OpenAI Video Format (Sora Format)¶

Generate videos by calling the OpenAI video generation interface, supporting models like Sora, and also supporting the use of the OpenAI video format to call Kling, Jimeng, and Vidu.

Generate Video¶

API Endpoint¶

POST /v1/videos

Request Headers¶

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
Authorization	string	Yes	User Authentication Token (Bearer: sk-xxxx)

Request Parameters (multipart/form-data)¶

wanx2.1-i2v-plus: Wanxiang 2.1 Pro version, stable version
wanx2.1-i2v-turbo: Wanxiang 2.1 Turbo version

Best Practices¶

Request Format: Use multipart/form-data format, which is the official OpenAI recommended method
input_reference Parameter: Used for Image-to-Video functionality, use the @filename syntax when uploading an image file
Prompt Optimization: Use detailed and specific descriptive words, including style and quality requirements
Parameter Settings: Set duration and resolution reasonably according to requirements
Aliyun Wanxiang Special Instructions:
Direct file upload is not supported, all resources are passed via URL
Use the metadata parameter to pass all extended parameters (JSON string format)
Image-to-Video uses metadata.img_url to pass the image URL
Keyframe-to-Video uses metadata.first_frame_url and metadata.last_frame_url
Error Handling: Implement appropriate retry mechanisms and error handling
Asynchronous Processing: Video generation is an asynchronous task, requiring polling for status checks
Resource Management: Download and clean up unnecessary video files promptly

JavaScript Example¶

Using FormData (Recommended)¶

async function generateVideoWithFormData() {
  const formData = new FormData();
  formData.append('prompt', '一个穿着宇航服的宇航员在月球上行走, 高品质, 电影级');
