Checklist covering authentication, error handling, cost controls, monitoring, security, and content policy before deploying Kling AI video generation to production.

Cost Controls
Daily credit budget enforced in code
Alert at 80% daily budget consumption
standard mode used for non-final renders
Max poll attempts cap (no infinite loops)
Credit estimate before batch submission
# Pre-batch credit check
credits_needed = len(prompts) * 10 # 10 credits per 5s standard
if credits_needed > DAILY_BUDGET:
raise RuntimeError(f"Batch needs {credits_needed}, budget is {DAILY_BUDGET}")
Task Management
All task_ids logged with timestamp
Stuck task detection (>10 min in processing)

Content Safety
Prompts validated before API submission
User-generated prompts sanitized
Default negative prompt includes safety terms
Content moderation on user-facing apps
Policy violation errors handled gracefully
Security
API keys never logged (redacted in debug output)
Video URLs treated as temporary (store on own CDN)
from kling_client import KlingClient
c = KlingClient()
result = c.text_to_video("test: blue sky with clouds", duration=5, mode="standard")
assert result["videos"][0]["url"], "No video URL"
print("READY FOR PRODUCTION")
