Creates a model response. Provide text or image inputs to generate text or JSON outputs. Have the model call your own custom code or use built-in tools like web search or file search to use your own data as input for the model's response.

Endpoint: https://api.openai.com/v1/responses

Method: POST

Docs: https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/responses


Required Arguments:

  • input: Text, image, or file inputs to the model, used to generate a response.

Optional Arguments:

  • stream_to: "PID or function of where to stream content to"

  • include: %{"$ref" => "#/components/schemas/Includable/description"}

  • parallel_tool_calls: "Whether to allow the model to run tool calls in parallel.\n"

  • store: "Whether to store the generated model response for later retrieval via\nAPI.\n"

  • stream: "If set to true, the model response data will be streamed to the client\nas it is generated using server-sent events.\nSee the Streaming section below\nfor more information.\n"

  • instructions: "Inserts a system (or developer) message as the first item in the model's context.\n\nWhen using along with previous_response_id, the instructions from a previous\nresponse will be not be carried over to the next response. This makes it simple\nto swap out system (or developer) messages in new responses.\n"

  • max_output_tokens: "An upper bound for the number of tokens that can be generated for a response, including visible output tokens and reasoning tokens.\n"

  • previous_response_id: "The unique ID of the previous response to the model. Use this to\ncreate multi-turn conversations. Learn more about \nconversation state.\n"

  • reasoning: ""

  • text: "Configuration options for a text response from the model. Can be plain\ntext or structured JSON data. Learn more:\n- Text inputs and outputs\n- Structured Outputs\n"

  • tool_choice: "How the model should select which tool (or tools) to use when generating\na response. See the tools parameter to see how to specify which tools\nthe model can call.\n"

  • tools: "An array of tools the model may call while generating a response. You \ncan specify which tool to use by setting the tool_choice parameter.\n\nThe two categories of tools you can provide the model are:\n\n- Built-in tools: Tools that are provided by OpenAI that extend the\n model's capabilities, like web search\n or file search. Learn more about\n built-in tools.\n- Function calls (custom tools): Functions that are defined by you,\n enabling the model to call your own code. Learn more about\n function calling.\n"

  • truncation: "The truncation strategy to use for the model response.\n- auto: If the context of this response and previous ones exceeds\n the model's context window size, the model will truncate the \n response to fit the context window by dropping input items in the\n middle of the conversation. \n- disabled (default): If a model response will exceed the context window \n size for a model, the request will fail with a 400 error.\n"

  • metadata: ""

  • temperature: "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.\nWe generally recommend altering this or top_p but not both.\n"

Example: 1

  • top_p: "An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling,\nwhere the model considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability\nmass. So 0.1 means only the tokens comprising the top 10% probability mass\nare considered.\n\nWe generally recommend altering this or temperature but not both.\n"

Example: 1

  • user: "A unique identifier representing your end-user, which can help OpenAI to monitor and detect abuse. Learn more.\n"

Example: "user-1234"

  • openai_api_key: "OpenAI API key to pass directly. If this is specified, it will override the api_key config value."

  • openai_organization_key: "OpenAI API key to pass directly. If this is specified, it will override the organization_key config value."

  • base_url: "Which API endpoint to use as base, defaults to https://api.openai.com/v1"
