Bring Text to Life with OpenAI's Sora Text-to-Video API

Sora, an innovative creation from OpenAI, empowers you to generate realistic and imaginative video content directly from text descriptions. This groundbreaking API unlocks a new frontier in content creation, enabling you to produce high-quality videos without needing extensive filming or editing expertise.

Authentication:

Sora utilizes API keys for authentication. You can obtain your free API key (with usage limitations) by creating an account on the OpenAI platform. Upgraded plans offer increased usage limits, priority processing, and access to private models.

Here's a glimpse into the power of the Sora Text-to-Video API with a JavaScript example:

1. Text-to-Video Generation

  • This endpoint transforms your text descriptions into captivating video sequences.
  • Type: POST
  • JavaScript Example: (Note: Limited access as of March 29, 2024)
const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
const baseUrl = 'https://api.openai.com/v1/images/edit'; // Using images endpoint for now

const data = {
    model: 'video-instruct-v1', // Specify Sora model (potential future name)
    prompt: 'A time-lapse video of a flower blooming',
    max_length: 60, // Adjust for desired video length (in seconds)
};

const url = new URL(baseUrl);
url.searchParams.append('api_key', apiKey);

fetch(url, {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify(data),
})
    .then((response) => response.json())
    .then((data) => {
        console.log('Generated Video URL (placeholder):', data.data[0].url); // Placeholder for future functionality
    })
    .catch((error) => console.error(error));

Important Note: As of today, March 29, 2024, Sora might be under development or have limited access. The code example uses the images endpoint (with a placeholder for video URL) for demonstration purposes. Refer to OpenAI's documentation for updates on Sora's official release and API access.
