Body params

Name
model
Type
string
Required
Description
ID of the model to use for completion. You can select one of `ada`, `babbage`, `curie`, or `davinci`.
Name
question
Type
string
Required
Description
Question to get answered.
Name
examples
Type
array[object]
Required
Description
List of (question, answer) pairs that will help steer the model towards the tone and answer format you'd like. We recommend adding 2 to 3 examples.
Name
examples_context
Type
string
Required
Description
A text snippet containing the contextual information used to generate the answers for the `examples` you provide.
Name
documents
Type
array[string]
Description
List of documents from which the answer for the input `question` should be derived. If this is an empty list, the question will be answered based on the question-answer examples. You should specify either `documents` or a `file`, but not both.
Name
file
Type
string
Description
The ID of an uploaded file that contains documents to search over. See [upload file](/docs/api-reference/files/upload) for how to upload a file of the desired format and purpose. You should specify either `documents` or a `file`, but not both.
Name
search_model
Type
string
Description
ID of the model to use for [Search](/docs/api-reference/searches/create). You can select one of `ada`, `babbage`, `curie`, or `davinci`.
Name
max_rerank
Type
integer
Description
The maximum number of documents to be ranked by [Search](/docs/api-reference/searches/create) when using `file`. Setting it to a higher value leads to improved accuracy but with increased latency and cost.
Name
temperature
Type
number
Description
What sampling temperature to use, between 0 and 2. Higher values like 0.8 will make the output more random, while lower values like 0.2 will make it more focused and deterministic.
Name
logprobs
Type
integer
Description
Include the log probabilities on the `logprobs` most likely tokens, as well the chosen tokens. For example, if `logprobs` is 5, the API will return a list of the 5 most likely tokens. The API will always return the `logprob` of the sampled token, so there may be up to `logprobs+1` elements in the response. The maximum value for `logprobs` is 5. If you need more than this, please contact us through our [Help center](https://help.openai.com) and describe your use case. When `logprobs` is set, `completion` will be automatically added into `expand` to get the logprobs.
Name
max_tokens
Type
integer
Description
The maximum number of tokens allowed for the generated answer
Name
stop
Description
Up to 4 sequences where the API will stop generating further tokens. The returned text will not contain the stop sequence.
Name
n
Type
integer
Description
How many answers to generate for each question.
Name
logit_bias
Type
object
Description
Modify the likelihood of specified tokens appearing in the completion. Accepts a json object that maps tokens (specified by their token ID in the GPT tokenizer) to an associated bias value from -100 to 100. You can use this [tokenizer tool](/tokenizer?view=bpe) (which works for both GPT-2 and GPT-3) to convert text to token IDs. Mathematically, the bias is added to the logits generated by the model prior to sampling. The exact effect will vary per model, but values between -1 and 1 should decrease or increase likelihood of selection; values like -100 or 100 should result in a ban or exclusive selection of the relevant token. As an example, you can pass `{"50256": -100}` to prevent the <|endoftext|> token from being generated.
Name
return_metadata
Type
boolean
Description
A special boolean flag for showing metadata. If set to `true`, each document entry in the returned JSON will contain a "metadata" field. This flag only takes effect when `file` is set.
Name
return_prompt
Type
boolean
Description
If set to `true`, the returned JSON will include a "prompt" field containing the final prompt that was used to request a completion. This is mainly useful for debugging purposes.
Name
expand
Type
array[object]
Description
If an object name is in the list, we provide the full information of the object; otherwise, we only provide the object ID. Currently we support `completion` and `file` objects for expansion.
Name
user
Type
string
Description
A unique identifier representing your end-user, which can help OpenAI to monitor and detect abuse. [Learn more](/docs/guides/safety-best-practices/end-user-ids).
