properties:
series:
$ref: '#/components/schemas/SeriesWithFutureExogenous'
freq:
type: string
title: Freq
description: The frequency of the data represented as a string. 'D' for daily, 'M' for monthly, 'H' for hourly, and 'W' for weekly frequencies are available.
n_windows:
type: integer
exclusiveMinimum: 0
title: N Windows
description: Number of windows to evaluate.
default: 1
h:
type: integer
exclusiveMinimum: 0
title: H
description: The forecasting horizon. This represents the number of time steps into the future that the forecast should predict.
full_history:
type: boolean
title: Full History
description: Forecast across the entire series history (the `add_history` use case). The horizon and number of windows are derived server-side (any supplied `h` / `n_windows` are ignored), and the exogenous model is refit a bounded number of times to keep whole-history requests fast. Has no effect without exogenous features.
default: false
model:
type: string
title: Model
description: Model to use as a string. Common options are (but not restricted to) `timegpt-1` and `timegpt-1-long-horizon.` Full options vary by different users. Contact support@nixtla.io for more information. We recommend using `timegpt-1-long-horizon` for forecasting if you want to predict more than one seasonal period given the frequency of your data.
default: timegpt-1
clean_ex_first:
type: boolean
title: Clean Ex First
description: A boolean flag that indicates whether the API should preprocess (clean) the exogenous signal before applying the large time model. If True, the exogenous signal is cleaned; if False, the exogenous variables are applied after the large time model.
default: true

title: Level
description: A list of values representing the prediction intervals. Each value is a percentage that indicates the level of certainty for the corresponding prediction interval. For example, [80, 90] defines 80% and 90% prediction intervals.
finetune_steps:
type: integer
minimum: 0
title: Finetune Steps
description: The number of tuning steps used to train the large time model on the data. Set this value to 0 for zero-shot inference, i.e., to make predictions without any further model tuning.
default: 0
finetune_loss:
type: string
enum:
- default
- mae
- mse
- rmse
- mape
- smape
- poisson
title: Finetune Loss
description: The loss used to train the large time model on the data. Select from ['default', 'mae', 'mse', 'rmse', 'mape', 'smape', 'poisson']. It will only be used if finetune_steps larger than 0. Default is a robust loss function that is less sensitive to outliers.
default: default
finetune_depth:
type: integer
enum:
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
title: Finetune Depth
description: The depth of the finetuning. Uses a scale from 1 to 5, where 1 means little finetuning, and 5 means that the entire model is finetuned. Note that this parameter is only effective for timegpt-1 and timegpt-1-long-horizon models, meanwhile it has no effect on the other models. By default, the value is set to 1.
default: 1
finetuned_model_id:
anyOf:
- type: string
pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9\-_]{1,36}$
- type: 'null'
title: Finetuned Model Id
description: ID of previously finetuned model
step_size:
anyOf:
- type: integer
exclusiveMinimum: 0
- type: 'null'
title: Step Size
description: Step size between each cross validation window. If None it will be equal to the forecasting horizon.
hist_exog:
anyOf:
- items:
type: integer
minimum: 0
type: array
- type: 'null'
title: Hist Exog
description: Zero-based indices of the exogenous features to treat as historical.
refit:
type: boolean
title: Refit
description: Fine-tune the model in each window. If `False`, only fine-tunes on the first window. Only used if `finetune_steps` > 0.
default: true
multivariate:
type: boolean
title: Multivariate
description: Compute multivariate predictions across a batch of multiple time series. Requires all time series with overlapping dates. Note that this is only effective for timegpt-2.1 model and it has no effect on the other models. By default, the value is set to False.
default: false
