Prerequisites

Users familiar with the OpenAI ecosystem can use the OpenAI-compatible API for a quick migration. The DashScope API provides more unique features.

Obtain an API key and export the API key as an environment variable. If you use an SDK to make calls, install the DashScope SDK.

OpenAI compatibility

The base_url to configure for SDK calls:

  • Singapore: https://{WorkspaceId}.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1. Replace WorkspaceId with your actual workspace ID.

  • China (Beijing): https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1

  • China (Hong Kong): https://{WorkspaceId}.cn-hongkong.maas.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1. Replace WorkspaceId with your actual workspace ID.

The endpoint to configure for HTTP calls:

  • Singapore: POSThttps://{WorkspaceId}.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1/embeddings. Replace WorkspaceId with your actual workspace ID.

  • China (Beijing): POSThttps://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1/embeddings

  • China (Hong Kong): POST https://{WorkspaceId}.cn-hongkong.maas.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1/embeddings. Replace WorkspaceId with your actual workspace ID.

Important

The legacy Singapore domain https://dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com and China (Hong Kong) domain https://cn-hongkong.dashscope.aliyuncs.com will be discontinued. Migrate to https://{WorkspaceId}.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com (Singapore) and https://{WorkspaceId}.cn-hongkong.maas.aliyuncs.com (China (Hong Kong)) as soon as possible.

model string required

The name of the model to call. See the Model overview table for model names.

input array<string> or string or file required

The input text to process. The input can be a string, an array of strings, or a file.

If the input is a string, the maximum length is 8,192 tokens. If the input is a list of strings or a file, the maximum batch size is 10 items (lines), and each item (line) can contain up to 8,192 tokens.

dimensions integer optional

The dimension of the output embedding vectors. Must be one of the following values: 2048 (for text-embedding-v4 only), 1536 (for text-embedding-v4 only), 1024, 768, 512, 256, 128, or 64. The default value is 1024.

encoding_format string optional

The returned embedding format. Currently, only float is supported.

The name of the model used for this call.

object string

The object type. The value is always list.

usage object

Property

prompt_tokens integer

The number of tokens in the input text.

DashScope

base_url for SDK calls:

  • China (Beijing): https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/api/v1

  • China (Hong Kong): https://{WorkspaceId}.cn-hongkong.maas.aliyuncs.com/api/v1. Replace WorkspaceId with your actual workspace ID.

Endpoint for HTTP calls:

  • Singapore: POST https://{WorkspaceId}.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/embeddings/text-embedding/text-embedding. Replace WorkspaceId with your actual workspace ID.

  • China (Beijing): POST https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/embeddings/text-embedding/text-embedding

  • China (Hong Kong): POST https://{WorkspaceId}.cn-hongkong.maas.aliyuncs.com/api/v1/services/embeddings/text-embedding/text-embedding. Replace WorkspaceId with your actual workspace ID.

Important

The legacy China (Hong Kong) URL https://cn-hongkong.dashscope.aliyuncs.com/api/v1 will be deprecated soon. Please migrate to the new URL https://{WorkspaceId}.cn-hongkong.maas.aliyuncs.com/api/v1 as soon as possible.

Important

Model Studio has released a workspace-specific domain for the Singapore region: https://{WorkspaceId}.ap-southeast-1.maas.aliyuncs.com. The new dedicated domain delivers superior performance and higher stability for inference requests. We recommend migrating from https://dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com to the new domain.

{WorkspaceId} is your workspace ID, which can be found on the Workspace Details page in the Model Studio console. The existing domain remains fully functional.

model string required

The model to use. For a list of available models, see the Model overview table.

input string or array<string> required

The text to process. The input can be a string, an array of strings, or a file.

A single string can be up to 8,192 tokens. A list of strings or a file can contain up to 10 items (lines), with each item up to 8,192 tokens.

text_type string optional

When making an HTTP call, place text_type in the parameters object.

Text converted to embeddings can be applied to downstream tasks such as retrieval, clustering, and classification. For asymmetric tasks such as retrieval, it is recommended to differentiate between query text (query) and document text (document) to achieve better retrieval performance. For symmetric tasks such as indexing, clustering, and classification, you can simply use the system default value of document.

dimension integer optional

When making an HTTP call, place dimension in the parameters object.

Specifies the embedding dimension for the output vector. Valid values are 2048 (for text-embedding-v4 only), 1536 (for text-embedding-v4 only), 1024, 768, 512, 256, 128, or 64. Defaults to 1024.

output_type string optional

When making an HTTP call, place output_type in the parameters object.

Specifies the output vector type. This parameter applies only to the text-embedding-v3 and text-embedding-v4 models. Valid values are dense, sparse, and dense&sparse. Defaults to dense, which returns only the dense vector representation.

instruct string optional

Provides custom instructions to guide the model in understanding the query intent. English instructions are recommended, as they typically improve performance by 1% to 5%.
