Request Parameters - Generate Image to Video Request

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
prompt	Yes	string	The text description of how you want to animate the image. Describe the motion, action, or transformation you want to see.
image	Yes	string	The input image URL (http:// or https://) or base64-encoded string (e.g., data:image/jpeg;base64,...). Must be exactly one of these dimensions: 1280×720, 720×1280, 1792×1024, or 1024×1792. Images in other sizes must be resized before uploading — the API will reject unsupported dimensions with a 400 error.
model	No	string	The ID of the Sora model to use for generation. Currently supports sora-2-pro.
size	No	string	The resolution of the output video. Must match the input image dimensions exactly. If omitted, derived from the input image. Valid values: 1280x720, 720x1280, 1792x1024, 1024x1792.
seconds	No	integer	The duration of the output video in seconds. Valid values: 4, 8, or 12.
callback_url	No	string	Callback notification URL for the result of this generation task. When the video generation completes, the system sends a POST request with the video details. If omitted, use polling to retrieve results.
