  • OpenAI Sora2 video generation model
  • Use model parameter to select sora-2 or sora-2-pro model
  • Supports text-to-video, image-to-video, and character reference
  • Async task management, query results by task ID
Important Change: For better performance and cost control, we no longer support passing base64 image data directly in image_urls. Please use the Upload Image API first to upload images and get URLs, then call this endpoint.
