OpenAI Videos API

The Videos API enables programmatic creation, extension, and remixing of videos using Sora models. It provides endpoints for creating a new render job from a text prompt, checking video status, downloading finished MP4 files, listing videos with pagination, and deleting videos from storage. Supported models include sora-2 and sora-2-pro.
