Kling TTS create response missing data.task_id: {data}

Error message

Kling TTS create response missing data.task_id: {data}

What it means

Raised as KlingAPIError when the POST /v1/audio/tts response's data object has no task_id. The client considers a create without task_id unrecoverable because both the synchronous path (task_result.audios) and the polling path key off it. The full response body is embedded for diagnosis.

Solutions

  1. Read the embedded response body — it usually contains the real upstream code/message
  2. Verify KLING_API_KEY/KLING_ACCESS_KEY entitlements include audio TTS
  3. Retry once for transient soft failures
  4. If the envelope changed, update the extraction path in _execute_with_client
Defensive patterns

Strategy: try-catch

Try / catch

try:
    result = kling_tts_tool.execute(inputs)
except KlingAPIError as e:
    if "missing data.task_id" in str(e):
        logger.error("kling create envelope unexpected: %s", getattr(e, "response", None))
        raise
    raise

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: API returns an error envelope that still passed the client's status checks (code treated as success), an envelope version change moving task_id elsewhere, or data: null on a soft auth/account failure.

Common situations: Kling API version bump changing the response shape; account not entitled for TTS returning an unusual body; gateway response replaced by a different JSON structure.
