Kling AI uses JWT (JSON Web Token) authentication. You generate a token from your Access Key (AK) and Secret Key (SK), then pass it as a Bearer token in every request. Tokens expire after 30 minutes.

| Error | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
401 Unauthorized | Invalid/expired JWT | Regenerate token, check AK/SK |
403 Forbidden | API access not enabled | Enable API in developer console |
| JWT decode error | Wrong secret key | Verify SK matches the AK pair |
| Token expired | >30 min since generation | Implement auto-refresh (see above) |
| Clock skew error | Server time mismatch | Use nbf: now - 5 for tolerance |
