Why teams call Kling v3 (kling-v3) through APIMart
- One key, entire catalog. The same
https://api.apimart.ai/v1base URL andAuthorizationheader reach Kling v3 (kling-v3) and 300+ other image, video and language models — switch themodelfield, not your client. - Per-second billing. A job is charged for the seconds it actually generates at the resolution you picked.
- The charge comes back in the response. Every completed task reports the amount billed (
cost/credits_cost); a task markedfailedis refunded. - Async by design. Submit, take the
task_id, pollGET /v1/tasks/{id}— batching and retries are ordinary queue work, not a bespoke integration.
Kling v3 is Kuaishou's text-to-video and image-to-video model with native audio, billed per generated second.
