Prediction

Prediction API is the primary endpoint for interacting with your Flowise flows and assistants. It allows you to send messages to your selected flow and receive responses back. This API handles the core chat functionality, including:

• Chat Interactions: Send questions or messages to your flow and receive AI-generated responses

• Streaming Responses: Get real-time streaming responses for better user experience

• Conversation Memory: Maintain context across multiple messages within a session

• File Processing: Upload and process images, audio, and other files as part of your queries

• Dynamic Configuration: Override chatflow settings and pass variables at runtime

For details, see the Prediction Endpoint API Reference.

Base URL and Authentication

Base URL: http://localhost:3000 (or your Flowise instance URL)

Endpoint: POST /api/v1/prediction/:id

Authentication: Refer Authentication for Flows

Python SDK Usage

Basic Usage

from flowise import Flowise, PredictionData

# Initialize client
client = Flowise(base_url="http://localhost:3000")

# Non-streaming prediction
try:
    response = client.create_prediction(
        PredictionData(
            chatflowId="your-chatflow-id",
            question="What is machine learning?",
            streaming=False
        )
    )
    
    # Handle response
    for result in response:
        print("Response:", result)
        
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")

Streaming

from flowise import Flowise, PredictionData

Direct HTTP API Usage

If you prefer to use the REST API directly without SDKs:

Basic Request

Python (requests)

import requests
import json

def send_message(chatflow_id, question, streaming=False):
    url = f"http://localhost:3000/api/v1/prediction/{chatflow_id}"
    
    payload = {
        "question": question,
        "streaming": streaming
    }
    
    headers = {
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
    
    try:
        response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers)
        response.raise_for_status()  # Raise exception for bad status codes
        
        return response.json()
        
    except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
        print(f"Request failed: {e}")
        return None

# Usage
result = send_message(
    chatflow_id="your-chatflow-id",
    question="What is artificial intelligence?",
    streaming=False
)

if result:
    print("Response:", result)

JavaScript (fetch)

async function sendMessage(chatflowId, question, streaming = false) {
    const url = `http://localhost:3000/api/v1/prediction/${chatflowId}`;
    
    const payload = {
        question: question,
        streaming: streaming
    };
    
    try {
        const response = await fetch(url, {
            method: 'POST',
            headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            },
            body: JSON.stringify(payload)
        });
        
        if (!response.ok) {

    }
});

cURL

curl -X POST "http://localhost:3000/api/v1/prediction/your-chatflow-id" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "question": "What is artificial intelligence?",
    "streaming": false
  }'

Advanced Features

Configuration Override

Override chatflow settings dynamically.

Override config is disabled by default for security reasons. Enable it from the top right: Settings → Configuration → Security tab:

Python

import requests

def query_with_config(flow_id, question, config):
    url = f"http://localhost:3000/api/v1/prediction/{flow_id}"
    
    payload = {
        "question": question,
        "overrideConfig": config
    }
    
    try:
        response = requests.post(url, json=payload)
        response.raise_for_status()
        return response.json()
    except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
        print(f"Error: {e}")
        return None

# Example: Override session and return source documents
result = query_with_config(
    flow_id="your-flow-id",
    question="How does machine learning work?",
    config={
        "sessionId": "user-123",
        "returnSourceDocuments": True,
        "temperature": 0.5,
        "maxTokens": 1000
    }
)

print(result)

JavaScript

async function queryWithConfig(flowId, question, config) {
    const url = `http://localhost:3000/api/v1/prediction/${flowId}`;
    
    const payload = {
        question: question,
        overrideConfig: config
    };
    
    try {
        const response = await fetch(url, {
            method: 'POST',
            headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            },
            body: JSON.stringify(payload)
        });
        
        if (!response.ok) {
            throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
        }
        
        return await response.json();
        
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error:', error);
        return null;
    }
}

// Example: Override session and return source documents
queryWithConfig(
    'your-flow-id',
    'How does machine learning work?',
    {
        sessionId: 'user-123',
        returnSourceDocuments: true,
        temperature: 0.5,
        maxTokens: 1000
    }
).then(result => {
    console.log(result);
});

Conversation History

Provide conversation context by including previous messages in the history array.

History Message Format

{
    "role": "apiMessage" | "userMessage",
    "content": "Message content"
}

Python

import requests

def chat_with_history(flow_id, question, history):
    url = f"http://localhost:3000/api/v1/prediction/{flow_id}"
    
    payload = {
        "question": question,
        "history": history
    }
    
    try:
        response = requests.post(url, json=payload)
        response.raise_for_status()
        return response.json()
    except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
        print(f"Error: {e}")
        return None

# Example conversation with context
conversation_history = [
    {
        "role": "apiMessage",
        "content": "Hello! I'm an AI assistant. How can I help you today?"
    },
    {
        "role": "userMessage", 
        "content": "Hi, my name is Sarah and I'm learning about AI"
    },
    {
        "role": "apiMessage",
        "content": "Nice to meet you, Sarah! I'd be happy to help you learn about AI. What specific aspects interest you?"
    }
]

result = chat_with_history(
    flow_id="your-flow-id",
    question="Can you explain neural networks in simple terms?",
    history=conversation_history
)

print(result)

JavaScript

async function chatWithHistory(flowId, question, history) {
    const url = `http://localhost:3000/api/v1/prediction/${flowId}`;
    
    const payload = {
        question: question,
        history: history
    };
    
    try {
        const response = await fetch(url, {
            method: 'POST',
            headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            },
            body: JSON.stringify(payload)
        });
        
        if (!response.ok) {
            throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
        }
        
        return await response.json();
        
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error:', error);
        return null;
    }
}

// Example conversation with context
const conversationHistory = [
    {
        role: "apiMessage",
        content: "Hello! I'm an AI assistant. How can I help you today?"
    },
    {
        role: "userMessage", 
        content: "Hi, my name is Sarah and I'm learning about AI"
    },
    {
        role: "apiMessage",
        content: "Nice to meet you, Sarah! I'd be happy to help you learn about AI. What specific aspects interest you?"
    }
];

chatWithHistory(
    'your-flow-id',
    'Can you explain neural networks in simple terms?',
    conversationHistory
).then(result => {
    console.log(result);
});

Session Management

Use sessionId to maintain conversation state across multiple API calls. Each session maintains its own conversation context and memory.

Python

import requests

class FlowiseSession:
    def __init__(self, flow_id, session_id, base_url="http://localhost:3000"):
        self.flow_id= flow_id
        self.session_id = session_id
        self.base_url = base_url
        self.url = f"{base_url}/api/v1/prediction/{flow_id}"
    
    def send_message(self, question, **kwargs):
        payload = {
            "question": question,
            "overrideConfig": {
                "sessionId": self.session_id,
                **kwargs.get("overrideConfig", {})
            }
        }
        
        # Add any additional parameters
        for key, value in kwargs.items():
            if key != "overrideConfig":
                payload[key] = value
        
        try:
            response = requests.post(self.url, json=payload)
            response.raise_for_status()
            return response.json()
        except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
            print(f"Error: {e}")
            return None

# Usage
session = FlowiseSession(
    flow_id="your-flow-id",
    session_id="user-session-123"
)

# First message
response1 = session.send_message("Hello, my name is John")
print("Response 1:", response1)

# Second message - will remember the previous context
response2 = session.send_message("What's my name?")
print("Response 2:", response2)

JavaScript

    const response2 = await session.sendMessage("What's my name?");
    console.log("Response 2:", response2);
}

conversationExample();

Variables

Pass dynamic variables to your flow using the vars property in overrideConfig. Variables can be used in your flow to inject dynamic content.

Variables must be created first before you can override it. Refer to Variables

Python

import requests

def send_with_variables(flow_id, question, variables):
    url = f"http://localhost:3000/api/v1/prediction/{flow_id}"
    
    payload = {
        "question": question,
        "overrideConfig": {
            "vars": variables
        }
    }
    
    try:
        response = requests.post(url, json=payload)
        response.raise_for_status()
        return response.json()
    except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
        print(f"Error: {e}")
        return None

# Example: Pass user information and preferences
result = send_with_variables(
    flow_id="your-flow-id",
    question="Create a personalized workout plan",
    variables={
        "user_name": "Alice",

    console.log(result);
});

Image Uploads

Upload images for visual analysis when your flow supports image processing. Refer to Image for more reference.

Upload Structure:

{
    "data": "", 
    "type": "",
    "name": ",
    "mime": "
}

Data: Base64 or URL of an image

Type: url or file

Name: name of the image

Mime: image/png, image/jpeg, image/jpg

Python (Base64)

import requests
