Removed OpenAI video ids: the exact list and a script to find them

OpenAI's deprecations page lists the Videos API and these ids as removed on 2026-09-24: sora-2, sora-2-pro, sora-2-2025-10-06, sora-2-2025-12-08 and sora-2-pro-2025-10-06. The recommended replacement column reads "---", so there is nothing to rename to. Search your repository for each id and for calls to the Videos API.

The ids (read 2026-10-04)

The page shows the announcement date of March 24, 2026 and the shutdown date of September 24, 2026.

Find them

This script walks a directory and prints each file, line and matching id. It reads text files only and skips common build folders.

import re
import sys
from pathlib import Path

PATTERN = re.compile(r"sora-2(?:-pro)?(?:-\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2})?")
SKIP = {".git", "node_modules", ".next", "dist", "__pycache__"}

root = Path(sys.argv[1] if len(sys.argv) > 1 else ".")
for path in root.rglob("*"):
    if not path.is_file() or SKIP & set(path.parts):
        continue
    try:
        text = path.read_text(encoding="utf-8")
    except (UnicodeDecodeError, OSError):
        continue
    for number, line in enumerate(text.splitlines(), 1):
        for match in PATTERN.finditer(line):
            print(f"{path}:{number}: {match.group(0)}")

Then choose a model by need

Pick from the live listing by duration, resolution and audio, not by name. Sume's GET /v1/videos/models returns those fields for each id, and sume/auto lets Sume choose, though it does not tell you which model ran.

curl "https://api.sume.com/v1/videos/models" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SUME_API_KEY"

What not to assume

Sume does not offer Sora under another name. A replacement renders differently, so keep your old outputs for comparison and re-test every prompt.
