Create run
Deprecated
POST/threads/{thread_id}/runs
Create a run.
Path Parameters
thread_id: string
Query Parameters
A list of additional fields to include in the response. Currently the only supported value is step_details.tool_calls[*].file_search.results[*].content to fetch the file search result content.
See the file search tool documentation for more information.
Body ParametersJSON
assistant_id: string
The ID of the assistant to use to execute this run.
additional_instructions: optional string
Appends additional instructions at the end of the instructions for the run. This is useful for modifying the behavior on a per-run basis without overriding other instructions.
instructions: optional string
Overrides the instructions of the assistant. This is useful for modifying the behavior on a per-run basis.
max_completion_tokens: optional number
The maximum number of completion tokens that may be used over the course of the run. The run will make a best effort to use only the number of completion tokens specified, across multiple turns of the run. If the run exceeds the number of completion tokens specified, the run will end with status incomplete. See incomplete_details for more info.
minimum256
max_prompt_tokens: optional number
The maximum number of prompt tokens that may be used over the course of the run. The run will make a best effort to use only the number of prompt tokens specified, across multiple turns of the run. If the run exceeds the number of prompt tokens specified, the run will end with status incomplete. See incomplete_details for more info.
minimum256
Set of 16 key-value pairs that can be attached to an object. This can be useful for storing additional information about the object in a structured format, and querying for objects via API or the dashboard.
Keys are strings with a maximum length of 64 characters. Values are strings with a maximum length of 512 characters.
parallel_tool_calls: optional boolean
Whether to enable parallel function calling during tool use.
stream: optional boolean
If true, returns a stream of events that happen during the Run as server-sent events, terminating when the Run enters a terminal state with a data: [DONE] message.
temperature: optional number
What sampling temperature to use, between 0 and 2. Higher values like 0.8 will make the output more random, while lower values like 0.2 will make it more focused and deterministic.
minimum0
maximum2
top_p: optional number
An alternative to sampling with temperature, called nucleus sampling, where the model considers the results of the tokens with top_p probability mass. So 0.1 means only the tokens comprising the top 10% probability mass are considered.
We generally recommend altering this or temperature but not both.
