Sora 2 API Guide

Sora 2 API for video generation workflows

Use Sora 2 through APIXO to test prompts in the Playground, inspect demos, compare pricing, and move the same settings into production API calls.

Sora 2 workflow

Build and ship Sora 2 API workflows from one page

This Sora 2 landing page is designed for teams that want to evaluate output quality, compare pricing, create API keys, and hand tested settings into production code from the same workflow.

Sora 2 prompt testing

Use the Sora 2 playground to test prompts, mode choices, and output settings before moving a request into production.

Sora 2 demo review

Inspect real or placeholder video outputs first, then load the same demo parameters into the Playground for faster iteration.

Sora 2 API handoff

Move from visual testing to API keys, cURL examples, request JSON, and documentation without leaving this model page.

Sora 2 pricing clarity

Compare available pricing tiers on the same page before choosing a cost profile for production jobs.

Sora 2 input control

Adjust image, video, or motion references directly in the Playground so the tested form matches the documented API surface.

Sora 2 production readiness

Use APIXO when async polling, callback delivery, generation history, and predictable billing matter for team workflows.

Model Overview

What is the Sora 2 API?

Sora 2 is available through APIXO as a production API for video generation. The model page combines playground testing, real request parameters, pricing, and documentation handoff in one workflow.

Use this page to validate prompts and mode choices first, then keep the same settings for API keys, cURL examples, backend integration, and repeatable generation jobs.

Sora 2 API workflow for production teams

Start with the Playground and choose the mode that matches your input assets.
Review example outputs and load demo parameters when you need a quick baseline.
Check pricing before sending large batches or higher-resolution jobs.
Use async polling for interactive UX or callback mode for backend queues.

Key Sora 2 capabilities

Sora 2 video generation

Use Sora 2 for Text-to-video and image-to-video workflows with Playground controls aligned to the public API docs.

Sora 2 reference control

Upload supported reference assets where available, then reuse the same settings in generated API examples.

Sora 2 async delivery

Plan around long-running generation with recommended polling and callback-ready production integration.

What can you build with Sora 2?

Sora 2 product videos

Create product reveals, ecommerce ads, launch clips, and campaign motion assets with reusable API parameters.

Sora 2 social creative

Generate short videos for social channels and iterate quickly across prompt, duration, resolution, and ratio settings.

Sora 2 storyboard workflows

Use text prompts and references to validate scenes, shots, and motion ideas before committing production budget.

Sora 2 notes & limitations

Prompt length must be between 1 and 10000 characters.
Image-to-video requires exactly one public image URL.
Supported durations are 4, 8, and 12 seconds.
Supported aspect ratios are landscape and portrait.
Generation can take 2-6 minutes depending on duration, prompt complexity, route, and queue load.
