# Kling LipSync Text-to-Video API

> Makes a person in a video speak typed text using a selectable synthetic voice, with adjustable speed

Generates lip-synced speech from text instead of an audio file. Provide `video_url`, up to 120 characters of `text`, and a `voice_id` chosen from a list of preset voices. `voice_language` is either zh or en, and `voice_speed` ranges from 0.8 to 2. The source video can be .mp4 or .mov, up to 100MB, 2 to 60 seconds, at 720p or 1080p.

- Model id: `kling-video/lipsync/text-to-video`
- Made by: Kling
- Category: Lipsync & Avatars
- Output: video
- Price per second of your input video: $0.014 / second of input video (cheapest run $0.014 (14 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/kling-video/lipsync/text-to-video`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/kling-video/lipsync/text-to-video`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/developers/models/kling-video/lipsync/text-to-video

## Pricing

Price: **$0.014 / second of input video**. Price per second of your input video: the input files are measured before the run (length, resolution, frame rate). The quote measures the same files and is exactly what the run charges.

The full example input below costs $0.14 = 140 API credits (10 s input video × $0.014).

Prices are the upstream price in USD, paid from the API balance in API credits (1000 API credits = 1 USD). `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/kling-video/lipsync/text-to-video` with the same JSON body returns the exact price for that input; the quote is exactly what a run charges. Invalid input is never charged and failed or canceled requests are refunded automatically.

## Input parameters

Send either the canonical name or the native field name (not both). Canonical names are the same across models.

| Parameter | Canonical name | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values / range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | Safety checks can be disabled only with account authorization; requests without authorization always undergo checking. |
| `video_url` | `video` | string (video URL) | yes |  |  | Video URL for lip-sync generation. Accepts .mp4 or .mov files up to 100MB, lasting 2–60s, at 720p or 1080p only; both dimensions must fall within 720–1920px. Validation failure returns an error. |
| `text` |  | string | yes |  | ≤ 120 characters | Text used to generate a lip-sync video, limited to 120 characters. |
| `voice_id` |  | enum (string) | yes |  | `genshin_vindi2`, `zhinen_xuesheng`, `AOT`, `ai_shatang`, `genshin_klee2`, `genshin_kirara`, `ai_kaiya`, `oversea_male1`, `ai_chenjiahao_712`, `girlfriend_4_speech02`, `chat1_female_new-3`, `chat_0407_5-1`, `cartoon-boy-07`, `uk_boy1`, `cartoon-girl-01`, `PeppaPig_platform`, `ai_huangzhong_712`, `ai_huangyaoshi_712`, `ai_laoguowang_712`, `chengshu_jiejie`, `you_pingjing`, `calm_story1`, `uk_man2`, `laopopo_speech02`, `heainainai_speech02`, `reader_en_m-v1`, `commercial_lady_en_f-v1`, `tiyuxi_xuedi`, `tiexin_nanyou`, `girlfriend_1_speech02`, `girlfriend_2_speech02`, `zhuxi_speech02`, `uk_oldman3`, `dongbeilaotie_speech02`, `chongqingxiaohuo_speech02`, `chuanmeizi_speech02`, `chaoshandashu_speech02`, `ai_taiwan_man2_speech02`, `xianzhanggui_speech02`, `tianjinjiejie_speech02`, `diyinnansang_DB_CN_M_04-v2`, `yizhipiannan-v1`, `guanxiaofang-v2`, `tianmeixuemei-v1`, `daopianyansang-v1`, `mengwa-v1` | Identifier of the voice used to synthesize speech. |
| `voice_language` |  | enum (string) | no | `en` | `zh`, `en` | Language associated with the selected Voice ID. |
| `voice_speed` |  | number | no | `1` | 0.8 – 2 | Speaking speed used when generating video from text. |

File parameters (`video`) take a public `https://` URL, a `data:` URI up to 10 MB, or the `file_url` of an upload from `POST /files`.

## Example input

Required parameters only:

```json
{
  "video": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
  "text": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field",
  "voice_id": "genshin_vindi2"
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
  "text": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field",
  "voice_id": "genshin_vindi2"
}
```

## Run it

Set `DOITONG_API_KEY` to a key from https://doitong.com/developers/dashboard#keys. `?wait=20` returns the finished request in the same call when it is ready within 20 seconds; otherwise poll `GET /requests/{id}` (it also accepts `?wait=`), or pass `webhook_url`.

### curl

```bash
# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
curl -X POST "https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/kling-video/lipsync/text-to-video?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
    "text": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field",
    "voice_id": "genshin_vindi2"
  }'

# Still "queued" or "running"? Poll with the id from the response:
curl "https://api.doitong.com/v1/requests/REQUEST_ID?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY"
```

### JavaScript

```javascript
const API = "https://api.doitong.com/v1";
const headers = {
  "Authorization": "Bearer " + process.env.DOITONG_API_KEY,
  "Content-Type": "application/json",
};

// Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
let res = await fetch(API + "/run/kling-video/lipsync/text-to-video?wait=20", {

    "voice_id": "genshin_vindi2"
  }),
});
let request = await res.json();
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(request.error.code + ": " + request.error.message);

// Not finished yet: long-poll until it is
while (request.status === "queued" || request.status === "running") {
  res = await fetch(API + "/requests/" + request.id + "?wait=20", { headers });
  request = await res.json();
}
if (request.status !== "succeeded") throw new Error(JSON.stringify(request.error));
console.log(request.outputs.map((o) => o.url), request.cost.credits + " API credits ($" + request.cost.usd + ")");
```

### Python

```python
import os
import requests

API = "https://api.doitong.com/v1"
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + os.environ["DOITONG_API_KEY"]}

payload = {
    "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
    "text": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field",
    "voice_id": "genshin_vindi2",
}

# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
r = requests.post(API + "/run/kling-video/lipsync/text-to-video", params={"wait": 20}, json=payload, headers=headers)
request = r.json()
if not r.ok:
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"]["code"] + ": " + request["error"]["message"])

# Not finished yet: long-poll until it is
while request["status"] in ("queued", "running"):
    request = requests.get(API + "/requests/" + request["id"], params={"wait": 20}, headers=headers).json()
if request["status"] != "succeeded":
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"])
print([o["url"] for o in request["outputs"]], request["cost"]["credits"], "API credits", "$" + request["cost"]["usd"])
```

### MCP

The MCP server at `https://api.doitong.com/v1/mcp` exposes the tools `search_models`, `get_model`, `quote`, `run`, `get_request`, `cancel_request`, `list_requests`, `create_upload` and `get_account`. A `run` call for this model:

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "run",
    "arguments": {
      "model_id": "kling-video/lipsync/text-to-video",
      "input": {
        "video_url": "https://content.doitong.com/video/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.mp4",
        "text": "A red fox trots through fresh snow at sunrise, soft golden light, shallow depth of field",
        "voice_id": "genshin_vindi2"
      },
      "wait_seconds": 20
    }
  }
}
```

## Response

Every call returns a request object. `status` is one of `queued`, `running`, `succeeded`, `failed`, `canceled`. `outputs` lists the generated files with URLs on our storage (kept forever, or 7 days with `?storage=temporary`; `storage` says which); `output` is the model's own result object with the same URLs.
