WARNING

You can choose either of the following ingestion options when creating a dataset, but not both:

Use a built-in chunk method -- specify "chunk_method" (optionally with "parser_config").
Use an ingestion pipeline -- specify both "parse_type" and "pipeline_id".

If none of "chunk_method", "parse_type", or "pipeline_id" are provided, the system defaults to chunk_method = "naive".

Request parameters[](https://ragflow.io/docs/v0.23.1/http_api_reference#request-parameters-24 "Direct link to Request parameters")

"name": (Body parameter), string, Required
The name of the chat assistant.
"avatar": (Body parameter), string
Base64 encoding of the avatar.
"dataset_ids": (Body parameter), list[string]
The IDs of the associated datasets.
"llm": (Body parameter), object
The LLM settings for the chat assistant to create. If it is not explicitly set, a JSON object with the following values will be generated as the default. An llm JSON object contains the following attributes:
- "model_name", string
  The chat model name. If not set, the user's default chat model will be used.
WARNING

model_type is an internal parameter, serving solely as a temporary workaround for the current model-configuration design limitations.

Its main purpose is to let multimodal models (stored in the database as "image2text") pass backend validation/dispatching. Be mindful that:
- Do not treat it as a stable public API.
- It is subject to change or removal in future releases.
- "model_type": string
  A model type specifier. Only "chat" and "image2text" are recognized; any other inputs, or when omitted, are treated as "chat".
- "model_name", string
- "temperature": float
  Controls the randomness of the model's predictions. A lower temperature results in more conservative responses, while a higher temperature yields more creative and diverse responses. Defaults to 0.1.
- "top_p": float
  Also known as “nucleus sampling”, this parameter sets a threshold to select a smaller set of words to sample from. It focuses on the most likely words, cutting off the less probable ones. Defaults to 0.3
- "presence_penalty": float
  This discourages the model from repeating the same information by penalizing words that have already appeared in the conversation. Defaults to 0.4.
- "frequency penalty": float
  Similar to the presence penalty, this reduces the model’s tendency to repeat the same words frequently. Defaults to 0.7.
"prompt": (Body parameter), object
Instructions for the LLM to follow. If it is not explicitly set, a JSON object with the following values will be generated as the default. A prompt JSON object contains the following attributes:
- "similarity_threshold": float RAGFlow employs either a combination of weighted keyword similarity and weighted vector cosine similarity, or a combination of weighted keyword similarity and weighted reranking score during retrieval. This argument sets the threshold for similarities between the user query and chunks. If a similarity score falls below this threshold, the corresponding chunk will be excluded from the results. The default value is 0.2.
- "keywords_similarity_weight": float This argument sets the weight of keyword similarity in the hybrid similarity score with vector cosine similarity or reranking model similarity. By adjusting this weight, you can control the influence of keyword similarity in relation to other similarity measures. The default value is 0.7.
- "top_n": int This argument specifies the number of top chunks with similarity scores above the similarity_threshold that are fed to the LLM. The LLM will only access these 'top N' chunks. The default value is 6.
- "variables": object[] This argument lists the variables to use in the 'System' field of Chat Configurations. Note that:
  - "knowledge" is a reserved variable, which represents the retrieved chunks.
  - All the variables in 'System' should be curly bracketed.
  - The default value is [{"key": "knowledge", "optional": true}].
- "rerank_model": string If it is not specified, vector cosine similarity will be used; otherwise, reranking score will be used.
- top_k: int Refers to the process of reordering or selecting the top-k items from a list or set based on a specific ranking criterion. Default to 1024.
- "empty_response": string If nothing is retrieved in the dataset for the user's question, this will be used as the response. To allow the LLM to improvise when nothing is found, leave this blank.
- "opener": string The opening greeting for the user. Defaults to "Hi! I am your assistant, can I help you?".
- "show_quote: boolean Indicates whether the source of text should be displayed. Defaults to true.
- "prompt": string The prompt content.

Converse with agent[](https://ragflow.io/docs/v0.23.1/http_api_reference#converse-with-agent "Direct link to Converse with agent")

POST /api/v1/agents/{agent_id}/completions

Asks a specified agent a question to start an AI-powered conversation.

NOTE

In streaming mode, not all responses include a reference, as this depends on the system's judgement.
In streaming mode, the last message is an empty message:
```
[DONE]
```
You can optionally return step-by-step trace logs (see return_trace below).

Request[](https://ragflow.io/docs/v0.23.1/http_api_reference#request-36 "Direct link to Request")

Method: POST
URL: /api/v1/agents/{agent_id}/completions
Headers:
- 'content-Type: application/json'
- 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>'
Body:
- "question": string
- "stream": boolean
- "session_id": string (optional)
- "inputs": object (optional)
- "user_id": string (optional)
- "return_trace": boolean (optional, default false) — include execution trace logs.

Streaming events to handle[](https://ragflow.io/docs/v0.23.1/http_api_reference#streaming-events-to-handle "Direct link to Streaming events to handle")

When stream=true, the server sends Server-Sent Events (SSE). Clients should handle these event types:

message: streaming content from Message components.
message_end: end of a Message component; may include reference/attachment.
node_finished: a component finishes; data.inputs/outputs/error/elapsed_time describe the node result. If return_trace=true, the trace is attached inside the same node_finished event (data.trace).

The stream terminates with [DONE].

IMPORTANT

You can include custom parameters in the request body, but first ensure they are defined in the Begin component.

Request example[](https://ragflow.io/docs/v0.23.1/http_api_reference#request-example-33 "Direct link to Request example")

If the Begin component does not take parameters:

curl --request POST \     --url http://{address}/api/v1/agents/{agent_id}/completions \     --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \     --header 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>' \     --data-binary '     {        "question": "Hello",        "stream": false,     }'

If the Begin component takes parameters, include their values in the body of "inputs" as follows:

curl --request POST \     --url http://{address}/api/v1/agents/{agent_id}/completions \     --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \     --header 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>' \     --data-binary '    {        "question": "Hello",        "stream": false,        "inputs": {            "line_var": {                "type": "line",                "value": "I am line_var"            },            "int_var": {                "type": "integer",                "value": 1            },            "paragraph_var": {                "type": "paragraph",                "value": "a\nb\nc"            },            "option_var": {                "type": "options",                "value": "option 2"            },            "boolean_var": {                "type": "boolean",                "value": true            }        }    }'

The following code will execute the completion process

curl --request POST \     --url http://{address}/api/v1/agents/{agent_id}/completions \     --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \     --header 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>' \     --data-binary '     {          "question": "Hello",          "stream": true,          "session_id": "cb2f385cb86211efa36e0242ac120005"     }'

Request Parameters[](https://ragflow.io/docs/v0.23.1/http_api_reference#request-parameters-32 "Direct link to Request Parameters")

agent_id: (Path parameter), string
The ID of the associated agent.
"question": (Body Parameter), string, Required
The question to start an AI-powered conversation.
"stream": (Body Parameter), boolean
Indicates whether to output responses in a streaming way:
- true: Enable streaming (default).
- false: Disable streaming.
"session_id": (Body Parameter)
The ID of the session. If it is not provided, a new session will be generated.
"inputs": (Body Parameter)
Variables specified in the Begin component.
"user_id": (Body parameter), string
The optional user-defined ID. Valid only when no session_id is provided.

NOTE

For now, this method does not support a file type input/variable. As a workaround, use the following to upload a file to an agent:
http://{address}/v1/canvas/upload/{agent_id}
You will get a corresponding file ID from its response body.

Response[](https://ragflow.io/docs/v0.23.1/http_api_reference#response-36 "Direct link to Response")

success without session_id provided and with no variables specified in the Begin component:
