Cohere Tokenize API

The Cohere Tokenize API splits input text into tokens using the tokenizer associated with a specified model. It returns both the token strings and their corresponding token IDs. This is useful for understanding how text will be processed by Cohere models, estimating token counts for billing purposes, and debugging input formatting issues.

Cohere Tokenize 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, Natural Language Processing, Text Processing, and Tokenization. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and an OpenAPI specification.

This API exposes 1 operation across 1 path, and defines 3 schemas. It is described by OpenAPI 3.2.0, at version 2.0.

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

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Cohere Tokenize API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
