen the linked model page, billing table, update log, and terms before spending or shipping.
Keep the surface and job coherent
Ask for the delivery surface (direct API or Kling web/app), geography, task, input media, duration, aspect ratio, resolution, audio/dialogue, shot structure, audience, rights/consent, privacy needs, variant count, and approved spend.
| Surface | Use it for | Keep separate |
|---|---|---|
| Direct international API | Server workflows at https://api-singapore.klingai.com; API-key auth; per-second API billing |
Old api.klingai.com, China-host routing, consumer credits, or a reseller schema |
| Kling web/app | Interactive creation, Elements library, memberships, free/paid UI features | A promise that UI controls, credits, watermark benefits, or defaults exist in API |
kling-v3 / VIDEO 3.0 |
Prompt-led text/image/start-end generation, native audio, flexible duration, multi-shot | Omni video editing/reference inputs |
kling-v3-omni / VIDEO 3.0 Omni |
Reference-driven generation, video/reference inputs, Elements, editing, native audio, multi-shot | Kling Image 3.0 Omni or Kolors |
kling-3.0-turbo |
Current faster, scale-oriented 3.0 option with native audio | An assumption that every 3.0 or Omni field is accepted unchanged |
| Motion Control | Transfer one driving performance to a referenced character | Avatar, lip-sync, face recognition, or standalone audio APIs |
FACT: The current API documentation requires the new API-key format for all models. Legacy AccessKey/SecretKey JWT credentials remain valid only for 3.0-and-earlier access and do not unlock new models. Use a server-side KLING_API_KEY; never expose it in a browser or mobile client. The current international host is Singapore, while China deployments have a different Beijing host. Do not select a host as a data-residency guarantee. Authentication
