Introduction

The Sora 2 API is a cutting-edge tool for generating short, richly detailed videos complete with synced audio, directly from text or images. This guide unpacks what it does, how it’s used, and the fastest way to try it via JuheAPI/Wisdom Gate.

What Is Sora 2 API?

A New Generation of AI Video Tools

The Sora 2 API combines advanced media generation capabilities: producing video and audio in sync, creating dynamic clips from natural-language descriptions or visual inputs.

Key Features of Sora 2

Guest Mode Character IDs

You can reference publicly authorized character IDs from the Sora.com site in prompts using the @id format. For example: @sama will insert that character into your video.

Output Quality Levels

  • Pro: Generates 15-second 1080p videos without watermarks.

Prompt Types

  • Text to Video: Describe your scene in plain language.

Streaming Output

Responses can be streamed in real time, letting you preview progress as your video is generated.
