POST /v1/videos/text2video, get a task id, poll it. Beyond that the trail stops, because the developer docs, the API terms and the pricing page render only with JavaScript. The dossier couldn't read the parameter reference, the error codes, the rate limits or the callback_url a third-party profile mentions. The only machine-readable page is kling.ai/llms.txt, with model IDs and per-second prices. Third parties report 5 concurrent tasks on trial packages and 20 on standard, unconfirmed, and say Kling 3.0 Turbo needs newly generated keys. No status page, no changelog. The dossier points to fal, Replicate or Pika instead. Two because the create-and-poll loop exists, and every branch off it is behind a browser.

Kling 3.0 is $0.084 a second standard without audio, $0.126 with audio, $0.112 pro, $0.168 pro with audio and $0.42 at 4K, so a 10-second standard clip with audio is $1.26. Kling 2.6 is $0.21 per 5-second standard clip. Access is by prepaid resource package, separate from consumer credits, which don't work on the API. Third parties put packages from a $9.80 trial valid 30 days up to $7,560, but package sizes and expiry sit on a JavaScript-only page, so the cost of an unused balance is unchecked. There's no free API tier. Three, because the unit prices are public and the money you must lock up first, and what happens to it, aren't.
