Result URLs and task ids expire after 24 hours.\n\n**Kling AI API.** Kling 3.0 from $0.084 a second, with audio from $0.126. Developer docs, API terms and pricing render only with JavaScript.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Alibaba Wan (Model Studio)\n\n1. Send `X-DashScope-Async: enable` on the create call or it fails, then poll GET /api/v1/tasks/{task_id} about every 15 seconds\n2. Copy the video out within 24 hours. The URL and the task id both expire\n3. Use the host from your workspace and region. A Singapore key won't work on a Beijing host\n4. Don't resubmit a slow job. Poll it. Failed jobs aren't billed, so resubmit only after FAILED\n5. Set `audio` false if you don't want sound. It's on by default for Wan 3.0\n\n### Kling AI API\n\n1. Sign a JWT (HS256) with `iss` set to your AccessKey and a 30 minute `exp`, then send it as a bearer token\n2. Generate a new key pair if you need Kling 3.0 Turbo. Older keys don't reach it\n3. Create with POST /v1/videos/text2video or /v1/videos/image2video, then poll the task id until it succeeds\n4. Take model IDs and prices from kling.ai/llms.txt. The HTML docs need JavaScript\n5. Email support@kling.ai to revoke training use of your Input. The terms don't exempt API calls\n\n## Other comparisons with Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) or Kling AI API\n\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs Google Veo](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-google-veo.md)\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs Luma AI API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-luma.md)\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs MiniMax Video API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-minimax-video.md)\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs OpenAI Sora API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-openai-sora.md)\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs Pika API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-pika.md)\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-runway.md)\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs Vidu API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-vidu.md)\n- [Google Veo vs Kling AI API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-veo-vs-kling.md)\n- [Kling AI API vs Luma AI API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/kling-vs-luma.md)\n- [Kling AI API vs MiniMax Video API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/kling-vs-minimax-video.md)\n- [Kling AI API vs OpenAI Sora API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/kling-vs-openai-sora.md)\n- [Kling AI API vs Pika API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/kling-vs-pika.md)\n- [Kling AI API vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/kling-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [Kling AI API vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/kling-vs-runway.md)\n- [Kling AI API vs Vidu API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/kling-vs-vidu.md)\n",
