Kie API Alternative

ModKie is a Kie-compatible AI API platform that exposes the same async job pattern as Kie.ai: POST /api/v1/jobs/createTask to queue work and GET /api/v1/jobs/recordInfo to poll results. Developers who already integrate with Kie can point their client at https://modkie.com/api/v1 with a ModKie API key and reuse the same request/response shapes for video, image, audio, and related generation tasks.

ModKie extends the relay model with a browsable model market (100+ models), an in-browser Playground, credit balance APIs, usage logs, vision training on RunPod or Ultralytics, and registration of self-hosted HuggingFace weights back into the gateway. Credits are checked before createTask is accepted; charges apply only when recordInfo reports state=success, so failed jobs are not billed.

How ModKie compares to Kie.ai

Migration checklist

1. Create a ModKie account and generate an API key under Settings → API Keys.
2. Replace the base URL with https://modkie.com/api/v1.
3. Map Kie model IDs to ModKie catalog entries via Model Market or GET /models.
4. Keep your existing poll loop against recordInfo; handle state=fail without expecting a charge.
5. Subscribe to webhooks for production workloads.

FAQ

Is ModKie a drop-in Kie replacement?

For async generation APIs that follow createTask + recordInfo, yes. Chat completions use the separate OpenAI-compatible gateway documented at /docs/api-platform/chat.

What models are available?

Browse /market for Veo, Kling, Runway, Suno, GPT Image, Seedance, Wan, and more. Each listing links to Playground and API docs.

How does billing work?

Async jobs pre-check credits; deduction happens on success only. See pricing and the blog post ModKie pricing explained.
