Use this endpoint after you start a Sora job. It reports the current job state, the configured size and duration, and any error returned by the provider.

​
Watch these fields

  • status for the lifecycle state
  • progress for a coarse progress signal
  • error when the provider rejects or fails the job
  • expires_at after completion if you need to know when temporary assets expire

​
Poll until completion

1

Create or remix the video first

Start with Create Video or Remix Video.
2

Poll by id

Pass the returned id here and keep checking until the job reaches completed or failed.
3

Download the file

When the job is completed, move to Retrieve Video Content.
