Use this endpoint to call the model associated with the specified environment asynchronously.

🆕 Async inference by environment

Use this endpoint to call the [production deployment](/deploy/lifecycle) of your model asynchronously.

Use this endpoint to call the [development deployment](/deploy/lifecycle) of your model asynchronously.

Use this endpoint to call any [published deployment](/deploy/lifecycle) of your model.

Use this endpoint to get the status of an async request.

Get async request status

Use this endpoint to cancel a queued async request.

Cancel async request

Use this endpoint to get the status of a production deployment's async queue.

Use this endpoint to get the async queue status for a model associated with the specified environment.

Environment deployment

Use this endpoint to get the status of a development deployment's async queue.

Use this endpoint to get the status of a published deployment's async queue.

Get all secrets

Creates a new secret or updates an existing secret if one with the provided name already exists. The name and creation date of the created or updated secret is returned.

Upsert a secret

Creates an environment for the specified model and returns the environment.

Create model environment

Get all model environments

Gets an environment's details and returns the environment.

Get model environment

Updates an environment's settings and returns the updated environment.

Update model environment

Create a chain environment. Returns the resulting environment.

Create chain environment
