Configure webhooks for Kling AI job completion notifications. Use when building event-driven video
pipelines or need real-time job status updates. Trigger with phrases like 'klingai webhook',
'kling ai callback', 'klingai notifications', 'video completion webhook'.
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
Include callback_url in your task creation request
Kling queues the task normally
When task reaches terminal state (succeed or failed), Kling POSTs the full result to your URL
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")
