What works where

This page is the summary of the API reference: one row per endpoint, then what each one accepts. The pages of each endpoint have the details and the examples; when this page and another one disagree, write to info@daikolab.ch: one of them is wrong.

Three terms used below:

• Honoured: the parameter does what its name says.
• Refused: the request gets a 400 (or a 422) that names the field. Nothing runs and nothing is charged.
• Accepted, no effect: the request succeeds and the field is ignored. These are the cases to know before you rely on a field.

At a glance#

The last two exist only where AI Tokens has machines that make pictures and video; elsewhere they answer 503 no_engine_available. Prices are in Pricing, zones in Sovereignty, limits per minute in Rate limits. Every response carries X-Request-Id, the reference to quote when you write to us.

Text#

POST /v1/chat/completions#

• Models: the chat models of the catalogue. Images as input only on the models with the images badge.
• Inputs: messages with the roles system, user, assistant and tool; images as image_url parts, a data URI or a public http(s) address, PNG, JPEG, WebP or GIF, up to 8 MB each.
• Honoured: temperature, top_p, max_tokens or max_completion_tokens (up to 8192), stop, n (1–8), seed, presence_penalty, frequency_penalty, logit_bias, logprobs, top_logprobs, parallel_tool_calls, tools, tool_choice, response_format (json_object, json_schema), user, service_tier (auto or default). Header X-Siati-Tier.
• Refused: any name not in that list, typos included; metadata, store, functions, function_call, modalities, audio, prediction, web_search_options; n above 1 with stream: true. On the models served by Ollama, also n above 1, logprobs, top_logprobs, logit_bias and parallel_tool_calls. A value out of range gets 422.
• Accepted, no effect: with stream: true, logprobs and top_logprobs (not in the chunks). stream_options.include_usage works: a last chunk carries the usage. On the models served by Ollama, tool_choice.
• Details: Chat completions, Every parameter, Streaming, Structured output.

POST /v1/completions#

• Inputs: prompt, a string or a list with one string; more than one gets 400.
• Parameters: those of chat completions, with the same rules.
• Differences: the answer has OpenAI's text_completion shape, but with stream: true the chunks are those of chat completions, with the text in delta.content.

POST /v1/responses#

• Honoured: input (a string or a list of messages), instructions, max_output_tokens, temperature, top_p, text.format (json_object, json_schema), tools (in the Responses shape, your own functions only), tool_choice.
• Refused: stream: true, with 501 stream_not_implemented; a value out of range, with 400.
• Accepted, no effect: every other field, previous_response_id and store included: there is no state on the server, and a typo goes unnoticed.
• Differences: an answer cut at max_output_tokens has status: incomplete.
• Details: Responses API.

GET /v1/models#

Every model AI Tokens serves, built at each call: the chat models of the catalogue, bge-m3 and bge-reranker-v2-m3, the picture and video models while a machine makes them, then whisper-1, whisper-1-hd and tts-1. Not listed: the voices, which are the voice of tts-1 (GET /v1/audio/voices), and tts-1-hd, accepted for OpenAI's clients and the same engine as tts-1. Every row has the same owned_by, the name of AI Tokens.

Search#

POST /v1/embeddings#

• Model: always bge-m3, 1024 dimensions.
• Honoured: input, a string or a list of up to 32 strings; encoding_format (float or base64).
• Refused: lists of token ids, empty texts, more than 32 texts.
• Accepted, no effect: model (the vectors always come from bge-m3), dimensions (always 1024), user, and any other field.
• Details: Embeddings.

POST /v1/rerank#

• Model: always bge-reranker-v2-m3.
• Honoured: query (up to 32,000 characters), documents (1 to 32), top_n, return_documents.
• Refused: a missing query, more than 32 documents, an empty one.
• Accepted, no effect: model, and any other field.
• Details: Rerank.

Knowledge bases#

• With an API key: GET /v1/knowledge-bases lists yours and the shared ones that have a document ready; POST /v1/knowledge-bases/{slug}/ask honours question (up to 2,000 characters), model (a model of the catalogue, default qwen3.8-27b) and top_k (1–20). A value out of range gets 422; any other field is accepted with no effect.
• With a signed-in user: creating knowledge bases, uploading documents (PDF, DOCX, TXT, Markdown, up to 50 MB), following and deleting them, in the dashboard or the app API.
• Zones: the answer is written in the zones of AI Tokens; the zone limits of your key do not apply.
• Details: Knowledge bases API.

Audio#

POST /v1/audio/transcriptions#

• Models: whisper-1 and whisper-1-hd; another name gets 400.
• Inputs: one file up to 25 MB, in WAV, MP3, M4A, MP4, Ogg, Opus, WebM, FLAC, 3GPP or AMR, checked on its content.
• Honoured: language, prompt, response_format (json, verbose_json, text), temperature (0–1), timestamp_granularities (word, segment, with verbose_json only).
• Refused: srt and vtt; word timings without verbose_json; a format we do not accept.
• Accepted, no effect: any other field.
• Where it runs: whisper-1 on a machine in your key's zones where AI Tokens has one, with X-Zona; whisper-1-hd, word timings, a prompt, audio over 10 minutes and the requests that machine cannot take run in Switzerland, outside the zones.
• Details: Audio.

POST /v1/audio/speech#

• Voices: those of Audio, and OpenAI's voice names, mapped to ours by language.
• Honoured: input (up to 5,000 characters), voice, response_format (wav, the default, or mp3), language (ours).
• Refused: an unknown voice, a longer text, another format.
• Accepted, no effect: model (one engine serves every request), speed, and any other field.
• Output: the whole file at once, no streaming, marked as generated by AI: see AI-generated media.

Pictures and video#

Where AI Tokens makes them, each has its own page after Audio in this reference.

POST /v1/images/generations#

• Model: z-image-turbo; another name gets 400 model_not_found.
• Honoured: prompt (up to 4,000 characters), size (1024x1024, 1024x1536, 1536x1024), n (1–4), response_format (b64_json or url, a link valid 24 hours), seed.
• Refused: every other field, OpenAI's quality, style, background and output_format included; a value the model cannot take; a prompt refused by the content check.
• Output: PNG, marked as generated by AI. A picture refused by the check after it was made is not delivered and not charged.

/v1/videos#

• Mode: POST /v1/videos creates a job; GET /v1/videos/{id} follows it; GET /v1/videos/{id}/content downloads the MP4; GET /v1/videos lists, DELETE /v1/videos/{id} deletes. One job at a time per person.
• Model: wan-2.2-5b-fast, the default.
• Honoured: prompt (up to 2,000 characters), seconds (5), size (1280x704, 704x1280), seed.
• Refused: input_reference, every other field, a value the model cannot make, a prompt refused by the content check.
• Output: MP4, 24 frames a second, no sound, kept 7 days, marked as generated by AI.

Without code#

A signed-in user reaches the same engines from the dashboard: the playground for chat, knowledge bases, and the Studio for voice, transcription, pictures and video. They count on the same credits and usage records as the API.

Not available#

Assistants and threads, Batch, Files, fine-tuning, image edits and variations, video remix, edits, extensions and characters, audio translations, moderation, Realtime and vector stores. Those paths answer 404 with code: unknown_endpoint. Coming from OpenAI: OpenAI SDK migration.
