Understanding Sora 2 API

Sora 2 is a next-generation media generation model capable of producing videos with synchronized audio and rich motion cues. It supports text, image, and combined prompts for flexible creation.

Prerequisites & Tier Access

  • Free Tier: Access basic functions, limited to preview outputs.
  • Tier 2 Upgrade: Requires $10 top-up, unlocking the Sora 2 series models.
  • API Endpoint: v1/chat/completions.
  • Prompt Placement: Write your prompt in the content field of the request.

Key Features Overview

Guest Mode Usage

You can reference public character IDs listed on Sora.com via the @id format. Example: @sama in your prompt.

Aspect Ratio Control

Switch between output formats:

  • horizontal: Landscape.
  • vertical: Portrait. Include the keyword directly in your prompt.

Output Quality Levels & Pricing

  • Standard (sora-2): 10s, 720p, $0.20 per video.
  • Pro (sora-2-pro): 15s, 1080p, $1.00 per video.

All outputs are watermark-free.

Setting Up Your Dev Environment

  1. Sign up for a JuheAPI account.
  2. Ensure your token and Tier level are ready.
  3. Install required libraries (Node.js or Python requests).
  4. Prepare a test frontend for sending prompts.

Text-to-Video Demo

Example request to create a short clip from text:

{
  "model": "sora-2",
  "stream": true,
  "messages": [ { "role": "user", "content": "A girl walking on the street." } ]
}

Response will return a streaming link to the generated video.

Image-to-Video Demo with JuheAPI

For Pro tier, you can combine text and image:

{
  "model": "sora-2",
  "stream": true,
  "messages": [ {
    "role": "user",
    "content": [
      { "text": "A girl walking on the street.", "type": "text" },
      { "image_url": { "url": "https://juheapi.com/cdn/20250603/k0kVgLClcJyhH3Pybb5AInvsLptmQV.png" }, "type": "image_url" }
    ]
  } ]
}

This blends visual input with descriptive text to produce dynamic AI video.

Full-Stack Integration Steps

Frontend Prompt Handling

  • Capture user text and optional image URL.
  • Validate aspect ratio keyword inclusion.

Backend API Calls

  • Send properly structured JSON to the v1/chat/completions endpoint.

  • Tier Access Error: Confirm Tier 2 upgrade for HD and Pro.
  • Malformed Prompt: Match type fields exactly.

Scaling Your App

  • Cache frequent video requests.
  • Optimize streaming performance with CDN.
  • Parallelize batch generation for heavy loads.

Monetizing with AI Video Content
