REST API (11)

Last updated Apr 21, 2026 If you prefer to work directly with the REST API instead of a Cloudflare Worker, below are the steps on how to do it:

1. Sending a Batch Request

Make a POST request using the following pattern. You can pass external_reference as a unique ID per-request that will be returned in the response.

Sending a batch requestbash

curl "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/$ACCOUNT_ID/ai/run/@cf/baai/bge-m3?queueRequest=true" \
 --header "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN" \
 --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 --json '{
    "requests": [
        {
            "query": "This is a story about Cloudflare",
            "contexts": [
                {
                    "text": "This is a story about an orange cloud"
                },
                {
                    "text": "This is a story about a llama"
                },
                {
                    "text": "This is a story about a hugging emoji"
                }
            ],
            "external_reference": "reference-1"
        }
    ]
  }'

{
    "result": {
        "status": "queued",
        "request_id": "768f15b7-4fd6-4498-906e-ad94ffc7f8d2",
        "model": "@cf/baai/bge-m3"
    },
    "success": true,
    "errors": [],
    "messages": []
}

2. Retrieving the Batch Response

After receiving a request_id from your initial POST, you can poll for or retrieve the results with another POST request:

Retrieving a responsebash

curl "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/$ACCOUNT_ID/ai/run/@cf/baai/bge-m3?queueRequest=true" \
 --header "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN" \
 --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 --json '{
    "request_id": "<uuid>"
  }'

{
    "result": {
        "responses": [
            {
                "id": 0,
                "result": {
                    "response": [
                        { "id": 0, "score": 0.73974609375 },
                        { "id": 1, "score": 0.642578125 },
                        { "id": 2, "score": 0.6220703125 }
                    ]
                },
                "success": true,
                "external_reference": "reference-1"
            }
        ],
        "usage": { "prompt_tokens": 12, "completion_tokens": 0, "total_tokens": 12 }
    },
    "success": true,
    "errors": [],
    "messages": []
}
