Create a prediction

Endpoint

POST https://api.replicate.com/v1/predictions

Description

Create a prediction for the model version and inputs you provide.

Example cURL request:

curl -s -X POST -H 'Prefer: wait' \
  -d '{"version": "replicate/hello-world:5c7d5dc6dd8bf75c1acaa8565735e7986bc5b66206b55cca93cb72c9bf15ccaa", "input": {"text": "Alice"}}' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $REPLICATE_API_TOKEN" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  https://api.replicate.com/v1/predictions

The request will wait up to 60 seconds for the model to run. If this time is exceeded the prediction will be returned in a "starting" state and need to be retrieved using the predictions.get endpoint.

For a complete overview of the predictions.create API check out our documentation on creating a prediction which covers a variety of use cases.

Headers

  • Preferstring

    Leave the request open and wait for the model to finish generating output. Set to wait=n where n is a number of seconds between 1 and 60.

    See https://replicate.com/docs/topics/predictions/create-a-prediction#sync-mode for more information.

  • The maximum time the prediction can run before it is automatically canceled. The lifetime is measured from when the prediction is created.

    The duration can be specified as string with an optional unit suffix:

    • s for seconds (e.g., 30s, 90s)
    • m for minutes (e.g., 5m, 15m)
    • h for hours (e.g., 1h, 2h30m)
    • defaults to seconds if no unit suffix is provided (e.g. 30 is the same as 30s)

    You can combine units for more precision (e.g., 1h30m45s).

    The minimum allowed duration is 5 seconds.

Request Body

  • inputobjectRequired

    The model's input as a JSON object. The input schema depends on what model you are running. To see the available inputs, click the "API" tab on the model you are running or get the model version and look at its openapi_schema property. For example, stability-ai/sdxl takes prompt as an input.

    Files should be passed as HTTP URLs or data URLs.

    Use an HTTP URL when:

    • you have a large file > 256kb
    • you want to be able to use the file multiple times
    • you want your prediction metadata to be associable with your input files

    Use a data URL when:

    • you have a small file <= 256kb
    • you don't want to upload and host the file somewhere
    • you don't need to use the file again (Replicate will not store it)
  • versionstringRequired

    The identifier for the model or model version that you want to run. This can be specified in a few different formats:

    • {owner_name}/{model_name} - Use this format for official models. For example, black-forest-labs/flux-schnell. For all other models, the specific version is required.
    • {owner_name}/{model_name}:{version_id} - The owner and model name, plus the full 64-character version ID. For example, replicate/hello-world:9dcd6d78e7c6560c340d916fe32e9f24aabfa331e5cce95fe31f77fb03121426.
    • {version_id} - Just the 64-character version ID. For example, 9dcd6d78e7c6560c340d916fe32e9f24aabfa331e5cce95fe31f77fb03121426
  • streamboolean

    This field is deprecated.

    Request a URL to receive streaming output using server-sent events (SSE).

    This field is no longer needed as the returned prediction will always have a stream entry in its urls property if the model supports streaming.

  • webhookstring

    An HTTPS URL for receiving a webhook when the prediction has new output. The webhook will be a POST request where the request body is the same as the response body of the get prediction operation. If there are network problems, we will retry the webhook a few times, so make sure it can be safely called more than once. Replicate will not follow redirects when sending webhook requests to your service, so be sure to specify a URL that will resolve without redirecting.

  • By default, we will send requests to your webhook URL whenever there are new outputs or the prediction has finished. You can change which events trigger webhook requests by specifying webhook_events_filter in the prediction request:

    • start: immediately on prediction start
    • output: each time a prediction generates an output (note that predictions can generate multiple outputs)
    • logs: each time log output is generated by a prediction
    • completed: when the prediction reaches a terminal state (succeeded/canceled/failed)

    For example, if you only wanted requests to be sent at the start and end of the prediction, you would provide:

    {
  "version": "5c7d5dc6dd8bf75c1acaa8565735e7986bc5b66206b55cca93cb72c9bf15ccaa",
  "input": {
    "text": "Alice"
  },
  "webhook": "https://example.com/my-webhook",
  "webhook_events_filter": ["start", "completed"]
}

    Requests for event types output and logs will be sent at most once every 500ms. If you request start and completed webhooks, then they'll always be sent regardless of throttling.

Get a prediction

Endpoint

GET https://api.replicate.com/v1/predictions/{prediction_id}

Description

Get the current state of a prediction.

Example cURL request:

curl -s \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $REPLICATE_API_TOKEN" \
  https://api.replicate.com/v1/predictions/gm3qorzdhgbfurvjtvhg6dckhu

The response will be the prediction object:

{
  "id": "gm3qorzdhgbfurvjtvhg6dckhu",
  "model": "replicate/hello-world",
  "version": "5c7d5dc6dd8bf75c1acaa8565735e7986bc5b66206b55cca93cb72c9bf15ccaa",
  "input": {
    "text": "Alice"
  },
  "logs": "",
  "output": "hello Alice",
  "error": null,
  "status": "succeeded",
  "created_at": "2023-09-08T16:19:34.765994Z",
  "data_removed": false,
  "started_at": "2023-09-08T16:19:34.779176Z",
  "completed_at": "2023-09-08T16:19:34.791859Z",
  "metrics": {
    "predict_time": 0.012683
  },
  "urls": {
    "web": "https://replicate.com/p/gm3qorzdhgbfurvjtvhg6dckhu",
    "get": "https://api.replicate.com/v1/predictions/gm3qorzdhgbfurvjtvhg6dckhu",
    "cancel": "https://api.replicate.com/v1/predictions/gm3qorzdhgbfurvjtvhg6dckhu/cancel"
  }
}

status will be one of:

  • starting: the prediction is starting up. If this status lasts longer than a few seconds, then it’s typically because a new worker is being started to run the prediction.
  • processing: the predict() method of the model is currently running.
  • succeeded: the prediction completed successfully.
  • failed: the prediction encountered an error during processing.
  • canceled: the prediction was canceled by its creator.

In the case of success, output will be an object containing the output of the model. Any files will be represented as HTTPS URLs. You’ll need to pass the Authorization header to request them.

In the case of failure, error will contain the error encountered during the prediction.

Terminated predictions (with a status of succeeded, failed, or canceled) will include a metrics object with a predict_time property showing the amount of CPU or GPU time, in seconds, that the prediction used while running. It won’t include time waiting for the prediction to start. The metrics object will also include a total_time property showing the total time, in seconds, that the prediction took to complete.

All input parameters, output values, and logs are automatically removed after an hour, by default, for predictions created through the API.

You must save a copy of any data or files in the output if you’d like to continue using them. The output key will still be present, but it’s value will be null after the output has been removed.

Output files are served by replicate.delivery and its subdomains. If you use an allow list of external domains for your assets, add replicate.delivery and *.replicate.delivery to it.

Delete a deployment

Endpoint

DELETE https://api.replicate.com/v1/deployments/{deployment_owner}/{deployment_name}

Description

Delete a deployment

  • You can only delete deployments that have been offline and unused for at least 15 minutes.

Example cURL request:

curl -s -X DELETE \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $REPLICATE_API_TOKEN" \
  https://api.replicate.com/v1/deployments/acme/my-app-image-generator

The response will be an empty 204, indicating the deployment has been deleted.

URL Parameters

Create a prediction using a deployment

Endpoint

POST https://api.replicate.com/v1/deployments/{deployment_owner}/{deployment_name}/predictions

Description

Create a prediction for the deployment and inputs you provide.

Example cURL request:

curl -s -X POST -H 'Prefer: wait' \
  -d '{"input": {"prompt": "A photo of a bear riding a bicycle over the moon"}}' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $REPLICATE_API_TOKEN" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  https://api.replicate.com/v1/deployments/acme/my-app-image-generator/predictions

The request will wait up to 60 seconds for the model to run. If this time is exceeded the prediction will be returned in a "starting" state and need to be retrieved using the predictions.get endpoint.

For a complete overview of the deployments.predictions.create API check out our documentation on creating a prediction which covers a variety of use cases.

URL Parameters

Headers

  • Preferstring

    Leave the request open and wait for the model to finish generating output. Set to wait=n where n is a number of seconds between 1 and 60.

    See https://replicate.com/docs/topics/predictions/create-a-prediction#sync-mode for more information.

  • The maximum time the prediction can run before it is automatically canceled. The lifetime is measured from when the prediction is created.

    The duration can be specified as string with an optional unit suffix:

    • s for seconds (e.g., 30s, 90s)
    • m for minutes (e.g., 5m, 15m)
    • h for hours (e.g., 1h, 2h30m)
    • defaults to seconds if no unit suffix is provided (e.g. 30 is the same as 30s)

    You can combine units for more precision (e.g., 1h30m45s).

    The minimum allowed duration is 5 seconds.

Request Body

  • inputobjectRequired

    The model's input as a JSON object. The input schema depends on what model you are running. To see the available inputs, click the "API" tab on the model you are running or get the model version and look at its openapi_schema property. For example, stability-ai/sdxl takes prompt as an input.

    Files should be passed as HTTP URLs or data URLs.

    Use an HTTP URL when:

    • you have a large file > 256kb
    • you want to be able to use the file multiple times
    • you want your prediction metadata to be associable with your input files

    Use a data URL when:

    • you have a small file <= 256kb
    • you don't want to upload and host the file somewhere
    • you don't need to use the file again (Replicate will not store it)
  • streamboolean

    This field is deprecated.

    Request a URL to receive streaming output using server-sent events (SSE).

    This field is no longer needed as the returned prediction will always have a stream entry in its urls property if the model supports streaming.

  • webhookstring

    An HTTPS URL for receiving a webhook when the prediction has new output. The webhook will be a POST request where the request body is the same as the response body of the get prediction operation. If there are network problems, we will retry the webhook a few times, so make sure it can be safely called more than once. Replicate will not follow redirects when sending webhook requests to your service, so be sure to specify a URL that will resolve without redirecting.

  • By default, we will send requests to your webhook URL whenever there are new outputs or the prediction has finished. You can change which events trigger webhook requests by specifying webhook_events_filter in the prediction request:

    • start: immediately on prediction start
    • output: each time a prediction generates an output (note that predictions can generate multiple outputs)
    • logs: each time log output is generated by a prediction
    • completed: when the prediction reaches a terminal state (succeeded/canceled/failed)

    For example, if you only wanted requests to be sent at the start and end of the prediction, you would provide:

    {
  "input": {
    "text": "Alice"
  },
  "webhook": "https://example.com/my-webhook",
  "webhook_events_filter": ["start", "completed"]
}

    Requests for event types output and logs will be sent at most once every 500ms. If you request start and completed webhooks, then they'll always be sent regardless of throttling.

As models can take several minutes or more to train, the result will not be available immediately. To get the final result of the training you should either provide a webhook HTTPS URL for us to call when the results are ready, or poll the get a training endpoint until it has finished.

When a training completes, it creates a new version of the model at the specified destination.

To find some models to train on, check out the trainable language models collection.

URL Parameters

  • model_ownerstringRequired
    The name of the user or organization that owns the model.
  • model_namestringRequired
    The name of the model.
  • version_idstringRequired
    The ID of the version.

Request Body

  • destinationstringRequired

    A string representing the desired model to push to in the format {destination_model_owner}/{destination_model_name}. This should be an existing model owned by the user or organization making the API request. If the destination is invalid, the server will return an appropriate 4XX response.

  • inputobjectRequired

    An object containing inputs to the Cog model's train() function.

  • webhookstring
    An HTTPS URL for receiving a webhook when the training completes. The webhook will be a POST request where the request body is the same as the response body of the get training operation. If there are network problems, we will retry the webhook a few times, so make sure it can be safely called more than once. Replicate will not follow redirects when sending webhook requests to your service, so be sure to specify a URL that will resolve without redirecting.

  • By default, we will send requests to your webhook URL whenever there are new outputs or the training has finished. You can change which events trigger webhook requests by specifying webhook_events_filter in the training request:

    • start: immediately on training start
    • output: each time a training generates an output (note that trainings can generate multiple outputs)
    • logs: each time log output is generated by a training
    • completed: when the training reaches a terminal state (succeeded/canceled/failed)

    {
  "destination": "my-organization/my-model",
  "input": {
    "text": "Alice"
  },
  "webhook": "https://example.com/my-webhook",
  "webhook_events_filter": ["start", "completed"]

status will be one of:

  • starting: the training is starting up. If this status lasts longer than a few seconds, then it’s typically because a new worker is being started to run the training.
  • processing: the train() method of the model is currently running.
  • succeeded: the training completed successfully.
  • failed: the training encountered an error during processing.
  • canceled: the training was canceled by its creator.

In the case of success, output will be an object containing the output of the model. Any files will be represented as HTTPS URLs. You’ll need to pass the Authorization header to request them.

In the case of failure, error will contain the error encountered during the training.

Terminated trainings (with a status of succeeded, failed, or canceled) will include a metrics object with a predict_time property showing the amount of CPU or GPU time, in seconds, that the training used while running. It won’t include time waiting for the training to start. The metrics object will also include a total_time property showing the total time, in seconds, that the training took to complete.
