# Kling AI Video Extension

## Overview

Extend an existing video by appending additional seconds. The extension endpoint takes the `task_id` of a completed video and generates a seamless continuation.

**Endpoint:** `POST https://api.klingai.com/v1/videos/video-extend`

## Request Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `task_id` | string | Yes | Task ID of the completed source video |
| `prompt` | string | No | Motion/scene description for extension |
| `duration` | string | No | Extension length: `"5"` (default) |
| `mode` | string | No | `"standard"` or `"professional"` |
| `model_name` | string | No | Default: `"kling-v2-master"` |
| `callback_url` | string | No | Webhook for completion |

## Basic Extension

```python
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"}

# Step 1: Generate the initial 5s video
initial = requests.post(f"{BASE}/videos/text2video", headers=get_headers(), json={
    "model_name": "kling-v2-master",
    "prompt": "A rocket launching from a desert landscape, cinematic",
    "duration": "5",
    "mode": "standard",
}).json()
initial_task_id = initial["data"]["task_id"]

# Wait for completion...
# (poll until task_status == "succeed")

# Step 2: Extend by 5 more seconds
extension = requests.post(f"{BASE}/videos/video-extend", headers=get_headers(), json={
    "task_id": initial_task_id,
    "prompt": "The rocket ascends through clouds into the stratosphere",
    "duration": "5",
    "mode": "standard",
}).json()
ext_task_id = extension["data"]["task_id"]

# Step 3: Poll extension task
while True:
    time.sleep(15)
    result = requests.get(
        f"{BASE}/videos/video-extend/{ext_task_id}", headers=get_headers()
    ).json()
    if result["data"]["task_status"] == "succeed":
        extended_url = result["data"]["task_result"]["videos"][0]["url"]
        print(f"Extended video: {extended_url}")
        break
    elif result["data"]["task_status"] == "failed":
        print(f"Failed: {result['data']['task_status_msg']}")
        break
```

## Chain Multiple Extensions

```python
def chain_extensions(initial_task_id: str, prompts: list[str],
                     duration: str = "5", mode: str = "standard") -> list[str]:
    """Chain multiple extensions to build a longer video."""
    current_task_id = initial_task_id
    video_urls = []

for i, prompt in enumerate(prompts):
        print(f"Extension {i + 1}/{len(prompts)}: submitting...")

# Submit extension
        r = requests.post(f"{BASE}/videos/video-extend", headers=get_headers(), json={
            "task_id": current_task_id,
            "prompt": prompt,
            "duration": duration,
            "mode": mode,
        }).json()
        ext_task_id = r["data"]["task_id"]

# Poll for completion
        while True:
            time.sleep(15)
            result = requests.get(
                f"{BASE}/videos/video-extend/{ext_task_id}", headers=get_headers()
            ).json()
            status = result["data"]["task_status"]

if status == "succeed":
                url = result["data"]["task_result"]["videos"][0]["url"]
                video_urls.append(url)
                current_task_id = ext_task_id  # next extension chains from this
                print(f"Extension {i + 1} complete: {url}")
                break
            elif status == "failed":
                raise RuntimeError(f"Extension {i + 1} failed: {result['data']['task_status_msg']}")

return video_urls
```

## Usage: Build a 20-Second Video

```python
# Generate initial 5s
initial_r = requests.post(f"{BASE}/videos/text2video", headers=get_headers(), json={
    "model_name": "kling-v2-master",
    "prompt": "Morning sunrise over a mountain lake, mist rising",
    "duration": "5",
    "mode": "standard",
}).json()
initial_id = initial_r["data"]["task_id"]
# ... poll until complete ...

# Chain 3 more extensions = 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20 seconds total
extensions = chain_extensions(initial_id, [
    "Sun rises higher, birds begin flying across the lake",
    "A deer approaches the water's edge to drink",
    "Wide shot pulling back to reveal the full mountain range",
])
```

## Cost

Each extension costs the same as a new generation:

| Extension Duration | Standard | Professional |
|-------------------|----------|-------------|
| 5 seconds | 10 credits | 35 credits |

A 20-second video (initial + 3 extensions) costs 40 credits in standard mode.

## Error Handling

| Error | Cause | Fix |
|-------|-------|-----|
| Invalid `task_id` | Source task doesn't exist | Verify task_id is from a completed generation |
| Source not complete | Extending a task still processing | Wait for source task to reach `succeed` status |
| Extension failed | Prompt conflict with source | Align extension prompt with original scene |
