OpenAI Killed Sora: Here's How to Migrate Your App to NexaAPI in 10 Minutes

OpenAI has shut down Sora, leaving developers scrambling. If your app used Sora's video generation API, here's the fastest migration path.

Why NexaAPI?

  • 50+ video models: Kling 3.0, Veo 3, Wan 2.1, HunyuanVideo
  • 5× cheaper than official pricing
  • OpenAI-compatible — change one line of code
  • Free tier — no credit card needed

Migration in 3 Steps

Step 2: Python Code

from nexaapi import NexaAPI

client = NexaAPI(api_key='YOUR_API_KEY')

response = client.video.generate(
    model='kling-v3-pro',  # Sora replacement
    prompt='A cinematic drone shot of a futuristic city at sunset',
    duration=5,
    aspect_ratio='16:9'
)
print(response.video_url)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 3: JavaScript Code

import NexaAPI from 'nexaapi';

const client = new NexaAPI({ apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY' });

const response = await client.video.generate({

});
console.log(response.videoUrl);
