Operations
| Operation | modelId | Endpoint | Required input |

| Poll task | — | GET /api/v1/task/{id}?model=claude-sonnet-4-6 | — |
Input parameters
| Field | Type | Required | Values / example |
|---|---|---|---|
| prompt | string | Yes | Text value (example: Write a punchy, memorable product tagline for a solar-powered hiking backpack, then explain your reasoning in one crisp line.) |
| memory | boolean | No | Automatically append previous messages to maintain multi-turn context. May increase token usage. (true/false) (default: false) |
| thinking | boolean | No | Include the model's thinking process in the response (true/false) (default: true) |
| max_tokens | number | No | Optional Claude output token limit. Leave empty to use the default of 4096. (range 1-128000) |
| stream | boolean | No | Send true to receive the reply as an event stream (Content-Type: text/event-stream). Omit it and you get a single JSON response — streaming is opt-in on this endpoint. (true/false) (example: true) |
| system | string | No | System instruction for the model. Defaults to "You are Claude Sonnet 4.6, developed by Anthropic." when omitted. |
| messages | array | No | A conversation instead of a single `prompt`: up to 20 objects of { "role", "content" }, where role is user, assistant or system. Send `prompt` or `messages`, not both. Do not flatten a conversation into one prompt with "User:" / "Assistant:" labels — the model reads that as a single message, and a model using web search then searches for the whole block instead of your question. |
