Kling Open Platform usage lands on its own invoice. Connect with an Open Platform API key so pack usage and wallet charges show up in with your other billing datasources. This connector imports both Kling deduction ledgers. Costory stores them as one billing datasource, the same as other SaaS billing sources.
Prepaid pack lines use the list rate ($0.14 times units). Wallet lines use the cash Kling deducted (deduction_amount), with list_price kept as the pre-discount amount. A task is on one ledger only, so the two are not added together.
1

Create an Open Platform API key

In the Kling AI developer console, create an Open Platform API key. Copy it immediately. It is shown once.Do not use AccessKey + SecretKey (JWT). Costory sends Authorization: Bearer. See Kling’s Get started guide for key creation.
2

Connect in Costory

Go to Integrations, click + Add integration, then choose Kling AI under Billing. The connect URL is /integration/new/kling-ai/billing.
3

Enter connection details

Fill Connection name (default Kling AI) and API key.Region is optional. Leave it on Singapore (api-singapore.klingai.com) unless this account lives on Beijing (api-beijing.klingai.com). The wrong region looks like a bad key.Start date is optional. Leave it empty to use Costory’s default lookback.
4

Validate, then save

Click Validate. Costory calls Kling Unit Deduction Detail with Authorization: Bearer. Save stays disabled until the key can read unit deductions. An empty deduction window is still success. After save, each sync also reads Balance Deduction Detail with the same key. If this is the only billing source and it is demo data, Costory asks you to confirm before replacing it.
On first sync, Costory backfills up to 12 months of pack and wallet deductions, depending on what Kling retains. New data then follows the usual data refresh cadence. SaaS sources typically appear in about 10 minutes.

Field reference

​
What Costory includes

Costory pulls both deduction APIs and maps them into . CNY wallet charges are converted to USD with Costory’s monthly exchange rate. The original yuan amount is kept on the line. How to analyze Kling AI costs
  • Spend over time: use the same date presets as other billing sources in Explorer
  • Spend by product or SKU: group by Service name or SKU when those fields are populated from the deduction export
  • Pack usage vs wallet charges: filter the ledger label (package or balance)
What Costory does not include
  • The price paid to buy a prepaid pack (pack-tier and volume discounts)
  • Pack-name catalog (/account/costs)
  • AccessKey + SecretKey JWT auth
Rotate the API key from Integrations when you need a new credential. The stored region stays the same. A Singapore to Beijing move is a different console and key: create a new datasource.
