Venice Chat Completions

POST /api/v1/chat/completions is Venice's main text endpoint. It's OpenAI-compatible, plus a venice_parameters object for Venice-only features.

Use when

You need LLM text generation, with or without tools, with or without streaming.
You want multimodal inputs (images, audio, video) to a vision/audio-capable model.
You want Venice-specific features: web search, E2EE, characters, xAI X/Twitter search, strip-thinking, web scraping.
You need prompt caching for large system prompts or long documents.
You need structured (json_schema) output.

For the newer Alpha Responses API, see venice-responses.

Minimal request

curl https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VENICE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "zai-org-glm-5-1",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Why is the sky blue?"}]
  }'

Response shape is the standard OpenAI chat.completion object (id, object: "chat.completion", choices[].message, usage). With stream: true, responses come as SSE data: lines in chat.completion.chunk format.

The request body

`prompt_cache_key`, (//)

`venice_parameters` (Venice-only)

All optional. Combined with model feature suffixes, these are how you enable Venice features.

Field	Type	Default	Effect
`character_slug`	string	—	Apply a published Venice character. Slug is the "Public ID" on the character page. See `venice-characters`.
`strip_thinking_response`	bool	`false`	Strip `<think>...</think>` from the assistant output on reasoning models.
`disable_thinking`	bool	`false`	Disable thinking entirely on supported reasoning models and strip tags.

`include_venice_system_prompt`	bool	`true`	Prepend Venice's curated system prompt. Turn off for full control.
`enable_x_search`

Model feature suffixes

Some venice_parameters can also be expressed as model feature suffixes on the model string — useful when the caller/library (OpenAI SDK, LangChain) can't set venice_parameters. Syntax:

<model-id>:<key>=<value>[&<key>=<value>…]

Values are URL-decoded. Supported keys (exact match):

Key	Type	Maps to
`enable_web_search`	`on` / `off` / `auto`	`venice_parameters.enable_web_search`
`enable_web_citations`	`"true"` / `"false"`	`venice_parameters.enable_web_citations`
`enable_web_scraping`	`"true"` / `"false"`	`venice_parameters.enable_web_scraping`
`include_venice_system_prompt`	`"true"` / `"false"`	`venice_parameters.include_venice_system_prompt`
`include_search_results_in_stream`	`"true"` / `"false"`	`venice_parameters.include_search_results_in_stream`
`return_search_results_as_documents`	`"true"` / `"false"`	`venice_parameters.return_search_results_as_documents`
`character_slug`	string	`venice_parameters.character_slug`
`strip_thinking_response`	`"true"` / `"false"`	`venice_parameters.strip_thinking_response`
`disable_thinking`	`"true"` / `"false"`	`venice_parameters.disable_thinking`

Unknown keys are silently ignored. Examples:

zai-org-glm-5-1:enable_web_search=on
kimi-k2-6:strip_thinking_response=true&enable_web_search=auto
zai-org-glm-5-1:character_slug=alan-watts

Note: enable_e2ee and enable_x_search can only be set via venice_parameters, not as suffixes.

Messages and modalities

messages[].content is either a string or an array of typed parts. Roles: user, assistant, tool, system, developer (reasoning models like o-series / codex).

Text + image (`image_url`)

{
  "model": "zai-org-glm-5-1",
  "messages": [{
    "role": "user",
    "content": [
      {"type": "text", "text": "What's in this image?"},
      {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/cat.jpg"}}
    ]
  }]
}

url accepts a public URL or data:image/png;base64,....
Models with model_spec.capabilities.supportsMultipleImages: true preserve images across the whole conversation; single-image vision models only keep images from the last user message. Check model_spec.capabilities.maxImages for the per-request cap.

Audio input (`input_audio`)

{
  "role": "user",
  "content": [
    {"type": "text", "text": "Transcribe this clip."},
    {"type": "input_audio", "input_audio": {"data": "<base64>", "format": "wav"}}
  ]
}

Formats: wav, mp3, aiff, aac, ogg, flac, m4a, pcm16, pcm24. Audio URLs are not supported — always inline base64.

Video input (`video_url`)

{
  "role": "user",
  "content": [
    {"type": "text", "text": "Summarize this."},
    {"type": "video_url", "video_url": {"url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=..."}}
  ]
}

Accepts public URLs (including YouTube for some providers) or data:video/mp4;base64,.... Supported formats: mp4, mpeg, mov, webm.

Prompt caching (`cache_control`)

Any text / image_url / input_audio / video_url part can carry:

{"cache_control": {"type": "ephemeral", "ttl": "1h"}}

Combine with prompt_cache_key and prompt_cache_retention: "24h" on the root request for predictable cache routing. Cache read / write pricing is model-specific — check model_spec.pricing on /models.

Tools & function calling

Function tools

{
  "tools": [{
    "type": "function",
    "function": {
      "name": "get_weather",
      "description": "Get current weather for a city",
      "parameters": {
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {"city": {"type": "string"}},
        "required": ["city"]
      },
      "strict": true
    }
  }],
  "tool_choice": "auto"
}

tool_choice can also be "required", "none", or {"type":"function","function":{"name":"get_weather"}}.
parallel_tool_calls: true (default) lets the model emit multiple calls at once.
Respond by appending {"role":"tool","tool_call_id":"...","content":"..."} before the next call.

Built-in tools

"tools": [{"type": "web_search"}, {"type": "x_search"}]

Equivalent to toggling venice_parameters.enable_web_search / enable_x_search. x_search requires a model with supportsXSearch.

Reasoning models

On thinking models (GLM 5.1, Kimi K2.6, Claude Opus 4.7, GPT-5.4 Pro, …):

{
  "model": "zai-org-glm-5-1",
  "reasoning": {"effort": "medium", "summary": "auto"},
  "venice_parameters": {"strip_thinking_response": false},
  "messages": [...]
}

reasoning_effort is the OpenAI-compatible flat variant (takes precedence over reasoning.effort).
Reasoning models may return reasoning_content or structured reasoning_details[] on the assistant message. Pass reasoning_details back verbatim in the next turn — it encodes thought signatures for providers like Claude Opus 4.7 and GPT-5.4 Pro.
Use venice_parameters.disable_thinking: true to skip thinking entirely on supported models.

Structured output (`response_format`)

{
  "response_format": {
    "type": "json_schema",
    "json_schema": {
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {"name": {"type": "string"}, "age": {"type": "number"}},
      "required": ["name", "age"]
    }
  }
}

Prefer json_schema over the legacy json_object. Plain text is the default ({"type": "text"}).

E2EE (end-to-end encryption)

For models advertising supportsE2EE:

Perform an HPKE / Noise handshake with Venice (see docs.venice.ai/e2ee).
Send encrypted payload with the required E2EE request headers.
Leave venice_parameters.enable_e2ee at default true, or set false to fall back to TEE-only.

E2EE is not supported on /responses — use /chat/completions for encrypted inference.

Streaming

{"stream": true, "stream_options": {"include_usage": true}}

Response is text/event-stream. Each event is data: {...chunk...}\n\n, terminated by data: [DONE].
include_usage: true adds a final chunk with token counts.
With venice_parameters.include_search_results_in_stream: true, the first chunk carries venice_search_results.

Web-search answers

When enable_web_search is "auto" or "on", the response includes venice_parameters.web_search_citations[] where each entry has url, title, content (snippet), and date. Turn on enable_web_citations to have the model insert ^1^ superscripts inline.

Error handling specifics

402 — insufficient balance. Bearer: INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE. x402: PAYMENT_REQUIRED with structured topUpInstructions and siwxChallenge.
422 — prompt violates Venice or provider content policy. May include suggested_prompt.

# Venice Chat Completions

`POST /api/v1/chat/completions` is Venice's main text endpoint. It's OpenAI-compatible, plus a `venice_parameters` object for Venice-only features.

## Use when

- You need LLM text generation, with or without tools, with or without streaming.
- You want multimodal inputs (images, audio, video) to a vision/audio-capable model.
- You want Venice-specific features: web search, E2EE, characters, xAI X/Twitter search, strip-thinking, web scraping.
- You need prompt caching for large system prompts or long documents.
- You need structured (`json_schema`) output.

For the newer Alpha **Responses API**, see [`venice-responses`](../venice-responses/SKILL.md).

## Minimal request

```bash
curl https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VENICE_API_KEY" \

  -d '{
    "model": "zai-org-glm-5-1",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Why is the sky blue?"}]
  }'
```

Response shape is the standard OpenAI `chat.completion` object (`id`, `object: "chat.completion"`, `choices[].message`, `usage`). With `stream: true`, responses come as SSE `data:` lines in `chat.completion.chunk` format.

### Model feature suffixes

Some `venice_parameters` can also be expressed as **model feature suffixes** on the `model` string — useful when the caller/library (OpenAI SDK, LangChain) can't set `venice_parameters`. Syntax:

```
<model-id>:<key>=<value>[&<key>=<value>…]
```

Values are URL-decoded. Supported keys (exact match):

| Key | Type | Maps to |
|---|---|---|
| `enable_web_search` | `on` / `off` / `auto` | `venice_parameters.enable_web_search` |
| `enable_web_citations` | `"true"` / `"false"` | `venice_parameters.enable_web_citations` |

| `include_search_results_in_stream` | `"true"` / `"false"` | `venice_parameters.include_search_results_in_stream` |
| `return_search_results_as_documents` | `"true"` / `"false"` | `venice_parameters.return_search_results_as_documents` |
| `character_slug` | string | `venice_parameters.character_slug` |
| `strip_thinking_response` | `"true"` / `"false"` | `venice_parameters.strip_thinking_response` |
| `disable_thinking` | `"true"` / `"false"` | `venice_parameters.disable_thinking` |

Unknown keys are silently ignored. Examples:

```
zai-org-glm-5-1:enable_web_search=on
kimi-k2-6:strip_thinking_response=true&enable_web_search=auto
zai-org-glm-5-1:character_slug=alan-watts
```

Note: `enable_e2ee` and `enable_x_search` can **only** be set via `venice_parameters`, not as suffixes.

## Messages and modalities

`messages[].content` is either a string or an array of typed parts. Roles: `user`, `assistant`, `tool`, `system`, `developer` (reasoning models like o-series / codex).

### Text + image (`image_url`)

```json
{
  "model": "zai-org-glm-5-1",
  "messages": [{
    "role": "user",
    "content": [
      {"type": "text", "text": "What's in this image?"},
      {"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/cat.jpg"}}
    ]
  }]
}
```

- `url` accepts a public URL **or** `data:image/png;base64,...`.
- Models with `model_spec.capabilities.supportsMultipleImages: true` preserve images across the whole conversation; single-image vision models only keep images from the **last** user message. Check `model_spec.capabilities.maxImages` for the per-request cap.

### Audio input (`input_audio`)

```json
{
  "role": "user",
  "content": [
    {"type": "text", "text": "Transcribe this clip."},
    {"type": "input_audio", "input_audio": {"data": "<base64>", "format": "wav"}}
  ]
}
```

Formats: `wav`, `mp3`, `aiff`, `aac`, `ogg`, `flac`, `m4a`, `pcm16`, `pcm24`. Audio URLs are **not** supported — always inline base64.

### Video input (`video_url`)

```json
{
  "role": "user",
  "content": [
    {"type": "text", "text": "Summarize this."},
    {"type": "video_url", "video_url": {"url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=..."}}
  ]
}
```

Accepts public URLs (including YouTube for some providers) or `data:video/mp4;base64,...`. Supported formats: `mp4`, `mpeg`, `mov`, `webm`.

### Prompt caching (`cache_control`)

Any text / image_url / input_audio / video_url part can carry:

```json
{"cache_control": {"type": "ephemeral", "ttl": "1h"}}
```

Combine with `prompt_cache_key` and `prompt_cache_retention: "24h"` on the root request for predictable cache routing. Cache read / write pricing is model-specific — check `model_spec.pricing` on `/models`.

## Tools & function calling

### Function tools

```json
{
  "tools": [{
    "type": "function",
    "function": {
      "name": "get_weather",
      "description": "Get current weather for a city",
      "parameters": {
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {"city": {"type": "string"}},
        "required": ["city"]
      },
      "strict": true
    }
  }],
  "tool_choice": "auto"
}
```

- `tool_choice` can also be `"required"`, `"none"`, or `{"type":"function","function":{"name":"get_weather"}}`.
- `parallel_tool_calls: true` (default) lets the model emit multiple calls at once.
- Respond by appending `{"role":"tool","tool_call_id":"...","content":"..."}` before the next call.

### Built-in tools

```json
"tools": [{"type": "web_search"}, {"type": "x_search"}]
```

Equivalent to toggling `venice_parameters.enable_web_search` / `enable_x_search`. `x_search` requires a model with `supportsXSearch`.

## Reasoning models

On thinking models (GLM 5.1, Kimi K2.6, Claude Opus 4.7, GPT-5.4 Pro, …):

```json
{
  "model": "zai-org-glm-5-1",
  "reasoning": {"effort": "medium", "summary": "auto"},
  "venice_parameters": {"strip_thinking_response": false},
  "messages": [...]
}
```

- `reasoning_effort` is the OpenAI-compatible flat variant (takes precedence over `reasoning.effort`).
- Reasoning models may return `reasoning_content` or structured `reasoning_details[]` on the assistant message. **Pass `reasoning_details` back verbatim** in the next turn — it encodes thought signatures for providers like Claude Opus 4.7 and GPT-5.4 Pro.
- Use `venice_parameters.disable_thinking: true` to skip thinking entirely on supported models.

## Structured output (`response_format`)

```json
{
  "response_format": {
    "type": "json_schema",
    "json_schema": {
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {"name": {"type": "string"}, "age": {"type": "number"}},
      "required": ["name", "age"]
    }
  }
}
```

Prefer `json_schema` over the legacy `json_object`. Plain text is the default (`{"type": "text"}`).

## E2EE (end-to-end encryption)

For models advertising `supportsE2EE`:

1. Perform an HPKE / Noise handshake with Venice (see docs.venice.ai/e2ee).
2. Send encrypted payload with the required E2EE request headers.
3. Leave `venice_parameters.enable_e2ee` at default `true`, or set `false` to fall back to TEE-only.

E2EE is **not** supported on `/responses` — use `/chat/completions` for encrypted inference.

## Streaming

```json
{"stream": true, "stream_options": {"include_usage": true}}
```

- Response is `text/event-stream`. Each event is `data: {...chunk...}\n\n`, terminated by `data: [DONE]`.
- `include_usage: true` adds a final chunk with token counts.
- With `venice_parameters.include_search_results_in_stream: true`, the **first** chunk carries `venice_search_results`.

## Web-search answers

When `enable_web_search` is `"auto"` or `"on"`, the response includes `venice_parameters.web_search_citations[]` where each entry has `url`, `title`, `content` (snippet), and `date`. Turn on `enable_web_citations` to have the model insert `^1^` superscripts inline.

## Error handling specifics

- `402` — insufficient balance. Bearer: `INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE`. x402: `PAYMENT_REQUIRED` with structured `topUpInstructions` and `siwxChallenge`.
- `422` — prompt violates Venice or provider content policy. May include `suggested_prompt`.
