API Documentation and Examples

Sora API Quick Start Guide

Getting Started:

  1. Sign up for API access
  2. Get your API credentials
  3. Review documentation
  4. Make your first API call
  5. Build your integration

Authentication:

import requests

api_key = "your_api_key_here"
headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

Basic Video Generation:

url = "https://api.viralwavestudio.com/v1/video/generate"
data = {
    "prompt": "Your video description here",
    "duration": 10,
    "style": "professional"
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)
result = response.json()

Code Examples

Python Example - Bulk Video Generation

import requests
import time

def generate_videos(prompts, api_key):
    url = "https://api.viralwavestudio.com/v1/video/generate"
    headers = {
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}",
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
    
    videos = []
    for prompt in prompts:
        data = {
            "prompt": prompt,
            "duration": 10,
            "style": "professional"
        }
        
        response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)
        if response.status_code == 200:
            videos.append(response.json())
        else:
            print(f"Error generating video: {response.text}")
        
        time.sleep(1)  # Rate limiting
    
    return videos

JavaScript Example - Video Generation

async function generateVideo(prompt, apiKey) {
  const url = 'https://api.viralwavestudio.com/v1/video/generate';
  
  const response = await fetch(url, {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      prompt: prompt,
      duration: 10,
      style: 'professional'
    })
  });
  
  const data = await response.json();
  return data;
}

Node.js Example - Async Bulk Generation

const axios = require('axios');

async function bulkGenerateVideos(prompts, apiKey) {
  const url = 'https://api.viralwavestudio.com/v1/video/generate';
  const videos = [];
  
  for (const prompt of prompts) {
    try {
      const response = await axios.post(url, {
        prompt: prompt,
        duration: 10,
        style: 'professional'
      }, {
        headers: {
          'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
          'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        }
      });
      
      videos.push(response.data);
      await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000)); // Rate limiting
    } catch (error) {
      console.error(`Error generating video: ${error.message}`);
    }
  }
  
  return videos;
}

API Integration Patterns

Error Handling Pattern

def generate_video_with_retry(prompt, api_key, max_retries=3):
    url = "https://api.viralwavestudio.com/v1/video/generate"
    headers = {
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}",
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
    
    for attempt in range(max_retries):
        try:
            response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json={"prompt": prompt})
            response.raise_for_status()
            return response.json()
        except requests.exceptions.HTTPError as e:
            if e.response.status_code == 429:  # Rate limit
                time.sleep(2 ** attempt)  # Exponential backoff
            else:
                raise
        except Exception as e:
            if attempt == max_retries - 1:
                raise
            time.sleep(2 ** attempt)
    
    return None

Webhook Integration Pattern

from flask import Flask, request

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/webhook', methods=['POST'])
def handle_webhook():
    data = request.json
    video_id = data.get('video_id')
    status = data.get('status')
    video_url = data.get('video_url')
    
    if status == 'completed':
        # Process completed video
        process_video(video_id, video_url)
    
    return {'status': 'received'}, 200

Error Handling Examples

Common Errors and Solutions:

401 Unauthorized:

  • Check API key is correct
  • Verify key is active
  • Ensure proper header format

429 Rate Limit:

  • Implement exponential backoff
  • Reduce request frequency
  • Use batch operations when possible

400 Bad Request:

  • Validate request parameters
  • Check prompt format
  • Verify required fields

500 Server Error:

  • Retry with exponential backoff
  • Log error for debugging
  • Contact support if persistent

Best Practices for API Usage

Performance:

  • Use async operations for bulk requests
  • Implement proper rate limiting
  • Cache results when possible
  • Batch operations efficiently

Reliability:

  • Implement retry logic
  • Handle errors gracefully
  • Monitor API usage
  • Set up alerts for issues

Security:

  • Never expose API keys
  • Use environment variables
  • Rotate keys regularly
  • Monitor for unauthorized access

Cost Optimization:

  • Batch operations
  • Cache when appropriate
  • Optimize prompts
  • Monitor usage regularly
