NVIDIA NIM Embeddings API is one of 11 APIs that [NVIDIA NIM](https://apis.io/providers/nvidia-nim/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. This API exposes 1 JSON Schema definition. Tagged areas include Artificial Intelligence, Embeddings, Retrieval, RAG, and OpenAI-Compatible. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, an OpenAPI specification, and 1 JSON Schema.

OpenAI-compatible embeddings endpoint (/v1/embeddings) backed by NVIDIA NeMo Retriever text embedding models including NV-Embed, NV-EmbedQA-E5, llama-3.2-nv-embedqa-1b, and BAAI BGE-M3. Returns dense float vectors for documents or queries to power RAG, semantic search, and clustering. Supports `input_type=passage|query` for asymmetric retrieval and the standard `dimensions` parameter on models that permit dimension reduction.
