Kling AI Webhook Configuration

Overview

Instead of polling task status, pass a callback_url when creating a task. Kling AI will POST the completed task result to your URL when generation finishes. This eliminates polling overhead and reduces API calls.

Supported on: All video generation endpoints (text2video, image2video, video-extend, lip-sync, effects)

How It Works

  1. Include callback_url in your task creation request
  2. Kling queues the task normally
  3. When task reaches terminal state (succeed or failed), Kling POSTs the full result to your URL
  4. Your webhook handler processes the result

Sending a Task with Callback

import jwt, time, os, requests

BASE = "https://api.klingai.com/v1"

def get_headers():
    ak, sk = os.environ["KLING_ACCESS_KEY"], os.environ["KLING_SECRET_KEY"]
    token = jwt.encode(
        {"iss": ak, "exp": int(time.time()) + 1800, "nbf": int(time.time()) - 5},
        sk, algorithm="HS256", headers={"alg": "HS256", "typ": "JWT"}
    )
    return {"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}", "Content-Type": "application/json"}

# Create task with callback
response = requests.post(f"{BASE}/videos/text2video", headers=get_headers(), json={
    "model_name": "kling-v2-master",
    "prompt": "A futuristic city skyline at night with neon lights",
    "duration": "5",
    "mode": "standard",
    "callback_url": "https://your-app.com/webhooks/kling",  # your endpoint
})

task_id = response.json()["data"]["task_id"]
print(f"Task {task_id} submitted with callback -- no polling needed")

Webhook Receiver (Flask)

from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
import hmac
import hashlib
import json

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/webhooks/kling", methods=["POST"])
def kling_webhook():
    payload = request.get_json()

    task_id = payload["data"]["task_id"]
    status = payload["data"]["task_status"]

    if status == "succeed":
        video_url = payload["data"]["task_result"]["videos"][0]["url"]
        print(f"Task {task_id} complete: {video_url}")
        # Download video, store to S3, notify user, etc.
        process_completed_video(task_id, video_url)
    elif status == "failed":
        error = payload["data"].get("task_status_msg", "Unknown error")
        print(f"Task {task_id} failed: {error}")
        handle_failure(task_id, error)

    return jsonify({"received": True}), 200

Webhook Receiver (Express.js)

import express from "express";
const app = express();
app.use(express.json());

app.post("/webhooks/kling", (req, res) => {
  const { data } = req.body;
  const { task_id, task_status } = data;

  if (task_status === "succeed") {
    const videoUrl = data.task_result.videos[0].url;
    console.log(`Task ${task_id} complete: ${videoUrl}`);
    processVideo(task_id, videoUrl);
  } else if (task_status === "failed") {
    console.error(`Task ${task_id} failed: ${data.task_status_msg}`);
  }

  res.json({ received: true });
});

app.listen(3000);

Callback Payload Shape

{
  "code": 0,
  "message": "success",
  "data": {
    "task_id": "abc123...",
    "task_status": "succeed",
    "task_status_msg": "",
    "task_result": {
      "videos": [{
        "id": "vid_001",
        "url": "https://cdn.klingai.com/...",
        "duration": "5.0"
      }]
    }
  }
}

Webhook Reliability Pattern

import time
from collections import defaultdict

class WebhookManager:
    """Track webhook delivery and fall back to polling on failure."""

    def __init__(self, poll_fallback_sec: int = 300):
        self.pending = {}  # task_id -> submission_time
        self.poll_fallback_sec = poll_fallback_sec

    def register(self, task_id: str):
        self.pending[task_id] = time.time()

    def mark_received(self, task_id: str):
        self.pending.pop(task_id, None)

    def get_stale_tasks(self) -> list:
        """Tasks that haven't received a callback within threshold."""
        now = time.time()
        return [tid for tid, submitted in self.pending.items()
                if now - submitted > self.poll_fallback_sec]

    def fallback_poll(self, client):
        """Poll stale tasks that missed their callback."""
        for task_id in self.get_stale_tasks():
            try:
                result = client._get(f"/videos/text2video/{task_id}")
                status = result["data"]["task_status"]
                if status in ("succeed", "failed"):
                    self.mark_received(task_id)
                    return result
            except Exception:
                pass
