Cohere Embed Jobs API

The Cohere Embed Jobs API allows developers to create and manage batch embedding jobs for processing large volumes of text data asynchronously. Rather than embedding texts one at a time, developers can submit datasets for bulk embedding and monitor job progress. This is useful for initializing vector databases, processing large document collections, and other scenarios where embedding large amounts of content is needed.

Cohere Embed Jobs API is one of 9 APIs that cohere publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.

Tagged areas include Artificial Intelligence, Batch Processing, Embeddings, and Vector Search. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and an OpenAPI specification.

This API exposes 4 operations across 3 paths, and defines 5 schemas. It is described by OpenAPI 3.1.0, at version 2.0.

Requests are made against a single base URL, https://api.cohere.com.
