Embeddings Request

Request body for creating embeddings

Properties

Name Type Description
input object Input text to embed, encoded as a string or array of strings. Maximum 512 texts per request. Each input must not exceed 32K tokens. All inputs in a single request must not exceed 120,000 tokens combin
model string The embedding model to use
dimensions integer Number of dimensions for output embeddings (Matryoshka). Range: 128-1024 for pplx-embed-v1-0.6b, 128-2560 for pplx-embed-v1-4b. Defaults to full dimensions (1024 or 2560).
encoding_format string Output encoding format for embeddings. base64_int8 returns base64-encoded signed int8 values. base64_binary returns base64-encoded packed binary (1 bit per dimension).
