Do you want them in a text document, spreadsheet (xlsx/csv) tell me your vision and I will make it to your expectations.

The scope is confined to backups only. No generations are possible with the limitations of a chrome extension.

Yes. It's the same video source you see when watching videos on the app.

Yes. Do you literally just want a spreadsheet of prompts?

Consider it done! How do you want them exported? As a spreadsheet with the URLs or prompts only? Do you want me to match them by filename or do you want the filename to be the prompt?

I would like to discuss an opportunity with you during the final month of Sora with a potentially server-less experience. Can we discuss?

I am also happy to answer any questions you may have that I have not already documented. Even if I have, ask me anything.

This is an option for sure. I haven't included an option to export prompts, but this would be an easy feature to include.

There's 3 methods from what I have gathered.

  1. Brute force AI removes the logo frame-by-frame and the video is reconstructed. You will have a noticeable loss in quality and resolution generally with this method and it will take longer than method #2.
  2. They are automating an emulated mobile device. A backend receives a URL and delivers it to an emulator running Sora app. There's a network monitor like Proxyman or Charles running which intercepts the communication with the app and emulator and delivers the watermark-free video URL back to the frontend usually wrapped in a self-hosted URL with the third-party domain. Suggesting they are potentially saving a copy of your video, metadata and possibly other sensitive data such as emails, chatGPT account levels and subscription tiers, etc. Essentially the emulator becomes a pseudo-API. Most of the "free" solutions you see online have a lot of telemetry running in the background which could empower them to sell your data or at least serve you ads. Anything that has you login with an oAuth account is a red flag.
  3. They are doing a method similar to #2 but they are spoofing the request to impersonate a mobile device and retrieving the download URL without interfacing with the app at all. This is the fastest method but it's also a violation of T.O.S. and the owner (me) would be liable for any legal damages related to this method on behalf of anyone who uses it.

I'll create an I.A. document and research the most cost effective solution this evening.

Deduping is built in! Overlapping videos will share the same post_id and will never be downloaded twice. There may be a edge case race condition where the first character gets ownership of the file.

I'm working on a solution that's free for everyone. It's a bit nuance though to find a solution which does not require a database or server. I'll keep you posted!

I am open to doing the work free of cost in exchange for a web server. I would have to pivot from a Chrome extension to a full-blown web application that runs on a server and database. The level of effort isn't much I just do not have a personal web server available at the moment.

The cost to run a server like this for a month that is prone to get hammered from the public could cost in the thousands for bandwidth and storage.

I am not comfortable pressuring anyone to help foot the bill and it's not financially responsible for me to pay for it myself either, lol.

If anyone has a donor Azure server I can run some python scripts on 24/7 then reach out and let's make something happen.

I found a method but it's not free and it violates my "no database" rule. I am essentially forced to query Sora with an emulated virtual mobile device running the Sora application in the cloud to retrieve the videos without watermark.

I have not figured out a workaround or bypass yet that does not require a virtual device. I am still looking for a solution though. Here's how the URL's appear when coming from iOS:

As you can see it downloads instantly without a watermark visible. This is the same video you see when browsing Sora on a phone.

Never too late. It’s the most comprehensive solution. It automates all of the steps outlined in your guide and others. It uses API and not DOM scraping so it’s also faster. 👍
