## API Information

This model can be used via our HTTP API or more conveniently via our client libraries.
See the input and output schema below, as well as the usage examples.


### Input Schema

The API accepts the following input parameters:

  Text prompt for video generation. Either prompt or multi_prompt must be provided, but not both.
  - Examples: "The craftsman slowly examines the bowl, turning it gently in his weathered hands. His eyes reflect years of wisdom. Subtle smile forms on his face. Dust particles drift in warm light. Breathing motion, blinking eyes."

- **`multi_prompt`** (`list<KlingV3MultiPromptElement>`, _optional_):
  List of prompts for multi-shot video generation. If provided, divides the video into multiple shots.
  - Array of KlingV3MultiPromptElement
  - Examples: null

- **`start_image_url`** (`string`, _required_):
  URL of the image to be used for the video
  - Examples: "https://storage.googleapis.com/falserverless/example_inputs/kling-v3/pro-i2v/start_image.png"

- **`negative_prompt`** (`string`, _optional_):
   Default value: `"blur, distort, and low quality"`
  - Default: `"blur, distort, and low quality"`

- **`cfg_scale`** (`float`, _optional_):
  The CFG (Classifier Free Guidance) scale is a measure of how close you want
  the model to stick to your prompt. Default value: `0.5`
  - Default: `0.5`
  - Range: `0` to `1`

## Usage Examples

### cURL

```bash
curl --request POST \
  --url https://fal.run/fal-ai/kling-video/v3/pro/image-to-video \
  --header "Authorization: Key $FAL_KEY" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
     "start_image_url": "https://storage.googleapis.com/falserverless/example_inputs/kling-v3/pro-i2v/start_image.png"
   }'
```

### Python

Ensure you have the Python client installed:

```bash
pip install fal-client
```

Then use the API client to make requests:

```python
import fal_client

def on_queue_update(update):
    if isinstance(update, fal_client.InProgress):
        for log in update.logs:
           print(log["message"])

result = fal_client.subscribe(
    "fal-ai/kling-video/v3/pro/image-to-video",
    arguments={
        "start_image_url": "https://storage.googleapis.com/falserverless/example_inputs/kling-v3/pro-i2v/start_image.png"
    },
    with_logs=True,
    on_queue_update=on_queue_update,
)
print(result)
```

### JavaScript

Ensure you have the JavaScript client installed:

```bash
npm install --save @fal-ai/client
```

Then use the API client to make requests:

```javascript
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

const result = await fal.subscribe("fal-ai/kling-video/v3/pro/image-to-video", {
  input: {
    start_image_url: "https://storage.googleapis.com/falserverless/example_inputs/kling-v3/pro-i2v/start_image.png"
  },
  logs: true,
  onQueueUpdate: (update) => {
    if (update.status === "IN_PROGRESS") {
      update.logs.map((log) => log.message).forEach(console.log);
    }
  },
});
console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);
```
