Sora Video Generation — Query Task Status and Result

After you create a Sora video generation task, use this endpoint to check its status and retrieve the download URL once generation is complete. Pass the id returned by the Create Video Task endpoint as the path parameter, and keep polling until status is "completed" or "failed".

Video generation is asynchronous and typically takes several minutes. Do not expect an immediate result — continue polling at the recommended interval until the task reaches a terminal status.

Endpoint

Base URL:  https://zcbservice.aizfw.cn/kyyReactApiServer
Endpoint:  GET /v1/result/{id}
Full URL:  https://zcbservice.aizfw.cn/kyyReactApiServer/v1/result/{id}

All requests must include your API key as a Bearer token:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Path Parameters

string

required

The unique task identifier returned by the Create Video Task endpoint (e.g. sora_abc123def456).

Response Fields

string

Unique identifier of the video generation task.

string

Object type. Always "video.generation".

integer

Unix timestamp (seconds) of when the task was created.

string

The model used for generation (e.g. "openAiSora2Plus").

string

Current task status:

queued — task is in the queue, waiting to be processed
processing — the Sora model is actively generating the video
completed — generation succeeded; video_url is populated
failed — generation failed; see error for details

string

A direct download URL for the generated video (MP4 format). Only present when status is "completed". The URL is valid for 1 day — download and store the video before it expires.

number

The actual output duration of the video in seconds. Only present when status is "completed".

string

Error message describing why the task failed. Only present when status is "failed".

Status Flow

Step	Status	Meaning
1	`queued`	Task created and added to the processing queue
2	`processing`	Sora model is generating the video
3	`completed`	Video is ready; retrieve it via `video_url`
—	`failed`	An error occurred; inspect the `error` field

Polling Recommendations

Poll every 30–60 seconds. Video generation takes significantly longer than image generation — polling too frequently wastes quota and may trigger rate limits.

Stop polling as soon as status is "completed" or "failed".
Use exponential back-off if you encounter 429 Too Many Requests responses.

Generation Time Estimates

Video Length	Estimated Time
4 s	~1–3 minutes
8 s (typical)	~2–5 minutes
12 s	~3–8 minutes

Video URL Notes

The video_url is only valid for 1 day after the task completes. Download and save the file to your own storage system promptly — after expiry you will not be able to retrieve the video.

Format: MP4
The URL is a pre-signed temporary link; do not share it publicly as a permanent link.

Code Examples

curl --request GET \
  --url https://zcbservice.aizfw.cn/kyyReactApiServer/v1/result/sora_abc123def456 \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'

import time
import requests

BASE_URL = "https://zcbservice.aizfw.cn/kyyReactApiServer"
API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"
TASK_ID = "sora_abc123def456"

headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}"}

while True:
    response = requests.get(
        f"{BASE_URL}/v1/result/{TASK_ID}",
        headers=headers,
    )
    data = response.json()
    status = data["status"]
    print(f"Status: {status}")

    if status == "completed":
        print(f"Video URL: {data['video_url']}")
        break
    elif status == "failed":
        print(f"Generation failed: {data.get('error')}")
        break

    # Poll every 30 seconds
    time.sleep(30)
