Sends messages to the specified Amazon Bedrock model. Converse provides a consistent interface that works with all models that support messages. This allows you to write code once and use it with different models. If a model has unique inference parameters, you can also pass those unique parameters to the model.

Amazon Bedrock doesn't store any text, images, or documents that you provide as content. The data is only used to generate the response.

You can submit a prompt by including it in the messages field, specifying the modelId of a foundation model or inference profile to run inference on it, and including any other fields that are relevant to your use case.

You can also submit a prompt from Prompt management by specifying the ARN of the prompt version and including a map of variables to values in the promptVariables field. You can append more messages to the prompt by using the messages field. If you use a prompt from Prompt management, you can't include the following fields in the request: additionalModelRequestFields, inferenceConfig, system, or toolConfig. Instead, these fields must be defined through Prompt management. For more information, see Use a prompt from Prompt management.

For information about the Converse API, see Use the Converse API in the Amazon Bedrock User Guide. To use a guardrail, see Use a guardrail with the Converse API in the Amazon Bedrock User Guide. To use a tool with a model, see Tool use (Function calling) in the Amazon Bedrock User Guide

For example code, see Converse API examples in the Amazon Bedrock User Guide.

This operation requires permission for the bedrock:InvokeModel action.

To deny all inference access to resources that you specify in the modelId field, you need to deny access to the bedrock:InvokeModel and bedrock:InvokeModelWithResponseStream actions. Doing this also denies access to the resource through the base inference actions (InvokeModel and InvokeModelWithResponseStream). For more information see Deny access for inference on specific models.

For troubleshooting some of the common errors you might encounter when using the Converse API, see Troubleshooting Amazon Bedrock API Error Codes in the Amazon Bedrock User Guide

post/model/{modelId}/converse

Path parameters

modelIdstring required

Specifies the model or throughput with which to run inference, or the prompt resource to use in inference. The value depends on the resource that you use: <ul> <li> If you use a base model, specify the model ID or its ARN. For a list of model IDs for base models, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/model-ids.html#model-ids-arns">Amazon Bedrock base model IDs (on-demand throughput)</a> in the Amazon Bedrock User Guide. </li> <li> If you use an inference profile, specify the inference profile ID or its ARN. For a list of inference profile IDs, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/cross-region-inference-support.html">Supported Regions and models for cross-region inference</a> in the Amazon Bedrock User Guide. </li> <li> If you use a provisioned model, specify the ARN of the Provisioned Throughput. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/prov-thru-use.html">Run inference using a Provisioned Throughput</a> in the Amazon Bedrock User Guide. </li> <li> If you use a custom model, first purchase Provisioned Throughput for it. Then specify the ARN of the resulting provisioned model. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/model-customization-use.html">Use a custom model in Amazon Bedrock</a> in the Amazon Bedrock User Guide. </li> <li> To include a prompt that was defined in <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/prompt-management.html">Prompt management</a>, specify the ARN of the prompt version to use. </li> </ul> The Converse API doesn't support <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/model-customization-import-model.html">imported models</a>.

Request body

additionalModelRequestFieldsobject

Additional inference parameters that the model supports, beyond the base set of inference parameters that <code>Converse</code> and <code>ConverseStream</code> support in the <code>inferenceConfig</code> field. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/model-parameters.html">Model parameters</a>.

promptVariablesobject

Contains a map of variables in a prompt from Prompt management to objects containing the values to fill in for them when running model invocation. This field is ignored if you don't specify a prompt resource in the <code>modelId</code> field.

additionalModelResponseFieldPathsConverseRequestAdditionalModelResponseFieldPathsListMemberString[]

Additional model parameters field paths to return in the response. <code>Converse</code> and <code>ConverseStream</code> return the requested fields as a JSON Pointer object in the <code>additionalModelResponseFields</code> field. The following is example JSON for <code>additionalModelResponseFieldPaths</code>. <code>[ "/stop_sequence" ]</code> For information about the JSON Pointer syntax, see the <a href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6901">Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)</a> documentation. <code>Converse</code> and <code>ConverseStream</code> reject an empty JSON Pointer or incorrectly structured JSON Pointer with a <code>400</code> error code. if the JSON Pointer is valid, but the requested field is not in the model response, it is ignored by <code>Converse</code>.

requestMetadataobject

Key-value pairs that you can use to filter invocation logs.

Response

Success

The reason why the model stopped generating output.

additionalModelResponseFieldsobject

Additional fields in the response that are unique to the model.
