Kling on RunAPI
Generate and edit video with Kling through RunAPI. The default path for one-off agent tasks is the runapi CLI; SDKs are for application integration.
Routing decision
- One-off generation, editing, or transformation for the user → use the CLI path with the
runapibinary. - Building an app, backend, worker, library, or production codebase → use the SDK integration path.
CLI path
The runapi binary is the runtime dependency. Authenticate with runapi login (browser) or set RUNAPI_API_KEY; a saved CLI config also works — no required environment variable.
Inspect the available actions and request fields with CLI help:
runapi kling --help
runapi kling text-to-video --help
Run a one-off task (synchronous — polls until the task completes):
runapi kling text-to-video --input-file request.json
Submit asynchronously and poll separately:
runapi kling text-to-video --async --input-file request.json
runapi wait \x3Ctask-id> --service kling --action text-to-video
Available actions: text-to-video, avatar, image-to-video, motion-control.
SDK integration path
When integrating Kling into an app, backend, worker, or library — not for one-off tasks — use a RunAPI SDK package:
- JavaScript / TypeScript:
@runapi.ai/kling - Ruby:
runapi-kling - Go:
github.com/runapi-ai/kling-sdk/go

Variants
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install runapi-kling - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/runapi-kling - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
