Die Responses API erweitert Chat Completions um zustandsbehaftete Konversationen, integrierte Tools, Multimodal-Dateieingaben und die Steuerung von Reasoning. Sie ist der empfohlene Endpunkt für die Reasoning-Modelle o-series von OpenAI, die Modellreihe GPT-5 und Codex-Modelle.
Verschiedene Modellanbieter unterstützen unterschiedliche Anfrageparameter und geben unterschiedliche Antwortfelder zurück. Nicht alle im obigen Playground aufgeführten Parameter funktionieren mit jedem Modell auf CometAPI.

Zustandsbehaftete Konversationen verwenden

Verketten Sie Antworten mit previous_response_id, statt den Nachrichtenverlauf selbst zu verwalten:

Integrierte Tools verwenden

Die Responses API enthält von der Plattform bereitgestellte Tools, die keine Konfiguration erfordern: Um ein integriertes Tool zu aktivieren, fügen Sie es dem Array tools hinzu:

Benutzerdefinierte Funktionen aufrufen

Definieren Sie Funktionen, die das Modell mit strukturierten Argumenten aufrufen kann:
Wenn das Modell eine Funktion aufruft, enthält das Array output der Antwort ein Element function_call mit dem Funktionsnamen und den geparsten Argumenten. Führen Sie die Funktion aus und senden Sie das Ergebnis in einer Folgeanfrage zurück.

Strukturierte Ausgabe anfordern

Um JSON-Ausgabe zu erzwingen, die einem bestimmten Schema entspricht, verwenden Sie den Parameter text.format:

Reasoning konfigurieren

Für die Modelle o-series und GPT-5 steuern Sie die Tiefe des Reasoning mit reasoning.effort:
Ein höherer Reasoning-Aufwand erzeugt gründlichere Antworten, verwendet jedoch mehr Tokens. Verwenden Sie "low" für einfache Abfragen und "high" für komplexe Probleme mit mehreren Schritten.

Antworten streamen

Um inkrementelle Ausgabe zu erhalten, setzen Sie stream auf true. Die API sendet Server-Sent Events (SSE) in dieser Reihenfolge:
  1. response.created — Antwortobjekt initialisiert
  2. response.in_progress — Generierung gestartet
  3. response.output_item.added — Neues Ausgabeelement (Nachricht oder Tool-Aufruf)
  4. response.content_part.added — Inhaltsteil gestartet
  5. response.output_text.delta — Textabschnitt (enthält das Feld delta)
  6. response.output_text.done — Textgenerierung für diesen Inhaltsteil abgeschlossen
  7. response.content_part.done — Inhaltsteil abgeschlossen
  8. response.output_item.done — Ausgabeelement abgeschlossen
  9. response.completed — Vollständige Antwort mit Daten usage
Eine Antwort mit dem Python SDK streamen:

Autorisierungen

Authorization
string
header
erforderlich

Bearer token authentication. Use your CometAPI key.

Body

application/json
model
string
erforderlich

Model ID to use for this request. See the Models page for current options.

Beispiel:

"gpt-5.6-sol"

input
erforderlich

Text, image, or file inputs to the model, used to generate a response. Can be a simple string for text-only input, or an array of input items for multimodal content (images, files) and multi-turn conversations.

instructions
string

A system (or developer) message inserted into the model's context. When used with previous_response_id, instructions from the previous response are not carried over — this makes it easy to swap system messages between turns.

background
boolean
Standard:false

Whether to run the model response in the background. Background responses do not return output directly — you retrieve the result later via the response ID.

context_management
object[]

Context management configuration for this request. Controls how the model manages context when the conversation exceeds the context window.

conversation

The conversation this response belongs to. Items from the conversation are prepended to input for context. Input and output items are automatically added to the conversation after the response completes. Cannot be used with previous_response_id.

include
enum<string>[]

Additional output data to include in the response. Use this to request extra information that is not included by default.

Verfügbare Optionen:
web_search_call.action.sources,
code_interpreter_call.outputs,
computer_call_output.output.image_url,
file_search_call.results,
message.input_image.image_url,
message.output_text.logprobs,
reasoning.encrypted_content
max_output_tokens
integer

An upper bound for the number of tokens that can be generated for a response, including visible output tokens and reasoning tokens.

max_tool_calls
integer

The maximum number of total calls to built-in tools that can be processed in a response. This limit applies across all built-in tool calls, not per individual tool. Any further tool call attempts by the model will be ignored.

metadata
object

Set of up to 16 key-value pairs that can be attached to the response. Useful for storing additional information in a structured format. Keys have a maximum length of 64 characters; values have a maximum length of 512 characters.

parallel_tool_calls
boolean
Standard:true

Whether to allow the model to run tool calls in parallel.

previous_response_id
string

The unique ID of a previous response. Use this to create multi-turn conversations without manually managing conversation state. Cannot be used with conversation.

prompt
object

Reference to a prompt template and its variables.

prompt_cache_key
string

A key used to cache responses for similar requests, helping optimize cache hit rates. Replaces the deprecated user field for caching purposes.

prompt_cache_retention
enum<string>

The retention policy for the prompt cache. Set to 24h to keep cached prefixes active for up to 24 hours.

Verfügbare Optionen:
in-memory,
24h
reasoning
object

Configuration options for reasoning models (o-series and gpt-5). Controls the depth of reasoning before generating a response.

safety_identifier
string

A stable identifier for your end-users, used to help detect policy violations. Should be a hashed username or email — do not send identifying information directly.

Maximum string length: 64
service_tier
enum<string>

Specifies the processing tier for the request. When set, the response will include the actual service_tier used.

  • auto: Uses the tier configured in project settings (default behavior).
  • default: Standard pricing and performance.
  • flex: Flexible processing with potential cost savings.
  • priority: Priority processing with faster response times.
Verfügbare Optionen:
auto,
default,
flex,
priority
store
boolean
Standard:true

Whether to store the generated response for later retrieval via API.

stream
boolean
Standard:false

If set to true, the response data will be streamed to the client as it is generated using server-sent events (SSE). Events include response.created, response.output_text.delta, response.completed, and more.

stream_options
object

Options for streaming responses. Only set this when stream is true.

temperature
number
Standard:1

Sampling temperature between 0 and 2. Higher values (e.g., 0.8) increase randomness; lower values (e.g., 0.2) make output more focused and deterministic. We recommend adjusting either this or top_p, but not both.

Erforderlicher Bereich: 0 <= x <= 2
text
object

Configuration for text output. Use this to request structured JSON output via JSON mode or JSON Schema.

tool_choice
Standard:auto

Controls how the model selects which tool(s) to call.

  • auto (default): The model decides whether and which tools to call.
  • none: The model will not call any tools.
  • required: The model must call at least one tool.
  • An object specifying a particular tool to use.
tools
object[]

An array of tools the model may call while generating a response. CometAPI supports three categories:

  • Built-in tools: Platform-provided tools like web_search_preview and file_search.
  • Function calls: Custom functions you define, enabling the model to call your own code with structured arguments.
  • MCP tools: Integrations with third-party systems via MCP servers.
top_logprobs
integer

Number of most likely tokens to return at each position (0–20), each with an associated log probability. Must include message.output_text.logprobs in the include parameter to receive logprobs.

Erforderlicher Bereich: 0 <= x <= 20
top_p
number
Standard:1

Nucleus sampling parameter. The model considers tokens with top_p cumulative probability mass. For example, 0.1 means only the top 10% probability tokens are considered. We recommend adjusting either this or temperature, but not both.

Erforderlicher Bereich: 0 <= x <= 1
truncation
enum<string>
Standard:disabled

The truncation strategy for handling inputs that exceed the model's context window.

  • auto: The model truncates the input by dropping items from the beginning of the conversation to fit.
  • disabled (default): The request fails with a 400 error if the input exceeds the context window.
Verfügbare Optionen:
auto,
disabled
user
string
veraltet

Deprecated. Use safety_identifier and prompt_cache_key instead. A stable identifier for your end-user.
