Overview
Cohere API is a ai & machine learning apis provided by Cohere. NLP platform for text generation, classification, embedding, and reranking with Command R models. This API is designed to help developers integrate ai-ml capabilities into their applications with minimal setup and maximum reliability.
The API supports Bearer Token authentication, ensuring secure access to all endpoints. With a usage-based pricing model, Cohere offers flexible options for projects of any size, from prototypes to enterprise deployments.
Cohere maintains comprehensive documentation, SDKs for popular programming languages, and active community support. The API is built on REST principles, returning JSON responses with standard HTTP status codes, making it straightforward to integrate into existing workflows.
Authentication
This API uses Bearer Token authentication. Send your API key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header of each request. The format is: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY.
Always store your credentials securely using environment variables or a secrets manager. Never commit API keys to version control or expose them in client-side code.
Code Samples
Python
import requests
import os
API_KEY = os.environ.get("API_KEY", "YOUR_API_KEY")
BASE_URL = "https://api.cohere.ai"
headers = {
"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
response = requests.get(f"{BASE_URL}/v1/resources", headers=headers)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.json())
JavaScript
const API_KEY = process.env.API_KEY || 'YOUR_API_KEY';
const BASE_URL = 'https://api.cohere.ai';
const response = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/v1/resources`, {
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
cURL
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \

Go
package main
import (
"net/http"
"fmt"
"io"
"os"
)
func main() {
apiKey := os.Getenv("API_KEY")
if apiKey == "" {
apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "https://api.cohere.ai/v1/resources", nil)
req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer " + apiKey)
req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
resp, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
defer resp.Body.Close()
body, _ := io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
fmt.Println(string(body))
}
