Developer docs, API terms and pricing render only with JavaScript.\n\n**Luma AI API.** Dollar prices per clip, $0.30 for 5 seconds at 720p, no credits to convert. Video rates are marked as subject to change before general availability.\n\n## Before you call either\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### Luma AI API\n\n1. Send model `ray-3.2` and type `video`, with resolution and duration inside `video`. Older model names are rejected\n2. Poll GET /v1/generations/{id} until completed or failed, then copy the presigned URL\n3. On 429, read `detail`. Rate limit exceeded means wait Retry-After, Too many concurrent jobs means wait for a job to finish\n4. Use keyframes with `keyframe_indexes` for 10 second clips. start_frame and end_frame only work at 5 seconds\n\n## Other comparisons with Kling AI API or Luma AI API\n\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs Kling AI API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-kling.md)\n- [Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) vs Luma AI API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/alibaba-wan-vs-luma.md)\n- [Google Veo vs Kling AI API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-veo-vs-kling.md)\n- [Google Veo vs Luma AI API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-veo-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- [Luma AI API vs MiniMax Video API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-minimax-video.md)\n- [Luma AI API vs OpenAI Sora API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-openai-sora.md)\n- [Luma AI API vs Pika API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-pika.md)\n- [Luma AI API vs PixVerse API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-pixverse.md)\n- [Luma AI API vs Runway API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-runway.md)\n- [Luma AI API vs Vidu API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/luma-vs-vidu.md)\n",
