FAQ

Is the Kling 4.0 API available?

Not through any host we route to as of the last build of this page. Reporting indicated a wider release in October 2026.

What can I use instead today?

Kling v3.0 (Std, Pro, 4K), Kling O3 and Kling Turbo — all in the catalog now.

Will migrating be hard?

It should not be: same endpoint and request fields. Expect a new model id and possibly new parameters for longer clips and keyframes.

How will I know when it is live?

This page's status banner is generated from the catalog. Check back, or sign up and look at the model list.

Using Kling is one part of the job.

VideoRouter puts it next to dozens of other video and image models behind one API key, so you can compare providers, prices and fail over automatically. Compare providers on VideoRouter →
