Learn how to use the Prediction, Vector Upsert and Message API

---

1. Prediction API

• POST /api/v1/prediction/{your-chatflowid}

Request Body

Key	Description	Type	Required
question	User's question	string	Yes
overrideConfig	Override existing flow configuration	object	No
history	Prepend history messages at the start of conversation	array	No

You can use the chatflow as API and connect to frontend applications.

Override Config

You also have the flexibility to override input configuration with overrideConfig property.

Python

import requests
API_URL = "http://<yourtenant>.tailwinds.innovativesol.com/api/v1/prediction/&#x3C;chatlfowid>"

def query(payload):
    response = requests.post(API_URL, json=payload)
    return response.json()
    
output = query({
    "question": "Hey, how are you?",
    "overrideConfig": {
        "sessionId": "123",
        "returnSourceDocuments": true
    }
})

Javascript

async function query(data) {
    const response = await fetch(
        "http://<yourtenant>.tailwinds.innovativesol.com/api/v1/prediction/<chatlfowid>",
        {
            method: "POST",
            headers: {
                "Content-Type": "application/json"
            },
            body: JSON.stringify(data)
        }
    );
    const result = await response.json();
    return result;
}

query({
    "question": "Hey, how are you?",
    "overrideConfig": {
        "sessionId": "123",
        "returnSourceDocuments": true
    }
}).then((response) => {
    console.log(response);
});

History

You can prepend history messages to give some context to LLM. For example, if you want the LLM to remember user's name:

Python

import requests
API_URL = "http://localhost:3000/api/v1/prediction/<chatlfowid>"

def query(payload):
    response = requests.post(API_URL, json=payload)
    return response.json()
    
output = query({
    "question": "Hey, how are you?",
    "history": [
        {
            "role": "apiMessage",
            "content": "Hello how can I help?"
        },
        {
            "role": "userMessage",
            "content": "Hi my name is Brian"
        },
        {
            "role": "apiMessage",
            "content": "Hi Brian, how can I help?"
        },
    ]
})

Javascript

async function query(data) {
    const response = await fetch(
        "http://localhost:3000/api/v1/prediction/<chatlfowid>",
        {
            method: "POST",
            headers: {
                "Content-Type": "application/json"
            },
            body: JSON.stringify(data)
        }
    );
    const result = await response.json();
    return result;
}

query({
    "question": "Hey, how are you?",
    "history": [
        {
            "role": "apiMessage",
            "content": "Hello how can I help?"
        },
        {
            "role": "userMessage",
            "content": "Hi my name is Brian"
        },
        {
            "role": "apiMessage",
            "content": "Hi Brian, how can I help?"
        },
    ]
}).then((response) => {
    console.log(response);
});

Persists Memory

If the chatflow contains Memory nodes, you can pass a sessionId to persists the state of the conversation, so the every subsequent API calls will have context about previous conversation. Otherwise, a new session will be generated each time.

Python

import requests
API_URL = "http://<yourtenant>.tailwinds.innovativesol.com/api/v1/prediction/&#x3C;chatlfowid>"

def query(payload):
    response = requests.post(API_URL, json=payload)
    return response.json()
    
output = query({
    "question": "Hey, how are you?",
    "overrideConfig": {
        "sessionId": "123"
    } 
})

Javascript

async function query(data) {
    const response = await fetch(
        "http://<yourtenant>.tailwinds.innovativesol.com/api/v1/prediction/<chatlfowid>",
        {
            method: "POST",
            headers: {
                "Content-Type": "application/json"
            },
            body: JSON.stringify(data)
        }
    );
    const result = await response.json();
    return result;
}

query({
    "question": "Hey, how are you?",
    "overrideConfig": {
        "sessionId": "123"
    }
}).then((response) => {
    console.log(response);
});

Image Uploads

When Allow Image Upload is enabled, images can be uploaded from chat interface.

Python

import requests
API_URL = "http://<yourtenant>.tailwinds.innovativesol.com/api/v1/prediction/&#x3C;chatlfowid>"

def query(payload):
    response = requests.post(API_URL, json=payload)
    return response.json()
    
output = query({
    "question": "Can you describe the image?",
    "uploads": [
        {
            "data": 'data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgdM2uN0', # base64 string or url
            "type": 'file', # file | url
            "name": 'image.png',
            "mime": 'image/png'
        }
    ]
})

Javascript

async function query(data) {
    const response = await fetch(
        "http://<yourtenant>.tailwinds.innovativesol.com/api/v1/prediction/<chatlfowid>",
        {
            method: "POST",
            headers: {
                "Content-Type": "application/json"
            },
            body: JSON.stringify(data)
        }
    );
    const result = await response.json();
    return result;
}

query({
    "question": "Can you describe the image?",
    "uploads": [
        {
            "data": 'data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgdM2uN0', //base64 string or url
            "type": 'file', //file | url
            "name": 'Flowise.png',
            "mime": 'image/png'
        }
    ]
}).then((response) => {
    console.log(response);
});

Speech to Text

When Speech to Text is enabled, users can speak directly into microphone and speech will be transcribed into text.

Python

import requests
API_URL = "http://<yourtenant>.tailwinds.innovativesol.com/api/v1/prediction/&#x3C;chatlfowid>"

def query(payload):
    response = requests.post(API_URL, json=payload)
    return response.json()
    
output = query({
    "uploads": [
        {
            "data": 'data:audio/webm;codecs=opus;base64,GkXf', #base64 string
            "type": 'audio',
            "name": 'audio.wav',
            "mime": 'audio/webm'
        }
    ]
})

Javascript

async function query(data) {
    const response = await fetch(
        "http://<yourtenant>.tailwinds.innovativesol.com/api/v1/prediction/<chatlfowid>",
        {
            method: "POST",
            headers: {
                "Content-Type": "application/json"
            },
            body: JSON.stringify(data)
        }
    );
    const result = await response.json();
    return result;
}

query({
    "uploads": [
        {
            "data": 'data:audio/webm;codecs=opus;base64,GkXf', //base64 string
            "type": 'audio',
            "name": 'audio.wav',
            "mime": 'audio/webm'
        }
    ]
}).then((response) => {
    console.log(response);
});

Authentication

You can assign an API key to the prediction API from the UI. Refer Chatflows and APIs for more details.

The Authorization header must be provided with the correct API key specified during a HTTP call.

"Authorization": "Bearer <your-api-key>"

2. Vector Upsert API

• POST /api/v1/vector/upsert/{your-chatflowid}

Request Body

Key	Description	Type	Required
overrideConfig	Override existing flow configuration	object	No
stopNodeId	Node ID of the vector store. When you have multiple vector stores in a flow, you might not want to upsert all of them. Specifying stopNodeId will ensure only that specific vector store node is upserted.	array	No

Document Loaders with Upload

Some document loaders in Tailwinds allow user to upload files:

If the flow contains Document Loaders with Upload File functionality, the API looks slightly different. Instead of passing body as JSON, form-data is being used. This allows you to upload any files to the API.

It is user's responsibility to make sure the file type is compatible with the expected file type from document loader. For example, if a Text File Loader is being used, you should only upload file with .txt extension.

Python

import requests

API_URL = "http://<yourtenant>.tailwinds.innovativesol.com/api/v1/vector/upsert/<chatlfowid>"

# use form data to upload files
form_data = {
    "files": ('state_of_the_union.txt', open('state_of_the_union.txt', 'rb'))
}

body_data = {
    "returnSourceDocuments": True
}

def query(form_data):
    response = requests.post(API_URL, files=form_data, data=body_data)
    print(response)
    return response.json()

output = query(form_data)
print(output)

Javascript

// use FormData to upload files
let formData = new FormData();
formData.append("files", input.files[0]);
formData.append("returnSourceDocuments", true);

async function query(formData) {
    const response = await fetch(
        "http://localhost:3000/api/v1/vector/upsert/<chatlfowid>",
        {
            method: "POST",
            body: formData
        }
    );
    const result = await response.json();
    return result;
}

query(formData).then((response) => {
    console.log(response);
});

Document Loaders without Upload

For other Document Loaders nodes without Upload File functionality, the API body is in JSON format similar to Prediction API.

Python

import requests

API_URL = "http://<yourtenant>.tailwinds.innovativesol.com/api/v1/vector/upsert/<chatlfowid>"

def query(form_data):
    response = requests.post(API_URL, json=payload)
    print(response)
    return response.json()

output = query({
    "overrideConfig": { # optional
        "returnSourceDocuments": true
    }
})
print(output)

Javascript

async function query(data) {
    const response = await fetch(
        "http://localhost:3000/api/v1/vector/upsert/<chatlfowid>",
        {
            method: "POST",
            headers: {
                "Content-Type": "application/json"
            },
            body: JSON.stringify(data)
        }
    );
    const result = await response.json();
    return result;
}

query({
    "overrideConfig": { // optional
        "returnSourceDocuments": true
    }
}).then((response) => {
    console.log(response);
});

Authentication

You can assign an API key to the prediction API from the UI. Refer Chatflows and APIs for more details.

The Authorization header must be provided with the correct API key specified during a HTTP call.

"Authorization": "Bearer <your-api-key>"

3. Message API
