Sora Tasks API Integration and Usage

The main function of the Sora Tasks API is to query the execution status of tasks by inputting the task ID generated by the Sora Videos Generation API. This document will provide detailed integration instructions for the Sora Tasks API, helping you easily integrate and fully utilize the powerful features of this API. With the Sora Tasks API, you can easily query the execution status of tasks from the Sora Videos Generation API.

Application Process

To use Sora Videos Generation API, first open the Ace Data Cloud Console and copy your API Token.

If you are not logged in, you will be redirected to sign in and brought back to this page automatically. A single API Token works across every service on the platform — no need to subscribe per service. New accounts receive free starter credit; when it runs low you can top up your shared balance in the console.

Request Example

The Sora Tasks API can be used to query the results of the Sora Videos Generation API. For information on how to use the Sora Videos Generation API, please refer to the document Sora Videos Generation API. We will take one task ID returned by the Sora Videos Generation API as an example to demonstrate how to use this API. Suppose we have a task ID: b8976e18-32dc-4718-9ed8-1ea090fcb6ea, and we will demonstrate how to pass in a task ID.

action: The operation method for the task.

Set as shown in the image below:

Code Example

You can see that various language codes have been automatically generated on the right side of the page, as shown in the image:

Some code examples are as follows:

CURL

curl -X POST 'https://api.acedata.cloud/sora/tasks' \
-H 'accept: application/json' \
-H 'authorization: Bearer {token}' \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{
  "id": "b8976e18-32dc-4718-9ed8-1ea090fcb6ea",
  "action": "retrieve"
}'

Python

import requests

url = "https://api.acedata.cloud/sora/tasks"

headers = {
    "accept": "application/json",
    "authorization": "Bearer {token}",
    "content-type": "application/json"
}

payload = {
    "id": "b8976e18-32dc-4718-9ed8-1ea090fcb6ea",
    "action": "retrieve"
}

response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers)
print(response.text)

The returned result contains multiple fields, with the request field being the request body when the task was initiated, and the response field being the response body returned after the task is completed. The field descriptions are as follows.

id: The ID of the video task generated, used to uniquely identify this video generation task.
request: The request information in the video task.
response: The return information in the video task.

Batch Query Operation

This is for querying the details of video tasks for multiple task IDs, and unlike the above, the action needs to be selected as retrieve_batch. Request Body includes:

ids: An array of uploaded task IDs.
action: The operation method for the task.
